Computer helpin McKinney,without thejargon.
McKinney mixes century old houses near the square with developments that went up last year, and the two need completely different approaches.
What I see in McKinney
Every town has its own patterns. These are the ones that come up here.
Historic downtown
Older homes around the square have plaster and lath walls that block a signal far more than drywall. Wired backhaul or powerline usually beats trying to force wifi through them.
Stonebridge and Craig Ranch
Large single family homes where the router sits in a study at one end and the complaint comes from the other. A twenty minute survey saves buying hardware you do not need.
Businesses near the square
Shops and offices where the point of sale, the back office printer and the guest wifi all share one connection and interfere with each other.
Boxes in the attic
McKinney has a lot of long time residents with decades of paperwork and family photographs in storage. That is the digital decluttering work, done at your table or collected and returned.

How soon can you come out to McKinney?
Usually within a couple of days, often sooner. McKinney is a short drive north, and evenings and weekends cost the same as a weekday morning.
What does a visit to McKinney cost?
$70 an hour for a home and $100 for a business, plus a $25 trip charge. I round to the nearest hour and tell you the likely total before I set off. No memberships and no diagnostic fee.
Do you work on both Macs and Windows?
Yes, along with iPhones, iPads, Android phones, printers, routers, smart TVs and the assorted boxes that arrived with your internet service.
Can you help my parents in McKinney?
Often that is the arrangement. You book it and cover it, I work directly with them at their pace, and you get a short written note after each visit so you know what changed.
Are you actually local?
Yes. I have lived in the Plano area for 33 years and McKinney is part of my regular service area, not somewhere I drive to occasionally.
Tell me what is going on
Describe it in whatever words you have. I will tell you straight whether I am the right person and roughly what it takes.
