Home office, TV and AV setup in Adelaide

The gear is rarely the problem. It is the seventeen cables, the dock that only drives one monitor, the printer that works from the laptop but not the phone, and the soundbar that the TV remote refuses to control.

I set the whole thing up as one system rather than a pile of separate boxes — so the second screen comes on when you plug in, the printer is reachable from every device in the house, and one remote does what you expect.

Sound familiar?

These are the ones I get called about most. If yours is not listed, it is still worth asking.

  • A docking station that will not drive two monitors
  • A printer that works from one device and nothing else
  • A new TV that needs mounting, tuning and apps signed in
  • A soundbar the TV remote will not control
  • Streaming that buffers on the TV but is fine on the laptop
  • A working-from-home desk that needs to be set up once, properly
  • Cables everywhere and no idea which ones matter

Home Office, TV & AV Setup — common questions

Do you mount TVs on the wall?

Yes, including getting the height right, hiding the cabling where the wall allows it, and setting the picture up properly afterwards. Most TVs leave the factory in a showroom mode that looks terrible in a real lounge room, and that is a five-minute fix people never get told about.

Can you make working from home actually comfortable?

That is a lot of what this is. Monitor height and position, a dock that carries power and displays over one cable, a headset that works with your meeting software, and a printer that just answers. It is worth doing once rather than tolerating for a year.

My streaming buffers on the TV but not my laptop. Why?

Usually Wi-Fi rather than the TV. Televisions often have weaker aerials than a laptop and sit further from the router, behind furniture. That is fixable, and it overlaps with the Wi-Fi work — I will look at both while I am there.
