Computer Upgrades for homes in Mt Eden & Mt Albert
The area is full of villas, bungalows and 1930s to 1950s homes, many built from or around volcanic stone, brick and solid timber. Home offices are common, and families often have several people streaming and on video calls at once. A cabled access point or two, and moving the router out of a cupboard, usually fixes coverage more reliably than extenders.

Visiting sites in Mt Eden & Mt Albert
Most visits are to houses on suburban streets, so parking is generally straightforward. Dominion Road and Mt Eden Village shops have limited parking at busy times. Older homes may have low subfloors or tight ceiling spaces, which we check before planning any cabling through the house.
We work right across the area, including:
Signs it's time to book
- The desktop struggles with design, video or CAD work it used to handle
- The power supply is noisy, smells hot or the computer restarts under load
- The computer takes a long time to start and programs are slow to open
Before we arrive
- A rough idea of whether you would rather upgrade or are open to replacing
- The make and model of the computer, or a photo of the label underneath or on the back
- What you use it for and what feels slow

Computer Upgrades in Mt Eden & Mt Albert: questions
Why is my Wi-Fi poor in an old stone or brick house?
Stone, brick and solid timber absorb wireless signal. The usual fix is to run a cable from the router to an access point in the part of the house that struggles, rather than adding more wireless extenders.
Do you help home-based businesses?
Yes. Many people in Mt Eden, Mt Albert and Sandringham run a business from home. We set up the office network, backups, printing and Microsoft 365 just as we would for a larger office.
Do you cover Mt Roskill and Three Kings?
Yes. We cover Mt Eden, Mt Albert, Sandringham, Balmoral, Three Kings and Mt Roskill, for homes and businesses. Let us know whether it is a house, a shop or an office, and where the router or comms cupboard sits.
Do you do computer upgrades in Mt Eden?
Yes. We cover all of Mt Eden & Mt Albert, including Mt Eden, Mt Albert, Sandringham, Balmoral, Three Kings, Mt Roskill.
My computer says it cannot run Windows 11. Is there anything you can do?
Sometimes the check fails because a setting such as TPM or Secure Boot is switched off, which we can turn on. If the processor itself is not supported, we explain the options, including whether replacing the computer makes more sense.
