5 Best Gifts for Your Techy Friend
The holidays are here, and finding the perfect gift is a tough task. If you have a friend who’s super into the latest technology, or the newest gadgets, and always has to be the first to try out new tech, then you may want to consider some of these gift ideas.
- For the Internet-Obsessed: Eero
Sick of WiFi problems? Then Eero is the perfect gift. Eero is a WiFi system that uses multiple access points to provide your home with fast, reliable coverage all on a single network. Unlike the familiar router-to-range extender network configuration, Eero units function together as a self-sufficient WiFi system, all on its own. So, rather than connecting various wireless networking products to your existing router, Eero can replace all of your existing networking hardware (except for your modem).
This is a great gift because: let’s face it, everyone needs reliable internet. And there’s no bigger thorn in your side when your internet is down or not working! This clever take on the router provides both speedy and reliable WiFi, and the advanced system covers every spot of your home (backyard included) in a Wi-Fi “mesh,” with a simple plug-and-play installation. And furthermore, if something goes wrong, you won’t have to sit on the phone with tech support forever. Instead, you can troubleshoot with the Eero app!
