Working from home? Your bed-to-desk commute might only be 3 seconds, but the days become longer when your internet isn't up to speed. Fortunately, we've put together these 4 tips to boost your Wi-Fi signal.

Get a quality router
The bread-and-butter of speedy surfing. Tired of battling Wi-Fi dead zones and sluggish browsing? The TP-Link VDSL/ADSL AC1200 Modem Router has all the bells and whistles to obliterate slow speeds. Check availability.
‣ Why we're fans: Two radio frequencies means you'll be able to bypass any signal congestion on your network. The AC1200 has 4 antennas, giving you 10 times faster signal than conventional Fast Ethernet.
‣ When it'll save the day: With turbo technology, wave goodbye to slow internet browsing. Plus, you can connect to all smart home appliances without introducing any lag, making the most of your internet service.

Install a Wi-Fi extender
Need Wi-Fi like you need air? The N300 Wi-Fi extender offers a much-needed performance boost. Check availability.
‣ Why we're fans: As well as extending network range, it's a Wi-Fi access point for your wired network plus a router for your existing modem. You'll love the signal strength, and the integrated status LEDs make it super simple to see what's going on with your network.
‣ When it'll save the day: Family members hogging the best Wi-Fi spots in the house? This extender eliminates Wi-Fi dead zones to give everyone great Wi-Fi coverage.

Set up a mesh network
Get dependable internet right where you need it with the AC1200 Base and Satellite kit. Check availability.
‣ Why we're fans: For streamlined connections, simple network management and top-notch security, a mesh network is an overachiever. Get coverage up to 260 square metres (or more with additional satellite modules).
‣ When it'll save the day: No matter where you are at home, your devices will piggyback on to the best possible connection available.

Get a dedicated Wi-Fi dongle
"Want to supercharge your laptop reception, or get crystal clear connection to a desktop computer without a built-in Wi-Fi adaptor?" A compact, pocket-friendly device such as the Compact USB Dual Band Wi-Fi Dongle is essential. It's also a cost-effective way of getting older gear online, especially if it doesn't have dual-band reception. Check availability.
‣ Why we're fans: Windows and Mac compatible, dual band connection will give you efficient, steady access to just about any Wi-Fi signal.
‣ When it'll save the day: Want to work on your balcony or in your backyard? A reliable connection is a must-have. In your home office, it's a quick fix for when your internet is lagging. No wires, no connections – no worries.
