Birmingham Gardens share house? Student computer repairs and IT support for the Wi-Fi

A group assignment is due at nine and someone has started a huge game download. Near the university, many Birmingham Gardens houses run far more devices than the provider's router was built for, so one busy link stalls everybody.

We can visit to set up Wi-Fi that shares more fairly between housemates, and check any study laptop that has started failing. Accounts and software can be sorted remotely. Call 0493 563 381.

Book online for eligible visits and get 10% off.

FAQ

Straight answers for Birmingham Gardens

Yes. We check whether the crack is only the glass layer or the display panel, then source the right replacement for your model. While it is with us, we can make sure your uni files are backed up. Screen jobs depend on the model, so we quote first and only order the part once you have agreed to the price.

Call us straight away. We can often check it remotely or book a visit quickly, and we will try to recover your files first.

Once it is sorted, we can set up automatic backups so it does not happen again.

A single basic router often struggles with five or six people streaming, gaming, and studying. We check the router, placement, and internet plan, then suggest a better setup.

A written quote makes it easy to split the cost between housemates.

Both. Many software and account problems can be fixed remotely, and we visit for hardware and network jobs.

If it is a lost file before a deadline, we will say straight away which path is faster.

We help around the university and nearby suburbs, including Callaghan, Jesmond, Warabrook, Shortland, and Waratah.

Ring and we will confirm.

Yes. We give one clear figure for the house, in writing if you ask, so nobody argues over the split later.

If a single housemate's laptop needs extra work, that is priced separately for them.
