Top Computers & IT related questions

Computer technicians can help with a range of computer-related tasks. They can do computer and printer setup, fix broken systems, install software, run tests, and upgrade complicated network environments.

You might hire a computer technician to fix a problem with your computer hardware or software. Or perhaps get help with internet and cloud services, along with cyber security services to keep your data safe.

Your mobile computer technician can work on your IT setup at your home or office. This makes diagnosing any problems much easier because everything is set up how it normally is. But more importantly, it saves you time and effort because you don’t need to travel to a workshop.

Most computer technicians will hold a degree or diploma in IT, computer science, or computer engineering. Beyond this, their qualification will depend on which area of IT they work in and the type of technologies they use.

Some computer repairs are quicker to fix than others. For example, virus removal or installing new software may take a few minutes, whereas complex repairs on parts like your hard drive or motherboard can take days or even weeks.

On Airtasker, you can expect to pay between £45 - £120 for most computer services. Your computer technician may cost more or less depending on the complexity of the task, any parts needed, and how long it’s likely to take.

What does a computer service include?

The exact steps and inclusions in your computer service will depend on the computer and IT challenges you’re facing. In most cases, computer technicians are mobile so they can come to your home or office. They’ll work on your computer until issues are fixed and you’ve got the help you need. Here are just a few IT and computer services your technician can help with:

Computer & network setup
Book an IT service near you to come to your home or office and set up your personal computer, home network, or more complicated workplace IT environment. Ask your computer technician to help with hardware setup, which covers tasks like computer and Mac setup, printer help, and scanner setup. They can also work to install and upgrade software. Knowing that your Windows install or server upgrades have been carried out by an experienced computer technician ensures your systems run smoothly.

Computer repair
Got a computer problem like a slow machine or your computer not turning on? Computer repair technicians are experienced at fixing common complaints like these. Your computer technician will start by diagnosing the problem. Once they know what they’re dealing with, they’ll fix it right away or advise you on next steps, whether you need new parts, updated software, or a more intensive service off-site. Depending on the issue, your technician may be able to offer technical support over the phone or Skype so you can get your computer fixed sooner.

Computer training & troubleshooting
Confused by computers? You’re not alone. If you want to improve your Microsoft, Google, Skype, or email skills, book a computer training session. You’ll find plenty of friendly, patient and helpful computer technicians nearby. Let them know what programmes or internet skills you want to learn and they’ll walk you through the steps or troubleshoot the challenges you’re facing. Arrange a one-to-one lesson or book a small-class IT session for your friends and colleagues.

Internet & wifi help
When your internet and wifi stop working, your world can come to a standstill. Your computer technician will whip your connections into line so it’s business as usual. Internet help can range from connecting your devices and troubleshooting connection issues to improving internet speeds and wifi extender setup. 

Cybersecurity & antivirus
Keep your computer and IT environment safe and secure from hackers and viruses. Book a computer technician to help with firewall setup and installing antivirus software. If you get hit with malware or a virus, your technician will take virus removal steps, fix any damage caused, and ensure your device is protected from future attacks.

