What I See Most Often in Franklin
Every town has its own quirks. Here's the stuff I get called about most around Franklin:
Wi-Fi that won't reach the whole house
Whether it's a Brady Lake cottage or a two-story near Kent, I find the dead spots and fix them — router placement, a mesh unit, or a fresh setup from your provider.
Spectrum keeps dropping out
Spectrum is the common cable line around Kent and Franklin. Sometimes it's the modem, sometimes placement. Usually a quick visit sorts it.
Help for a parent near Kent State
Adult kids call me to get a parent set up — video calls, photos, a tablet that makes sense. I visit them in their home and email you a plain-English recap.
Scam-call and pop-up check
Got a scary call or a locked-up 'virus' pop-up? I'll check it, clear it, and show you what's safe to click.

Common Questions from Franklin Customers
How much will it cost?
$99 flat for most in-home visits. If a job needs parts (mesh node, new router, etc.) I'll quote them up front and you can say yes or no. No hidden fees, no minute-by-minute charges. Prefer to start on the phone? A remote screen-share session is a flat $49.
How fast can you get to my house in Franklin?
Usually within 24–48 hours — same-day sometimes possible. I'm a short drive from Franklin over in Atwater and in the Kent area most weeks.
Do you work with seniors? My parent is in their 80s.
Yes — that's most of what I do. I'm patient, I speak plain English, and I never make anyone feel rushed or dumb. I'll also write down the steps so you don't have to remember them. More on senior tech help →
Are you insured?
Yes — Bill's Home Tech is fully insured ($1M). I work in a lot of homes and businesses around the area and that matters to people. I'm happy to send proof of insurance if you ask.
Can my adult kids (wherever they live) pay for the visit?
Yes — this happens a lot. Kids who live out of state want to help their parent in Franklin but can't drive up themselves. They call me, I visit the parent, and they pay over the phone after. Set that up here →
