Software Installation & Troubleshooting 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.

Software Installation & Troubleshooting 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 software installation & troubleshooting in Mt Eden?

Yes. We cover all of Mt Eden & Mt Albert, including Mt Eden, Mt Albert, Sandringham, Balmoral, Three Kings, Mt Roskill.

Do you supply software licences?

Usually you buy the licence directly from the publisher or through your existing account, and we install and activate it. That way the licence is in your name. If you are unsure which edition you need, we explain the options before you buy.
