PC Scientist · Bar Beach

IT support and computer repairs for Bar Beach units with a fast plan and slow Wi-Fi

Shared walls, shared stairwells and a dozen routers all shouting on the same channels. Near the beach, that crowded air can leave the balcony desk lagging and the lounge TV buffering, even on a premium plan.

We can visit to choose a quieter channel and a smarter spot for your router, and check any laptop that runs hot. Mail and software issues can be sorted remotely. Ask for a call back to find a time.
