Tell Us What's Going On
About 5 minutes
You create an account (about a minute) and submit a ticket describing your issue. You don't need to be an expert. Just describe what's happening in plain English.
What You'll Fill Out
- Issue description: what's going on?
- Equipment info (if you know it)
- Urgency level
- Preferred schedule
What You DON'T Need to Know
- You don't need to know what a VLAN is
- You don't need to diagnose the problem
- You don't need exact equipment models
- No special technical knowledge required
Tips for a Great Ticket
- Be specific about symptoms: “WiFi drops every 30 minutes in the living room”
- Mention your goals: “I want my cameras on a separate network”
- Include equipment if you know it: “UniFi Dream Machine Pro with 3 U6-LR APs”
- Note past attempts: “I tried changing the WiFi channel but it didn't help”

What a Typical Session Looks Like
Your tech reviews your current setup through admin interfaces to understand configuration and confirm the issue.
