About Tring

Tring is a market town in the Dacorum district of Hertfordshire, in a gap through the Chiltern Hills. The Natural History Museum at Tring began as the private collection of Walter Rothschild and opened to the public in 1892. The four Tring Reservoirs, built to feed the Grand Union Canal, lie north of the town.

Tring station is on the West Coast Main Line, well outside the town on the road to Aldbury. The High Street and Akeman Street hold most of the shops. Smaller firms occupy units on Icknield Way and around Brook Street.

What we do for customers in Tring

Video calls without the freezing

A frozen call has three usual causes: weak Wi-Fi at the desk, a busy broadband line or a struggling computer. We work out which one applies before anything is replaced. Note the times the calls fail and which devices are affected.

Wi-Fi and networking

Laptop repairs for commuters

The station is some distance from the town, so a laptop often travels by car, train and bag in one day. We repair damaged hinges, charging ports and screens, and replace worn batteries.

Computer and laptop repairs

Websites for independent traders

We build short websites for shops and trades on the High Street and beyond. Each one states what you do, where you work and how to reach you.

Web design and development

A common problem: calls freeze at busy times of day

Write down the time of day, the devices affected and whether a wired connection behaves differently. Tell us the router model and how the desk connects. A pattern by time of day points to the line, and a pattern by room points to the Wi-Fi.

Questions from Tring

Ask us

Tring is in Hertfordshire. Do you still cover the town?

Yes. Tring is south of Leighton Buzzard on the B488. County boundaries make no difference to our service area.

Will faster broadband fix my video calls?

Only if the line is the cause. Weak Wi-Fi or an overloaded laptop produces the same symptoms, and a faster package fixes neither. We test before you spend money.
