Shawn was wonderful. He spent over three hours at my house troubleshooting an access point problem and rebuilding my network to be more intuitive and easy for a non-IT person to understand. He was patient and explained everything and great detail. I would highly recommend his services.

No actual work was done. MacGyver NYC gave me advice and a selection of hardware for upgrading/improving my current home network set-up. That said I was also given valuable explanations on network set-up and how devices best interact. I am now considering my options and would be happy to have MacGyver NYC perform the work if I decide to proceed.

This was the first time I ever turned to an internet option for solving a tech problem rather than going with a personal referral, and my first foray led me to a technician of the highest caliber.  I wholeheartedly recommend MacGyver NYC to anyone seeking unparalleled service and a commitment to perfection that goes above and beyond expectations.   My Wi-Fi problems have been ongoing for years and so my Ring doorbell only worked sporadically. The Wi-Fi connectivity on my cell phone was always a problem as well. Despite many attempts at a fix, no permanent resolution was found. MacGyver NYC went above and beyond to troubleshoot and fix the Wi-Fi issues and not only identified the root causes of the problem but also implemented a solution that significantly improved my Wi-Fi speed and reliability. His systematic approach was nothing short of impressive.  He expertly evaluated the existing Wi-Fi hardware and home structure and discussed potential options (extenders vs access points vs mesh) to outfit the home. He designed a Wi-Fi solution that would allow for a strong connection, even in the dead-spots (front door, house extension, and basement). He also communicated with the security camera installer and ISP technical support personnel so that the new equipment would not disrupt the previously installed security system. Beyond MacGyver NYC’s technical expertise, his customer service was exemplary. He was always patient with my (many) questions and explained complex technical issues in an approachable and friendly manner and genuinely cared that I felt satisfied with the entire process. I wholeheartedly recommend MacGyver NYC for any tech- related service.

I recently had the pleasure of receiving assistance from Shaun who truly went above and beyond to help me resolve my internet problems. His exceptional service and expertise were an absolute lifesaver, and I cannot recommend them enough. From the moment I reached out for help, Shaun displayed an impressive level of professionalism and genuine care. He patiently listened to my concerns, asked insightful questions to understand the issue thoroughly, and then swiftly got to work on finding a solution. Not only did he diagnose the problem swiftly, but he also provided me with a range of viable solutions to choose from. Shaun patiently walked me through each option, outlining the pros and cons, and ensuring I had all the information needed to make an informed decision. Once we settled on the best course of action, Shaun wasted no time in implementing the solution. His efficiency and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process. He meticulously fine-tuned the settings, optimized the performance, and ensured that my internet connection was running flawlessly. But what truly set this individual apart was their unwavering dedication to customer satisfaction. He followed up with me multiple times to ensure that the issue was fully resolved and that I was completely satisfied with the outcome. Their commitment to going the extra mile left a lasting impression on me!
