Today, the average household has 17 connected devices. Before you start counting how many you have, think of all the devices that are connected to your home wifi – smartphones, smart TVs, tablets, gaming systems, robotic vacuum cleaners, your teenager’s earbuds and headphones, work and school laptops, and all the smart home devices that make your life easier.
Our dependence on wifi has skyrocketed, but what happens when you’re experiencing buffering during streaming binges, dropped video calls with coworkers, or sluggish browsing when you’re trying to order groceries online or find that perfect birthday gift for a loved one?
While you’re busy spring cleaning, don’t just dust off that wifi modem in the corner. Give it and the other equipment in your house a good technology checkup.
Update your wifi equipment
Imagine you’re in the middle of a crucial virtual meeting, and suddenly, your internet connection drops. If this sounds familiar, your outdated wifi equipment might be to blame. That trusty old router you’ve had for years could be struggling to keep up with the demands of your modern digital lifestyle and all the wifi-connected devices running simultaneously in your home – including the latest smartphones.
By upgrading your equipment, you’re not just getting faster speeds, though that’s a big plus. You’re also strengthening your home’s security against cyber threats, ensuring compatibility with the latest devices, and enjoying more stable connections so that you have uninterrupted streaming, virtual meetings, gaming, and browsing.
Clean your house of dead zones with extender pods
Tired of waiting for web pages to load? Dealing with dead zones in your home where wifi signals don’t seem to reach? Slow speeds, weak connections, and compatibility issues are all signs that your wifi equipment may need some TLC.
Cox Panoramic Wifi helps you say goodbye to wifi dead zones and hello to seamless coverage throughout your home with wifi extender pods. These handy devices use cutting-edge mesh networking technology to help you extend your wifi signal to every corner of your house – even your backyard so you can easily stream a movie or music for that weekend barbecue or outdoor movie night.
