Small business tech checklist

Check the office setup before the next problem.

Work through the statements below and tick the ones you can confirm. Leave anything untested or unreliable unchecked, then use those gaps to prepare a repair request or checkup.

Wi‑Fi and network reliability

  • Work areas, registers, cameras, and office computers stay connected during normal business hours.
  • Router, modem, mesh, access points, switches, and ISP handoff are easy to identify.
  • Weak rooms, dead zones, or slow spots are documented before buying more hardware.
  • Important network gear is not hidden in a hot closet, tangled cabinet, or mystery power strip.

Printers, scanners, and workflow

  • Staff can print and scan from the devices they actually use.
  • Printer queues, drivers, scan apps, and replacement warnings are not recurring surprises.
  • Someone knows what changed when a router, computer, or printer was replaced.
  • Business-critical printer/scanner issues have a backup plan or clear replacement path.

Cameras and smart/security devices

  • Camera app access, recording, playback, and remote viewing are tested before an incident.
  • Wi‑Fi cameras have stable coverage and power where they are installed.
  • Mounting, wiring, ladders, storage, and recorder work are quoted before they begin.
  • Private footage, credentials, and access codes are not sent by text, email, or form.

Computers, popups, and support risk

  • Slow computers, fake virus alerts, and suspicious remote tools are checked calmly before clicking.
  • Important business files and account access are not exposed during basic troubleshooting.
  • Recurring workstation issues are tracked instead of re-explained from scratch every visit.
  • Risky repair steps are approved by the owner or authorized staff before anything disruptive happens.

When to consider follow-up

  • The same Wi‑Fi, printer, camera, or computer problem has happened more than once.
  • A tech problem interrupts customers, appointments, billing, staff, or normal business hours.
  • There is a network cabinet, camera system, printer workflow, or office setup nobody has documented.
  • You would benefit from reports, quotes, service history, and a reliable local support contact.

Do not solve it this way

  • Keep sensitive account, payment, customer-record, camera, and private-file details out of requests.
  • Approve remote access or monitoring only with written scope and an uninstall path.
  • Do not buy hardware just because a device is annoying; confirm the bottleneck first.
  • Do not expect open-ended emergency labor unless it is written into a separate agreement.

Fast callback

Found an issue? Request a callback.

Send your business type, ZIP code, biggest recurring issue, and preferred callback time. Tech Genie will recommend the right next step.

Keep it short: problem, ZIP, timing, and best callback number.

Share the symptom, device, room, timing, and urgency. Do not send passwords, Wi‑Fi keys, recovery/2FA codes, payment details, private files, or camera footage.

The secure anti-spam check loads only when you start using this form.

What to do next

Choose what to address first.

Start with problems that stop work or put files at risk. Note the device, when the issue occurs and what has already been tried; the rest can be discussed during the visit.

One isolated problem

Book the closest service category or send a focused request. A one-time visit may be enough.

Several unresolved issues

A checkup can help sort the issues by urgency and identify work that needs a separate estimate.

Book checkup

If this keeps happening

Review the service history and discuss scheduled follow-up if repeated interruptions justify it.
