Home Network Security Checkup
A friendly, in-home checkup of your Wi-Fi, router, and smart devices. I find the easy ways a scammer or snoop could get into your home network — and I fix them on the spot, explained in plain English with no jargon.
Your home runs on Wi-Fi now — the TV, the doorbell camera, the thermostat, maybe a smart speaker, plus every phone and laptop in the house. Most of it was set up once and never touched again, often with the password that came in the box. That's exactly what scammers count on. I come to your home, check the things that actually matter, and fix the weak spots while I'm there. No pressure, no upsell, no scare tactics — just a safer home network and a one-page summary you can keep.
What I check
Honest about what this is: This is a home checkup — I make your everyday devices and Wi-Fi safer against common threats. It isn't a deep business-grade security test, and no checkup can promise you'll never be targeted. What I can promise is that I'll close the easy doors, explain everything in plain English, and never sell you something you don't need.
One simple price
Flat fee for the visit, including the fixes I can make on the spot. No hourly surprises.

Common questions
Do you come to my house?
Yes. This is an in-home visit across Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church, and McLean. I do the checks and fixes right there so you don't have to unplug anything or drop equipment off.
I'm not techy at all. Is that a problem?
Not at all — that's exactly who this is for. I explain everything in plain English, show you what I'm doing if you'd like, and leave you a simple one-page summary. No jargon, no quizzes.
Will you need my passwords?
I'll need to get into your router to check and fix its settings, and you're welcome to type the passwords yourself or watch over my shoulder the whole time. I'll also help you set new, strong ones and write them down somewhere safe for you.
Is this going to turn into a big sales pitch?
No. The price is flat, the fixes I can do on the spot are included, and if something bigger needs replacing (like a very old router) I'll tell you honestly and let you decide — no pressure, ever.
Can my adult kids set this up for me?
Absolutely — lots of folks book this for a parent. I'm happy to do a quick call afterward to walk a family member through what I found, with your okay.
How long does it take?
Usually 60–90 minutes for a typical home. If you've got a lot of smart devices it may run a little longer, and I'll let you know before any extra time.
Whose network can you check?
Only one you own or are responsible for — your own home. With your okay, I'll look at your router and the devices on your Wi-Fi to make sure they're set up safely. I never touch a neighbor's network or anything that isn't yours.
