Muskogee, Fort Gibson, Wagoner, Checotah, Okmulgee, Tahlequah and the towns between. A Local Nerd drives to you for house calls, or helps remotely when that's faster.
Pick a time, we come to your door, and you agree to the rate before we start. Remote help works too when that's faster.
In person from $110/hr. $39 books it, and the rest is charged when the work is done. Remote help $39 for 30 minutes. Card only, no cash or checks. You agree to the rate before we start.
Ask anything you like. We'll explain what we're doing while we do it.
If it works in one room and not the next, that's a coverage problem and it's fixable. We start by moving things around, before anybody sells you a bigger bill.
New TV set up, streaming apps sorted out, remotes that work, and one clear explanation of which button does what.
The machine that takes four minutes to start, the file that vanished, the update that won't finish. We sort those out and set up a backup while we're there.
Photos, contacts, passwords and the settings nobody can find. We'll get it set up the way you want to use it.
If you want to understand it well enough to do it yourself next time, tell us when you book. That's our favorite kind of visit.
Wireless printers drop off the network all the time. We'll get yours connected, printing and scanning, and explain why it keeps disappearing.
Cameras you can pull up when you need them, a doorbell that rings the right phone, a thermostat that keeps its schedule. We set it up and explain it once.
We'll go through what's on there, get rid of what shouldn't be, and show you how to spot the next one.
Eastern Oklahoma is hard on internet service. Hills, trees and distance get in the way, and a lot of households here are on slower service than the metros take for granted. So we work on getting the most out of the connection you have: streaming without buffering, and finding the settings that are eating into it.
We're glad to teach: how to spot a scam email, how to get the photos off the phone, how to get back to the channel you were on. No question is too basic.

Somebody two states away is worried that Mom can't get the TV back to normal, or that Dad keeps getting locked out of his email. You can arrange it for them. Book the session or gift a membership and we'll handle it with them directly, at a time that suits.
Send a NerdYes. A Local Nerd drives in for house calls, and a visit in Muskogee is $110 an hour, shown before you book. Tahlequah and Okmulgee are in the 25 to 50 mile band at $130. Stigler, Sallisaw and the towns toward Fort Smith are remote for now, by phone and screen share. We're recruiting a Local Nerd based in Muskogee, which shortens the drive.
Often, yes. A lot of slow internet is a router in the wrong place, an old device holding the network back, or settings nobody changed. We'll tell you which it is, and if you need a different plan, we'll tell you that too.
Remote help is $39 for a 30-minute session. In-person visits are $110 an hour within 25 miles of downtown Muskogee and $130 in the 25 to 50 mile band, and the higher rate is how we pay for the drive. Some addresses are served remotely today, or by a drive from a neighboring Local Nerd. Type your ZIP when you book and you'll see the answer for your address. A $39 deposit books an in-person visit and the rest is charged after your Local Nerd finishes and you sign off on the work. Nerd on Call membership is $14.99 a month and includes two remote sessions and an in-person visit a year, plus 20% off anything extra. You always agree to the rate before we start.
Yes. We go at your pace and explain things in everyday words. If you'd like to learn to do it yourself, say so when you book.
Yes, if broken means slow, glitchy, locked out, or won't do what it did last week. We don't open machines up to replace parts, and we don't recover data off a dead drive. When that's the problem, we say so and don't bill you for finding it out.
What opens a market is a Local Nerd who knows the area, likes people, and is good at explaining things. Set your own availability, keep the majority of every booking, and help your neighbors. See what being the Local Nerd in Muskogee involves or apply here.
