Local context
Home tech help, tailored to Napier.
Napier homes have particular quirks. Art Deco character houses in town with original plaster walls that block WiFi like nothing else. Coastal properties out toward Westshore and Ahuriri where salt air is rough on cheaper electronics. Hill homes around Bluff Hill and Hospital Hill where signal drops between floors. New builds in Greenmeadows and Pirimai with smart-home setups someone else installed and walked away from. Glenn knows the patterns.
If this sounds familiar in Napier
Common things Glenn fixes in Napier homes.
- WiFi that doesn't reach upstairs or the back of a hill property
- Smart TV that's confusing to set up or keeps disconnecting from streaming
- Slow computer that's been getting worse and you can't tell why
- Printer that worked fine until something changed
- An older parent or family member who needs patient, in-home help
- Moving house and needing everything reconnected at once
You don't need to know the right technical words. Just tell Glenn what is happening.

Common questions
Home tech help in Napier - common questions.
Do you cover all of Napier?
Yes - Bay View, Taradale, Marewa, Westshore, Greenmeadows, Poraiti, the hill suburbs and the city centre. If you're in greater Napier, Glenn comes to you.
Can you help with hill-property WiFi blackspots in Napier?
Yes. Hill homes in Napier often have WiFi that works fine in the main room but drops in back bedrooms or basement spaces. Glenn typically fixes this with a properly placed mesh extender or by re-positioning the router - he'll work out what's actually needed before suggesting kit.
How long do you usually spend at a Napier visit?
Glenn doesn't run a meter and doesn't rush - he works through the problem properly and explains the next step in plain English before he leaves.
Do you help people who are not confident with technology?
Yes, all the time. Glenn never makes anyone feel silly. Many of his customers describe themselves as 'not techy' and that is exactly who this service is for.
Will you talk to my internet provider for me?
Yes. If the underlying problem is with your telco, Glenn will act as your advocate and speak tech on your behalf so you do not have to.
Do you offer ongoing help?
Yes. Many customers call Glenn whenever something new comes up. There is no pressure either way.
