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.

We recently had Shawn come to our office to diagnose issues we are having with our WiFi. Shawn was on time, extremely thorough & very considerate of our space. He provided a valuable assessment & advice for how to resolve the issue, and made himself fully available for follow up questions. I would highly suggest MacGyver NYC for any tech/WiFi needs, home or office! Will certainly plan on working with MacGyver again & highly recommend them!

We hired Shawn to enhance our Wi-Fi and install new access points in our home. He arrived on time, was professional and got the job done! What we appreciated was that he evaluated the situation before he even arrived by asking questions and for photos. He did not suggest a whole new expensive upgrade, but to work with what we had, which made sense. I’d recommend him(and already have) and work with him again in a heartbeat!

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.

Service was great as Shawn was knowledgeable and professional. He requested to come assess our setup rather than just suggesting any one solution right away. He did a thorough job understanding our needs, and when he was done we had a solid plan in place to improve our home WiFi system. Kindness and experience go a long way! Highly recommend for those that depend on a stable connection.
