But setting up a router is just...... clicking through an easy to understand GUI... Nice of you to offer though!

Yeah thats why theyre not doing so hot. I told them that it was hurting business charging so much for services, oh well i dont work there anymore.

Does this include setting up static ip's or port fowarding something beside running the setup wizard? maybe that would justify the cost....

even that isn't that hard.
 
It is pretty much robbery..just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you should.

Geek squad employees are kind of gimped they cant even run simple tools like ccleaner, because its not an approved inhouse software.  

They obviously are pushing "approved" things since they constantly shove Kaspersky down my throat even
when I tell them I despise it.
 
I never take their help..*shrug* Then again, I don't really need it
 

Geek Squad is a joke. You don't even have to be A+ Certified to work for them. 

Fry's charges $99 for wireless home installation. A bit worse than Geek Squad.
 
They also have some interesting prices for computer services. They charge $70 for computer diagnostics (yes you heard right, JUST the diagnostics). $99 for OS installation on your computer, $45 to install a hard drive/SSD, $70 to take out a motherboard and replace with another one... $15 to install a fan... it goes on and on, you get the idea
 
Basically, if you don't have a clue how something is done and you want someone else to do it for you, chances are you're gonna open up your wallet and bend over

Oh and additional device is $79!!!!!!!! I don't know how a place can get by with this stuff. Its robbery.

haha just went upto best buy and looked at their HDMI cables. 120 dollars for a 5 dollar cable is pretty ridiculous. I did get a decent deal on a 4K TV though.

That's nothing audio quest has a hdmi for 1k. I work in the home theater/ home automation field and they sell cables well over 1k for 2ch audio setups.

Yeah, I saw that crazy stuff too in their magnolia center.

A+ Certified is a joke as well. I could care less if any tech is A+ Certified.
PS I was a tech for 25 Year and never had one.
Of teammates that were A+ Certified where only on paper, they had zero common since when it came to working on a computer problem. Whether Hardware or Software, yes they were book smart but that was it.
