Computer Repair in Marietta, GA

Older Houses, Thicker Walls

Much of Marietta's housing is a good deal older than the networking equipment inside it. The streets around the Square and through the historic neighborhoods are full of houses built long before anyone thought about where a router might go, with plaster, chimney stacks, and additions that have grown in several directions over the years.

The result is predictable: strong signal in the room with the router, very little of it two rooms away, and a household that has quietly accepted the upstairs being unusable. That is a solvable problem, and rarely by replacing the router with a bigger one.

• Wi-Fi surveys measured room by room, not from the router
• Access points placed where the walls allow signal to reach
• Wired runs where the construction makes wireless a losing battle

The Family Computer

Most Marietta calls are the household machine that everyone uses and nobody maintains — the one with the taxes on it, the photos going back fifteen years, and no backup. It gets slow, it fills with things somebody agreed to install, and eventually the drive starts failing.

We work on it where it stands. Nothing gets unplugged and carried out to a car, and the photos stay in the house the entire time.

• Virus and malware removal with your files left in place
• Failing drives replaced and everything moved to the new one
• Data recovery when the drive has gone before the backup existed
• A backup set up afterwards so this is the last time

Small Businesses Around the Square

Marietta's independent businesses — shops, practices, and offices in converted buildings near the Square — tend to run a handful of computers, a point-of-sale system, and a network that grew one device at a time. We keep that sort of setup working without pretending it needs an enterprise budget. See business IT support.