Set up home VPN server (GL.iNet Brume 3 / WireGuard) — SE23

£100

Forest Hill, Greater London

13th Nov 2026

One-off, in person at my house in SE23 (full address shared once booked). I'm abroad, so I'll be on a video call with you throughout. The kit (already at the house): - GL.iNet Brume 3 (MT2500) VPN router — brand new, in box - Community Fibre 1 Gbps broadband, already live, with their router/mesh and ONT The job: - Connect the Brume 3 to the Community Fibre router (Ethernet) and power it on - First-time setup of the Brume 3 with me on the video call — I set the admin and Wi-Fi passwords myself - Check whether my line is behind CGNAT or has a public IP (router WAN IP: 100.64–100.127 range = CGNAT) and tell me which - Enable the WireGuard server on the Brume 3 and GL.iNet DDNS - If public IP: set up port forwarding on the Community Fibre router (UDP 51820 to Brume 3) so the VPN is reachable from outside - Enable GoodCloud remote management on the Brume 3 and bind it to my account so I can manage it myself afterwards - Stay on the call while I connect from abroad and confirm my traffic exits via the house IP - Leave everything powered and connected, and send me a photo of the final cabling You must have: - Set up WireGuard or OpenVPN servers on routers before (GL.iNet / OpenWrt experience a plus) - A working understanding of CGNAT, DDNS and port forwarding - Your own laptop to work from Estimated 1–2 hours. A keyholder will let you in and be there for access — the technical work and decisions happen with me on video. One honesty clause: if the line turns out to be behind CGNAT with no public IP, the VPN can't be made reachable from outside on the day — you'd still be paid for the visit and the diagnosis, and we'll have established exactly what's needed next.

Eve outdoor camera, having problems conntecting to the interenet I need help to do this below How to configure the proper Wi-Fi network settings? If you experience connectivity issues with your Eve Outdoor Cam, please avoid using the 5 GHz band of your WiFi router. Instead, we recommend using the 2.4 GHz band. Wi-Fi Router Settings Make sure the 2.4 GHz band is enabled on your Wi-Fi router The DHCP function must be activated on the router Authentication via MAC addresses must be deactivated. Make sure that Bonjour and Multicast are enabled on the Wi-Fi router and additional access points. Network tools such as "Storm Control" and others, allow multicast to be restricted and therefore Bonjour. Disable this setting. So-called Powerline/PowerLAN adapters also restrict Bonjour or do not allow it. These access points are not suitable for the use of HomeKit-based Wi-Fi devices. Apple Home Hub Settings Make sure your Apple Home hub is connected to the 2.4 GHz band of your router. iPhone/iPad Settings Make sure the iPhone/iPad is connected to the 2.4 GHz band of your router.

URGENT: Fix broken Ethernet cable

£75

Oatlands, North Yorkshire

3rd Jun 2026

URGENT: Looking for a same-day visit today (Wednesday). Willing to pay a premium rate for a quick 10-minute fix to get my parents' Wi-Fi back online. NB this is a description written using Gemini's help cos I have no idea what I'm talking about. I'm trying to diagnose the problem and hire someone to help from 250 miles away. 🫠 They are super upset about having no WiFi so really appreciate your help. My mum has what looks from her blurry picture (attached) and description like a broken Cat6 Ethernet cable probably running through an internal wall that probably connects the main internet router to a mesh Wi-Fi node. The clear plastic RJ45 clip at the router end has completely sheared off, and the internal colored copper wires are frayed and exposed. This is causing the whole household Wi-Fi to drop out. ​I think you need to: - ​Cut off the top 2 inches of the damaged cable end. - ​Strip the outer jacket back cleanly. - ​Crimp/terminate a brand-new RJ45 male connector plug onto the wire. - ​Quickly plug it back into the router and ensure Deco nodes turn green. NB: If I'm wrong and this cable doesn't even go to the Decos, please just look at the setup and help my mum get the Wi-Fi back online anyway. The main goal is getting her internet working! I do know that there's internet going to the house because the (hard wired) smart TV is working. ​Requirements: You must bring your own standard network toolkit, including a data cable stripper, an RJ45 crimping tool, and a spare RJ45 connector plug (Cat6/Cat6a compatible). ​This is a very straightforward, 10-minute job for anyone with the right tools. My parents are at the property, but I am organizing and paying for this remotely via the app, so good communication via Airtasker chat is essential. Thank you!

Antony was an absolute lifesaver. I posted an urgent, same-day job to fix a damaged internet cable for my parents. Antony responded quickly, arrived on time and was a total professional. He didn't just fix the wire; he made sure the whole network was working flawlessly. My mum was absolutely singing his praises afterwards. Incredibly polite and efficient — highly recommend!
