02

Numbered steps, real screenshots, no jargon. Written by people who've watched a hundred users get stuck on the same button.

FAQ

Questions we hear most weeks

Are the guides really free?

Yes — every service page and blog post is 100% free. No email wall, no locked sections. Paid consultations are optional and exist only for people who'd rather have a human walk them through it live.

How does a 1-on-1 consultation work?

You book a 30-minute Google Meet slot, we screen-share, and you watch us fix the issue on your machine. We never ask for your passwords — you always type those yourself. Sessions start at $29 flat, quoted before you book.

What if you can't solve my problem?

If we can't fix it during the session and can't point you to the specific person or service that can, you don't pay. That's happened to us four times in three years, and we honored it each time.

Do you make money from product recommendations?

Yes. Some links in our articles are affiliate links, meaning we earn a small commission if you buy through them — at no extra cost to you. We only recommend products we've personally tested. See our full affiliate disclosure.

Which platforms and devices do you cover?

Windows 10/11, macOS, iOS, Android, ChromeOS, most consumer routers (TP-Link, Netgear, Asus, Eero, Google Nest), Alexa & Google Home ecosystems, and the major AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity).

Can I request a guide on a specific problem?

Absolutely. Email hello@dobresolutions.com with the issue you're wrestling with. If we've helped five other people with the same thing, it's probably next on the calendar.

Still stuck? Let a human take a look.
