Seaford Onsite Computer Support : Getting a wireless signal to the back work shed

Today I’m up at Seaford helping out a crash repairer with getting their back workshop shed connected to the internet after their cat5 network cable was accidentally cut during some building work that’s happening onsite. Rather than repair the cable only to see it get crushed again while all the work is going on I suggested they use a wireless network instead as the speed and coverage of wifi has vastly improved in the past few years. With a little bit of configuration they were back up and running on the internet with a 100% rock solid wireless connection.

Warradale Computer Support : Wireless Printer troubleshooting

November 8, 2017 / Mark Jansen / 0 Comments

Today’s mission was a wireless printer in a customers house Warradale that just wouldn’t play the game and connect to his laptop after a firmware update on the printer. The printer had worked fine for several months but after this firmware update things went wrong. I’ve seen this sort of thing before several times and it’s often related to the printer not correctly connecting to the wireless router due to the wireless security settings. I logged into the modem and adjusted a few things to make the connection more compatible with the printer and everything suddenly started working again.

Seacombe Gardens computer repairs and support : Bad wireless signal fixed

October 16, 2017 / Mark Jansen / 0 Comments

A lady from Seacombe Gardens contacted me on the weekend saying she has a very poor wireless signal in the back rooms of her house after her new NBN modem was installed. Her son said Netflix and Youtube we’re completely awful to use and continually dropped out and come up with buffering messages all the time.

I took one look at her setup and told her that she was an ideal candidate for a powerline adapter + wireless access point upgrade.

She liked the sound of what this new technology can do and half an hour later the new network gear was installed and completely up and running with a brand new wireless access point in the bedroom area at the far end of the house.

Basically if the wireless signal from the original modem isn’t strong enough where you’re currently located in the house simply connect to the secondary wireless access point and BAM – perfect wireless reception. Good wireless signal throughout the house means everyone is happy 🙂

Lonsdale Computer Support : NBN issues for a mechanic

September 21, 2017 / Mark Jansen / 0 Comments

A mechanic in Lonsdale called me up today saying he was having all sorts of problems with his internet connection since the NBN roll-out started a few weeks back in his area. Telstra had switched him over to the NBN a week ago but a few days later a guy from the NBNCO messed with the node and killed their connection all together (and likely all the other businesses nearby too).

Since then they’ve gone dark and haven’t been able to do anything online which in this day and age for any business is an absolute nightmare. He wasn’t able to look up parts, watch instructional videos, send and receive emails or invoice any of his customers.

As you can imagine he wasn’t too happy at all. I helped him by installing a few USB Wi-Fi adapters in his office PC’s and connected the PC’s and his wireless printer through his iPhone as a hot-spot. It’s no replacement for a good high speed broadband connection but at least right now they’re back online and can keep the cogs of the business turning.
