The pandemic kicked off a massive surge in home internet usage, and it doesn't look like it'll be coming down anytime soon. Between working from home, gaming online, video chatting and streaming shows and movies, it's more important than ever to have a fast and reliable internet connection. That might have you looking for a home networking upgrade -- and routing one of the best ways to improve the quality of your home's connection is by upgrading to a mesh router.
With multiple devices spread throughout your home, a mesh router is like a team of routers that can relay your wireless traffic back to the modem better than a traditional router, especially when you're connecting at range. They're especially good fits for large or multi-story homes where your Wi-Fi network has a lot of ground that it needs to cover, but they can help boost speeds at range in small- or medium-sized homes, too. And there are lots of new, next-gen options on the market, so it's a good time to make the switch.
