In case you hadn’t noticed, we spend a LOT of time online. Website updates, magazine writing, social media, the list goes on and on. That’s why we appreciate services like Best Buy Total Tech Support powered by Geek Squad.

Connecting our Holiday Gifts
Over the holidays, we made our home “Smart”. We brought in Google Home, added some smart outlets (which was super handy for the tree lights!), added a smart doorbell, two wi-fi cameras (one was a Kodak, another a Motorola set everything up via Google’s voice assistant.
I’m not saying it was hard to do, because things are pretty intuitive these days; but given that we were working with different brands, different types of equipment, and a lack of knowledge about LAN (not to mention securing all of it), it was not as fun as we had hoped and took most of two days to do properly.
This all would have been a lot easier to do (and much more enjoyable) had I known about this service from Best Buy. They would have come out to the house and installed and troubleshooted all of it for about $100.
At any rate, this is a great option for people who aren’t very tech-minded and don’t know much about home network security. If you’re thinking of setting up your smart home, car services, appliance install, and much more.
