What This Service Is
Consumer home-network setup and troubleshooting.
I focus on practical household connectivity: router setup, device connections, Wi-Fi troubleshooting, and helping you understand how your network is organized.
I do not install permanent network cabling, modify electrical systems, climb roofs or towers, or perform internet-provider infrastructure work. If the problem is outside the home or requires trade work, I will tell you.

Quick answers.
Can you make my internet faster?
I can troubleshoot the home-network side, but speed also depends on your internet plan, provider connection, equipment capability, device capability, distance and interference. I will not promise a speed your service cannot deliver.
Do I need a new router?
Not always. We can review the existing setup first. If replacement equipment would likely help, I can explain what features matter before you buy.
Can you help with mesh Wi-Fi?
Yes, I can help set up and configure compatible consumer mesh systems and connect household devices.
