- Free diagnosis

- On-site, remote or drop-off
Warners Bay sits at the northern end of Lake Macquarie, with homes spread back from the foreshore. It's a place where plenty of people work from home, run a small business from a spare room, or have retired and want their computer to behave without a fuss.
Steven Galvin of Galvo's IT Solutions is a one-man IT business based in Nulkaba, next to Cessnock. Warners Bay is further from his base than the Hunter Valley towns, so here is how it works: most software problems are fixed remotely, home visits are booked ahead, and you can drop a computer off if that is easier. Diagnosis is free and the price is clear before any work begins.
Lakeside homes, home offices and Wi-Fi
Warners Bay is in the City of Lake Macquarie, at the top of the lake where it narrows towards the northern suburbs. Some homes are built on a slope to catch the view of the water, which can mean split levels, long hallways and living areas at the back facing the water.
That layout is hard on Wi-Fi. The modem usually ends up wherever the internet connection comes into the house, often at the front, while people want to work, stream and video call from the back deck or a downstairs room. Typical needs are getting a usable signal across every level, adding mesh Wi-Fi or a cabled access point, and making sure the modem itself is set up properly before buying anything new.
Home offices are the other big one. Hybrid workers need a stable connection for calls, a laptop that keeps up, a second screen and a backup for the files that matter. Much of the software side, from email to updates to a laptop that has slowed down, can be sorted remotely in the evening after work.
Retirees around the bay often want something simpler: a new computer set up and explained, photos kept safe, and a second opinion when an email or phone call looks like a scam. Steven is happy to go at your pace and explain things in plain English.

IT help in Warners Bay: common questions
Our house is on a slope and the Wi-Fi doesn't reach the back deck. Can you fix it?
Usually, yes. The answer depends on where the internet comes into the house, the levels and walls in between, and the equipment you already have. Steven looks at it on a booked visit, explains the options plainly and gives you a price before anything is bought or installed.
Do you have to come out for every job?
No. Most software problems, such as email, updates, slow laptops and scam clean-ups, are fixed remotely while you watch. Visits are booked ahead for jobs that need hands on the equipment, and you can drop a computer off in Nulkaba if that suits you better.
What happens if the problem comes back?
Talk to Steven. Tayla Parker's Google review mentions "his policy to come back if the issue returns", and he would rather fix something properly than see you twice for the same fault.
When can you help?
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 8am to 8pm, and Thursday from 8am to 3pm. Weekends are closed. Call 0413 604 477 to book a remote session or a visit.
