Gerard just saved me a bunch of time and money in resolving my home internet issues.
I don't live in a large house, but because I have interference issues with my WiFi router, I have very spotty Internet in my home office (and I work from home) and my bedroom upstairs. I've tried extending my network with a WiFi router and that didn't work because that extending router was experiencing the same interference issues in getting a signal from the main router.
I was telling Gerard in passing that I was going to have my ISP come out and install another modem, and I was all ready to go. This option would have cost me about $150 between the installation fee and purchasing the new modem. Gerard suggested that I reconsider this because it would isolate my office computer from my main network (and I wouldn't be able to print, use Apple's hand-off, or see network files), and it's not a great home networking solution. Instead, he recommended that I purchase the "TP-LINK TL-PA4010KIT AV500 Nano Powerline Adapter Starter Kit, up to 500Mbps" for $37 and turn my powerlines into conduits for my network.
I just installed the wired Powerline Adapters and they work like a charm. Gerard just saved me over $110 and a ton of hassle dealing with a walled-off computer.
Working with Gerard on this has been great. He has a true passion for technology and followed up with me to make sure it all worked out. He really cares about delivering good service and making other people's lives easier with technology hacks. read more
