We live in a hyperconnected world - whether on the go, traveling to the latest destination on your tick list, or leveraging all your vacation home has to offer. Ensuring you are optimizing your experiences on the go and at home starts by revamping your connected environment – but knowing where to start can be tricky.
There are, however, a few common questions to ask yourself as you evaluate when to update your connected lifestyle. For example, are you hosting parties that involve streaming a big sporting event or an awards show? Are you worried about personal cybersecurity with all the accounts you set up for yourself or your family? Are you looking for ways to promote more quality time with your loved ones? If these situations apply to you, NETGEAR, the leader in WiFi connectivity, can help you elevate any moment that requires a stronger internet connection.
First-class WiFi at home
Streaming events have become a popular pastime, with Netflix and other services creating must-see moments during the stream-first era we now live in. Ensuring that you have a reliable WiFi connection for these events is critical – especially if you’re hosting a watch party for the Big Game or popular shows like The Bachelor. The ultimate, seamless experience requires a top-notch WiFi network to make sure you get every bit of internet speed you’re paying for – and in every corner of the house.
That’s where NETGEAR’s advanced home WiFi routers and mesh systems come in, helping you create a well-connected home environment conducive to both relaxation and productivity. For the largest, most advanced smart homes, the new Orbi 970 Series mesh system (3-pack) provides blazing-fast WiFi, covers up to 10,000 square feet, and supports up to 200 connected devices. Need more coverage? Add a satellite to quickly and easily increase your range by up to 3,300 square feet.
For the getaway cabin or vacation cottage, NETGEAR’sNighthawk RS700 router also delivers ultra-fast, lag-free connectivity all in one slender chassis that gives you 360 degrees of coverage for up to 200 devices simultaneously. With these systems, properties of any size are covered with fast, high-performing WiFi – from the garage to the basement to the pool area and all across the home.
Protect your family, your life, identity, and data with the latest security
It is no secret that data threats are increasingly common, which means securing your personal information should be a top priority every day.
Whether you’re at home or traveling, getting something like your bank information stolen is the last thing you want to happen. That’s why you should never connect to public networks - like airports or coffee shops. Alternatively, devices such as NETGEAR’s mobile hotspots ensure you have access to a secure and private network whether you’re down the street from your house or across the continent. The hotspot comes with a built-in firewall to add an extra layer of digital protection no matter where you go while allowing you to avoid public networks altogether.
At home, a secure router can be the first line of defense against bad actors who attempt to gain access to your personal possessions or digital identity. In fact, most home security systems today are connected to the internet and WiFi. NETGEAR’s home routers come equipped with NETGEAR Armor powered by Bitdefender software which provides an automatic shield of security for your WiFi and connected devices (PC, phone, security camera, baby monitor, TV, etc.).
Develop good online habits for the whole family
Integrating smart parental controls can play a pivotal role in fostering healthy online habits in your home. A large majority of kids now spend hours on end mindlessly doom scrolling on social media or participating in hours-long gaming tournaments. By integrating smart parental controls via your home router system, you can regulate individual internet time and establish healthy online habits within your household so kids know when it’s time to unplug. With tools like NETGEAR’s Smart Parental Controls, families can easily pause the internet when it's time for dinner, studying, or family time. You can also create custom profiles for each family member and manage online time by individual. Built into select NETGEAR WiFi routers and systems, Smart Parental Controls will empower you to manage internet access, ensuring a balanced approach to screen time for family members.
The era of elevated connections
Staying connected wherever you are is the ultimate luxury that technology provides - and these steps are just a few you can take to ensure you have peace of mind and the best experience possible for you and your loved ones.
Embracing the latest WiFi technologies from NETGEAR enables seamless device compatibility and robust network coverage, ensuring your digital experiences in 2024 are faster, safer, and more interconnected than ever before.
