Why isn’t this support covered by my ISP or equipment manufacturer?
Your internet service provider (ISP) can typically assist you if the issue is with internet connectivity to the home. However, ISP and equipment manufacturers do not provide any help with interconnectivity and interoperability between your devices at home. techiefriends does not provide internet access, but we can help support all the connected devices in your home. We can help you with device connectivity, setup, and troubleshooting, or simply learning new features and functionality.
