It's no surprise that the pandemic caused a huge surge in home internet usage, with millions of Americans transitioning to remote working and learning, not to mention the increased number of people streaming shows and movies, gaming online with friends and video chatting with loved ones. Now, over two years later, it doesn't look like these new habits will be going away anytime soon -- and that means it's more important than ever to have a strong internet connection at home.
One of the best moves most households can make is to upgrade from a router to a mesh system. With multiple devices spread throughout your home, a good 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. And there are lots of new, next-gen options on the market, so it's a prime time to make the switch.
With the right system quarterbacking your connection, you could enjoy total wireless coverage and fast speeds throughout the majority of your home, if not the entirety of it. Better yet, you won't have to juggle your connection between your main network and a separate extension network like you will with a lot of stand-alone range extenders. Given that range extension is already baked into the system, the mesh router will automatically route your connection accordingly within a single, Recreators unified network.
