Start here
Downsizing is enough on its own. The WiFi shouldn't be the thing that makes you cry.
Move-in day is boxes, keys, forms, a new address to remember and someone asking where the couch goes. Somewhere in that pile is a router in a plastic bag, a TV that needs re-tuning and a phone jack nobody has tested. It's the last thing you need to be figuring out at 6pm with a screwdriver.
So we handle that end of it. One tech, one visit, everything set up and tested with you standing there. No jargon, no rush, no making you feel silly for asking a question twice. Talking costs nothing. Call us and tell us what village.
- Your WiFi router — placed where the signal actually reaches.
- Your TV — Sky, Freeview, apps, all working.
- Your home phone — jack tested, patched, ringing.

For sons and daughters
Booking for a parent moving into a village? We handle it end-to-end.
You're organising the move from Ponsonby or Botany or Wellington. You can't be there on the day. That's fine. Book on their behalf, put your card on it, tell us the village name and unit number, and we'll liaise directly with them and with reception.
We'll send you a photo when we arrive so you know we're there. We'll send you a summary when we leave — what we set up, what to do if it breaks. Your card, their peace of mind.

Why us
Why families pick us for this
We're cabling specialists, not generalists
We do the physical layer — cables, sockets, antennae, routers — better than IT-help companies, because that's what we do all day.
Kind, patient, unhurried
Every tech is briefed to slow down, use plain English, and never make you feel silly for asking.
Fixed price. No clock-watching stress
You know the number before we arrive. If it runs over on our mistake, that's on us.
Site Safe certified + fully insured
Villages that need contractor paperwork — we've got it.
Gold Card 10% off labour
Because it's the right thing.
FAQ
Questions we get asked
How much does retirement village tech setup cost?
Essentials from $149, Complete from $249. Fixed price, no callout fee for scheduled village visits. Gold Card holders 10% off labour.
How long does it take?
Essentials 60 min, Complete 90 min. If your setup needs more time we'll tell you upfront, not on the invoice.
Which retirement villages do you service?
All Auckland villages — Ryman, Metlifecare, Summerset, Arvida, Bupa, Oceania, plus independents. Give us the village name and unit number when you book and we'll handle reception access.
Can my daughter or son book on my behalf?
Yes, very common. Your family pays, we liaise directly with you and the village, and we send them a photo when we arrive and a summary when we're done.
Do you set up printers?
Yes, in the Complete package. If you just want WiFi and TV, Essentials is the cheaper option.
What if something breaks after you leave?
Free 30-day call-back if any of the setup we did stops working. Fair wear-and-tear on your own devices isn't covered, but everything we cabled or configured is.
Do you talk down to older people?
No. Every tech is briefed to be patient and jargon-free. If our tech isn't the right fit for you, tell us and we'll send someone else. First rule: we work at your pace.
Do you cover south and west Auckland retirement villages?
Yes. Every part of Auckland — Warkworth in the north, Manukau in the south, Waitakere in the west. Unlike some seniors-tech services that only cover central and eastern suburbs, we come to your village wherever it is.
