As much as some people might hate to admit it, slow home internet service isn’t always your ISP’s fault. In fact, your internet service provider probably supplies you with much faster download and upload speeds than you’re actually taking advantage of. What’s the problem? Some people insist on using cheap Wi-Fi routers — or, even worse, they use the built-in Wi-Fi on their cable company’s router — that can’t keep up with fast internet speeds.
Lucky for you if you fall into this category, Amazon has a big sale going on right now on two devices that will combine to give you the ultimate home wireless network. Check out the NETGEAR Nighthawk X4 Ultimate Gaming Router and NETGEAR Nighthawk X4 AC2200 WiFi Range Extender, which are both being discounted from now through the end of the day on October 7. Oh, and we’ve got a little bonus for you if you REALLY want to speed things up.
