Is this different from calling my internet provider?
▼
Yes. Your ISP can usually only troubleshoot up to the modem — a FixlyDesk tech can dig into your actual home or office network: routers, Wi-Fi coverage, device conflicts, and configuration issues your provider won't touch.
Can someone come to my house to fix my Wi-Fi?
▼
Yes, many network issues are best solved in person. When you submit a request, you can note whether you'd prefer an on-site visit or remote troubleshooting.
Do you help set up new routers or mesh systems?
▼
Yes — from a single router swap to a full mesh Wi-Fi setup covering a larger home or office, techs on FixlyDesk handle both.
Do I need a new router, or can mine be fixed?
▼
Often the router is fine and the real problem is where it sits, a setting, or a firmware update it never received. A tech can test what you already have before anything gets replaced. If the unit genuinely is the bottleneck — an old ISP-issued box trying to cover a whole house, say — you should expect to be told that plainly rather than sold around it.
What if the problem turns out to be my internet provider's fault?
▼
That happens, and it is worth knowing either way. A tech can test at the modem and separate a fault inside your home from one on the provider's side, then hand you the specifics of what was ruled out. Repairing the line itself is the ISP's job, not something a tech can do for you, but you go into that call with evidence instead of being told to reboot again.
How long does a Wi-Fi or network job usually take?
▼
A single fault with an obvious cause, like a modem that lost its connection or a device that won't rejoin the network, can often be sorted in one short session. Coverage problems take longer because the tech has to move through the space and test as they go. Intermittent drops sometimes need more than one visit to catch the fault actually happening, and techs will tell you what they expect when they offer on your request.
What should I have ready before a tech looks at my network?
▼
The login for your ISP account or your router if you have it, and access to wherever the modem and router actually live — a closet, a basement corner, behind a TV. It also helps to note which devices misbehave and when, since a drop that only happens in one room points somewhere different from one that takes down everything at once. If you don't have the router password, say so in the request; there are ways around it, but it changes the approach.
