Hawke's Bay · Home tech help
Glenn comes to your Hawke's Bay home, sorts the technology that has been frustrating you, and explains it in plain English. No jargon, no rush, no being made to feel silly.
In-home support across Hawke's Bay. Plain English, no jargon.
You might be the parent of someone older who can't get their WiFi back on. You might be moving house with a pile of devices to reconnect. You might be working from home and just need things to actually work. Or you might be sick of being made to feel stupid by call-centre scripts and setup guides written for someone else.
Glenn helps homeowners who want their technology to simply work. Older residents who want calm, respectful help at their own pace. Family members sorting tech for a parent. People working from home who need things running reliably. Anyone moving house. People living on their own who simply don't have someone available to call.
There is no such thing as a silly question. Glenn helps people at every level of confidence, every day.
WiFi that won't reach the back rooms
A slow, noisy or unreliable computer

You do not need to know the right technical words. You only need to tell Glenn what is not working.
Glenn listens to what is happening and works out what is actually wrong.
He sorts the problem on the spot wherever possible.
He gets your devices talking to each other and to the internet properly.
He sets things up so they are easier to live with day to day.
Before he leaves, Glenn explains what he did, in plain English, so you feel confident using it.
If something cannot be fixed on the spot, Glenn will tell you honestly and give you clear next steps.
Dropouts, dead spots, slow connections, modem and router setup, whole-property WiFi coverage. Glenn will speak to your telco on your behalf if your service is the underlying problem. UFB fibre, 4G wireless or Starlink - he will help you work out what makes sense for where you live.
Slow, sluggish or unresponsive computers brought back to life for a fraction of the cost of buying new. Glenn works on most devices under ten years old. Data backup included. Honest advice on whether it is worth upgrading or replacing.
Printers, scanners, phones and tablets set up, connected and working together properly.
You have bought the TV. Now it needs mounting properly, the streaming apps set up, and the soundbar talking to it. That is the bit nobody at the shop does. Glenn handles it, and helps with pre-purchase advice if you have not bought yet.
Moving home creates a pile of technology jobs at once. Glenn handles the lot: internet reconnection, new WiFi, TV and streaming, printers, computers and devices, and tidying the cables.
Glenn can often help with small, non-trade jobs around the home while he is there - sticking doors, hinges, picture hanging, flatpack assembly. Just ask.
“Perfect support and technological knowhow right in the comfort of your own home.”
Most people who call Glenn are not technical, and that is completely fine.
You do not need to explain the problem perfectly. You do not need to know what a router is, or which cable does what. You just describe what is happening in your own words, and Glenn takes it from there.
He will not talk down to you. He will not rush you. He will not bury you in jargon or push you to buy things you do not need.
Glenn's whole approach is calm, unhurried and respectful. The goal is not only to fix the problem, but to leave you understanding it and feeling back in control of your own home.

He is an independent local operator with no sales agenda - his job is to fix your problem and tell you the truth, not to push you toward a particular product or telco. Customers describe him as practical, friendly and easy to talk to, and he is known for explaining things clearly rather than making people feel out of their depth.
You do not need to diagnose it yourself. Call, message, or send a quick enquiry. Just describe what is happening, where you are in Hawke's Bay, and the best way to reach you.
