Router Setup Ayrshire
Router, mesh, extender and home network setup across Ayrshire, with every device checked before the job is finished.
Quoted first, every time
Every job is quoted up front, priced on skill and complexity — never hourly. Remote work starts from £45. If I cannot fix it, you do not pay.
A new router should make life easier, but it often breaks printers, smart TVs, laptops, cameras, doorbells and anything else that quietly depended on the old Wi-Fi details.
I set up provider routers, third-party routers, mesh systems, extenders and powerline adapters, then reconnect and test the devices that matter so the house actually works afterwards.

What to know first
Why this happens, and what I check first
Plain-English notes to help you decide whether to try one quick check, book help, or stop spending money on the wrong fix.
Router setup is not just plugging in the new box. The real work is naming the network sensibly, securing it properly, placing it well and making sure older devices can still connect.
Mesh and extenders are useful when they are installed in the right places. Put them in dead zones and they repeat a bad signal. Place them correctly and they can transform a house.
For home offices and small businesses, router setup also means reliability: separating guest Wi-Fi, checking printers, avoiding weak passwords and making sure important devices do not disappear after every reboot.

Questions people actually ask about this
No jargon and no vague promises. If something is not here, ask and I will give you a straight answer.
Can you set up a router from my broadband provider?
Yes. I set up provider routers regularly and reconnect the devices that the provider usually leaves for you to sort.
Can you install a mesh Wi-Fi system?
Yes. I can advise what to buy, install it, place the nodes properly and test coverage around the property.
Will you reconnect printers and TVs afterwards?
Yes. The job is not finished until the important devices are checked and working.
What if I genuinely cannot afford this?
The main service is paid now, but a small number of free jobs are still kept aside each month for people who genuinely cannot afford repair.
Free help is by prior agreement only, never retrospectively. If cost is the real barrier, say that clearly in your first message before any work is quoted, booked or started.
It is reserved for pensioners on fixed incomes, disabled people, unemployed people, carers and low-income households. It is not a way of asking for a discount after the fact.
