For those affected by last night's internet outage:

The connection went down last night for numerous people in Hervey Bay and surrounding areas. It's since been restored and is working like normal again.

However, some people may still be experiencing issues with their connection, so here's a few quick steps to try to get your network back up and running:

If you're on Fibre to the Premises (FTTP):
Step 1: Unplug the power cable from the router
Step 2: Turn the NBN box off at the wall and unplug it from the wall
Step 3: Wait 60 seconds and then plug it back into the wall and switch the power back on
Step 4: Plug the power cable back into your router

If you're not on FTTP:
Step 1: Unplug the power cable from your modem/router
Step 2: Wait 60 seconds and then plug it back in

Extra tip:
Make sure all cables are correctly in their ports by giving them a gentle push back in (you can unplug and replug them if you choose).

Your network should take around 5 minutes total to come back online fully, but it can sometimes take up to 10 minutes.

If that doesn't work, try the same steps again, but leave the router and NBN box (or just modem/router if you're not on FTTP) off and completely unpowered for at least 5 minutes and then plug them back in again (if you're on FTTP make sure you power the NBN box on first, then the router).

Again, give that 5 to 10 minutes after powering back on for your network to come fully online again.

If none of that works, contact your internet provider (i.e. Telstra, Aussie Broadband, Superloop, Mate, etc.) and explain to them what's happened, what you've tried, and that you still don't have an internet connection and they can walk you through further steps or try things on their end.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out, and if this has affected other devices of yours, let us know and we can help you out 🙂👍

🎉🔥Another success with Setup Mate! What did Wayne have to say? 👇

Wayne's review:
"After three days of trial and error, Ayden arrived promptly and fixed the issue within the hour. Couldn’t be happier, great professional service. Wayne."

Thanks for your patronage and the kind words Wayne! 😊

After trying to get his printer functioning the right way for 3 days and contacting multiple other businesses who wouldn't touch it, Wayne stumbled upon us.

We came around, figured out the problem, and had it back up and running for him within the hour, going deep into the printer settings on both the web interface and the printer itself.

Months of getting by in spite of the issue, 3 days of struggle, all solved in an hour.

If you're having problems with your printer (or any other tech!) and just want it working again, we can help! Send us a message or call today on 0477 776 621

Ecovacs robot vacuum installation and set up in River Heads with a 2-day turnaround 🤖

Recently we installed and set up, including the phone software config and account recovery, an Ecovacs Deebot robot vacuum for a client based in River Heads.

You may not know yet because it's still new, but Setup Mate now offers a 14-day guarantee, which for device installations means if anything goes wrong in the first 14 days, we'll come back and fix it for free - which is exactly what we did for this client after discovering a bug with the software that caused its settings to revert 👍

After trying to help over the phone, we organised a time to head back out and fixed it by adjusting settings, manually inputting no-go-zones and other map features, and setting a custom clean mode that can't revert back 💪

If you have any home or personal tech you need installed and set up, flick us a DM! 📲💬

We service the entire Hervey Bay region, including Urangan, Torquay, Wondunna, Scarness, Kawungan, Pialba, Urraween, Point Vernon, and Eli Waters, as well as the further reaching parts like Booral, River Heads, Dundowran Beach, Craignish, Toogoom, and Burrum Heads. We also service Howard, Torbanlea, and Maryborough, along with everything geographically in between 🗺️📍

If you’ve been thinking about getting a custom PC built, here’s 3 reasons to go with Setup Mate:

1. We don’t just build your PC. We design it, customised to your needs and what you’ll do with it, then we source the parts, running our compatibility checks as we go, then we purchase and handle the shipping on your behalf, build the PC, deliver it to you, install it in your space, and test it with you ‍🥳

2. You don’t need to know anything technical about it, just tell us what you’ll use it for and we’ll figure out the rest (we’ll ask some questions to make sure we get it right!) ✅

3. We’re local and specialised, so everything gets done right here in the bay, by specialists who come to you, with quick turnarounds. We take a genuine interest in your build and treat it with care, making sure you get what’s right for you and that it just works 📍👍

Bonus 1: If there’s any issues that fall under warranty, we can handle the claims for you 🔥

Bonus 2: We build our PCs to last as long as possible, using only brand new parts sourced from trusted suppliers 🎉

Bonus 3: We include a FREE, fully licensed copy of Windows 11 Home with every PC we build, fully installed and configured so you can hit the ground running and don’t have to worry about hidden costs 🔥🔥🔥

Guarantee: With our 14 day guarantee, if something goes wrong in the first 14 days, let us know and we’ll come back out to fix it, free of charge 👨‍💻

So basically, you tell us what you want the PC for, we’ll work our magic and make it happen, and when we bring it to you everything will just work, plus it’s built to last. Then, if anything goes wrong, we’ve got you covered.

That’s the Setup Mate Difference - we don’t just build PCs, we handle the entire process for you.

Keen for a new PC?

Happy days for Justin! What did he have to say? 👇

From Justin:
"I cannot thank Ayden enough for his fast reply to my inquiry, for turning up at my home at the time arranged and for working with me to achieve the outcome I needed.
Calmly and patiently not only did he teach me how to use the ipad device to do what I wanted but had listened to what I needed and then worked out a pathway forwards using a couple of different apps/ programs to get the results. To top things off he contacted me a couple of days later following up to make sure everything was working ok.
Great service from a nice polite and engaging young guy.
Thanks Ayden."

Thanks for the awesome words Justin!

Justin told us what he wanted and we helped develop a workflow for his business using his iPad, his computer, and some software.
