If it plugs in and nobody can figure it out, we can help.
Ask anything you like. We'll explain what we're doing while we do it.
Wi-Fi that reaches the whole house
The back bedroom with no signal, the guest network nobody can remember, the router hidden in a closet doing its best. Usually the fix is placement, and your plan is fine.
Computers that have gotten slow or strange
Slow, cluttered, full of things you didn't install. We'll clean it up, get it current, and set up a backup that runs on its own.
TVs, streaming and “where did my channel go”
New TV set up, streaming apps sorted out, remotes that work, and one clear explanation of which button does what.
Phones and tablets, set up your way
New phone and everything is in the wrong place. We move it all across, sort the photos out, and make it readable again.
Learning it at your own pace
We'll slow down or write the steps out for you whenever you ask. Learning it once beats calling somebody every month.
Doorbells, cameras and smart home gear
Doorbells, cameras, speakers, thermostats and lights, set up so they notify the right phone and you can find them when you need them.
Printers that won't print
Wireless printers drop off the network all the time. We'll get yours connected, printing and scanning, and explain why it keeps disappearing.
Scams, pop-ups and “is this email real?”
If something on the screen is trying to scare you into calling a number, that's the scam. We'll clean it up and show you how to recognize it.
What tech help looks like around here.
The Heights, Hillcrest and the Quapaw Quarter are old brick and plaster with the router wherever the cable came in forty years ago, and the newer houses out in Chenal, Maumelle and Bryant are big enough that one box in a closet reaches half of them. Either way the fix is usually placement and a second access point, not a faster plan, and we'll say plainly when it's the service and not the house.
Patient, unhurried help, especially for the 55+ crowd.
Plenty of households here spent careers at the state, the hospitals and the base at Jacksonville, being good at something hard, and are now being told by a phone that their password is wrong. We sit down, go at your pace, and write things down if you want them written down.

Yes, and please ask. We take our time and we don't assume you already know what a setting is. Tell us you'd like to understand it and we'll teach you as we go.
Do you fix broken devices, or just set things up?
We fix them. Slow, frozen, locked out, won't connect, won't print: that's the job. The one thing we don't do is open a device up to replace a screen, a battery or a part. If that's what your problem turns out to be, we'll tell you as soon as we know.
