Email support
Email problems are one of the most common calls we get in The Patch. Outlook may stop syncing, Gmail might not send or receive on your phone, or Bigpond and Telstra Mail need setting up on a new device.
We help with password and account access issues, suspicious login warnings, Outlook, Gmail and common personal email providers.
Whether email is on your computer, iPhone, Samsung or Android tablet, we troubleshoot the account settings and make sure messages flow reliably again.
Internet and Wi-Fi
Weak Wi-Fi in back rooms, granny flat signal issues and NBN dropouts are common in The Patch. We help with modem and router setup, mesh Wi-Fi, and getting smart TVs and security cameras back online after a network change.
Many customers are upgrading to FTTP for a stronger connection into the property. FTTP can improve the line coming in, but you may still need the right modem, router and Wi-Fi layout to get reliable coverage through the whole home — especially for home offices and video calls.
We also help when a new NBN box is installed but Wi-Fi still struggles at the far end of the house. A practical mesh or router placement fix often makes the biggest difference.
Smart home setup is another common request in The Patch — connecting phones, tablets, smart speakers, streaming sticks and smart TVs to your Wi-Fi so everything works together. We help with new device setup and when something drops off the network after a router or NBN change.
See our internet and Wi-Fi setup page for more on NBN troubleshooting, mesh Wi-Fi and router configuration.
Printers and scanners
Printer headaches in The Patch usually come down to Wi-Fi changes, driver issues or a printer that works on one device but not another. We troubleshoot HP, Brother, Canon and Epson printers — including offline errors, scanning problems and setup after a new modem.
If your printer disconnected when the NBN box was replaced, we reconnect it to the right network and make sure every computer and phone that needs to print can see it.
Learn more on our printer and scanner help page.

Plain English
Mesh Wi-Fi uses two or more units placed around your home to share one network. Unlike a single router at one end of the house, mesh nodes relay the signal so laptops, phones and smart TVs stay connected in back rooms and granny flats. It is a practical fix when your NBN connection is fine at the modem but weak everywhere else. A Geek can check your layout and set up mesh so you get one network name and fewer dropouts.
