Stop reading Amazon reviews written by bots. Get a real recommendation for your actual home — based on your layout, your devices, your internet, and your budget.
Dave's Computers stopped in-home visits a while back. The logistics, the scheduling, the rush — it produced worse results for customers and that's not acceptable. What we offer instead is a $149 remote wireless consultation — and honestly, for most people it's more valuable than someone showing up and clicking through a setup wizard at your kitchen table. Here's why.
Remote Wireless Consultation
One flat fee. No travel charge. No upsell. Just a straight answer on what your home actually needs.
What's included
Before your consult, send us these. The more detail you give, the more specific and useful our recommendation will be.
Walk-through shots of each floor, basement if applicable. We need to see wall construction, router placement, and where devices live.
Provider, speed tier (e.g. 500Mbps/1Gbps), and what modem or gateway your ISP gave you. Screenshots of a speed test help too.
Phones, laptops, smart TVs, gaming consoles, smart home devices, security cameras. Approximate count is fine.
Be honest — a $150 budget and a $400 budget lead to very different recommendations, and we'll tell you what each gets you.
Dead spots in the bedroom? Drops during video calls? Slow speeds in the basement? Specific problems get specific solutions.
We've had customers come to us after spending $280 on a router with 4.7 stars and 12,000 reviews — and the signal in their bedroom is still dead. The reviews weren't wrong. The router is great. In a 900 square foot apartment. Their house is 2,400 square feet with plaster walls.
A huge percentage of five-star router reviews are paid placements, incentivized reviews, or just people who set it up next to the device they're testing it on. None of them know anything about your home, your ISP, or your specific dead zones. Amazon's algorithm doesn't either.
We do. That's the whole difference.
"Amazing router! Super fast speeds and easy setup. Works great in my apartment!"
"Best router I've ever owned. Covers my whole home. No dead spots anywhere!"
"Terrible. Drops signal in the back of my house. Wouldn't recommend."
Here's what actually happens when you book a consultation with Dave's — versus spending four hours on Reddit threads and still not knowing what to buy.
Photos of your home layout, your internet plan, device count, and what's currently frustrating you. The more specific you are, the more useful our answer. This is not a questionnaire — just tell us what's going on in plain English.
Dave looks at your actual home — not a generic scenario. He identifies where your current setup is failing and why. This is not a chatbot answer or a decision tree. It's someone who's spent years setting up wireless networks looking at your specific situation.
Not a link to whatever Amazon is pushing this week. A specific product recommendation — often something you've never heard of — with an explanation of why it fits your home, your ISP, and your device load. Plus a note on what not to buy and why the obvious choice is often wrong.
Step-by-step notes on placement, configuration, and anything specific to your setup that could trip you up. If there's a node placement that matters, we'll tell you exactly where and why. The goal is that you unbox it, follow the steps, and it just works.
Square footage, wall materials, device count, ISP — the recommendation is built around your actual situation, not a spec sheet average.
We recommend from real experience. We've installed and troubleshot these systems. If something has a reputation for problems, we know it — and we'll tell you.
The right answer for your home might be a product you've never seen ranked on any "top 10 routers" list. Good tech doesn't always have a marketing budget.
We'll be straight with you about whether this is right for you.
You don't need to be an IT professional. If you can take a new device out of the box, plug in a couple of cables, and follow an app walkthrough — you can set up a modern mesh system.
Modern mesh routers are designed to be set up by normal people. The apps walk you through it. The hard part isn't the setup — it's knowing which system to buy and where to put the nodes. That's what the consultation solves.
If you've ever set up a printer, connected a smart TV, or used a new phone — you can do this. We'll make sure you have everything you need to get it right on the first try.
📧 Book the Consult — $149Not everyone wants to be their own IT person — and that's completely fair. Tech setup can feel intimidating if it's not your world, and there's no shame in that.
We have a trusted friend in the area who does home tech setup — someone we know personally and would send our own family to. If you'd like a referral, just reach out. We'll connect you directly.
No upsell. No commission. Just a straight referral to someone who will actually do the job right.

A real person who knows what they're talking about, looking at your specific situation.
