I had a unique situation. I live in a brownstone where I had a terrible internet service by Spectrum as there was no FiOS option. I convinced Crown Castle to trench in a private fiber line directly into my house. Fantastic, right? Not so fast. Despite the lightning fast fiber line, I was hamstrung by WiFi in my 5+ story house. I purchased to try Orbi 7 - the latest Wifi 7 mesh system. But i just wasn't getting consistently fast signal, not to mention that the network router would drop out every other time during the day. Enter Shawn. I was frankly skeptical that he could do much. But he took fastidious account and notes on where all the access points are, and devised to create an optimal network system in my house. I purchased a Ubiquiti system at his recommendation. Installing in my house is NOT for the faint of heart. The previous owner had an elderly Russian man - though he may have been a wiz in IT - who made unlabeled rat's nest with all the wires. Shawn came and step by step undid most of the harm by the previous guy, then meticulously installed the system. After which he stayed to battle test the signals etc. All told, he must have taken well nigh 20 hours at my house. But by golly, he figured it out. Delivered an elegant solution and we now have the fiber speed through the house. Shawn is young but don't underestimate him based on age. He is a consummate professional and a problem-solver: calm, reflective, measured, and most importantly, outcome-driven. His positive demeanor and gentle sense of humor also defused any situation that could have turned stressful. He is the real deal in providing IT solutions for the most complicated issues. I'm already planning other projects - don't hesitate to give him a call.

The job/project of data recovery was complicated and stressful but Shawn was very professional. I used other services and resources and they did ask the question that made all the difference. I liked the in home service. I recommend MacGyver NYC.

I needed a combo network solution at my house which included wired and WiFi coverage. Shawn asked for info and photos prior to arrival and was well prepared when he started. He solved my immediate need and we discussed future opps for improvement. I will definitely use Shawn again!!

MacGyver is a total pro. Made things easy for me to understand & I’m not at all tech savvy. He was patient with me which I really appreciated. The whole experience was pleasant and productive. I will use him regularly and HIGHLY recommend him. A+ service 👍
