I was in need of a network upgrade in my house. I had pre wired Ethernet ports in each room but they needed to be terminated and connected to a modem. I also wanted to improve my wifi signal and speed throughout my home. Ari was awesome! We had a zoom call to discuss a game plan. We decided to install 3x Eeros Pro 7s to improve the WiFi coverage and speed as well as install a switch so that each room’s Ethernet ports would be active. Ruben came out to do the work, it was estimated that it would take him 4 hours to do. He completed the project in 2 hours! Saving me time and money! He was very polite and professional. Overall I had a great experience with Bay Area Tech Hero, I would recommend them to others and will return, if needed, in the future.
