Houghton Regis lies north of Dunstable, east of our base. We fix home Wi-Fi, repair computers and support small firms in the town.
Houghton Regis is a town in Central Bedfordshire, joined to Dunstable on its southern side. The medieval church of All Saints stands near the green, and Houghton Hall Park lies close to the centre. The town expanded in the 1960s with the Tithe Farm and Parkside estates.
New housing at Linmere and Bidwell West is extending the town to the north. A link road opened in 2017 between the A5 and junction 11A of the M1, which removed much through traffic from the centre.
On new estates the router often sits where the fibre enters the house, in a hall cupboard or under the stairs. Rooms at the far end then get a weak signal. We check the layout and suggest a wired access point or a mesh system where one helps.
Wi-Fi and networkingSolid internal walls and a router beside the front door are a common cause of weak signal upstairs. Tell us where the router sits and which rooms lose connection. A better position sometimes fixes the problem without new equipment.
Wi-Fi and networkingWe repair machines with start-up faults, overheating, broken charging ports and failed drives. Send the make, the model and a description of the fault before you travel.
Computer and laptop repairsTest a phone or laptop beside the router, then in the problem room. Note both results. Hold off buying an extender until the cause is clear, because a badly placed extender repeats a weak signal.

Yes. Both are part of Houghton Regis. Tell us your broadband provider and where the router sits when you get in touch.
Sometimes. A mesh system helps when distance or walls weaken the signal. If the broadband line is the fault, new Wi-Fi equipment changes nothing, so we test the line first.
