What if we told you that you can spend $50 to practically guarantee that the internet on your home computer never slows down again? We say “practically” because there’s no way to control issues with your ISP, but most brief slow-downs are actually do to issues with your home Wi-Fi. A wired internet connection will always be consistently faster and more reliable than a wireless connection, but most people don’t have Ethernet ports in their homes. That’s where the TP-Link AV1000 Gigabit Powerline Ethernet Adapter comes in. Plug one box into any power outlet near your router and the second box near your computer. Presto — you’ve got a blazing-fast gigabit internet connection!
