I’m so<\/em>\u00a0pumped about this post because it touches on solving a problem we’ve had since the day we moved into this home. \u00a0Our internet has always been unreliable and weak. \u00a0We couldn’t connect to wifi the further we were in our home\u00a0from the router and connections would still be shaky even nearby the router. \u00a0Especially working from home, this was a major pain\u00a0that I put up with for way too long and really shouldn’t have. \u00a0I blamed the cable company and thought that this crappy internet was just our situation that we couldn’t do anything about. \u00a0Then we\u00a0replaced the router with the Google Wifi system<\/a><\/strong> and it was evident: our old router was the problem!!<\/p>\n

I had no idea that upgrading to a wifi system would make our internet faster and allow us to finally have coverage in places like our bedroom, which was previously an annoying wifi dead zone. \u00a0Google Wifi<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is practically a miracle in our home,\u00a0and even better\u00a0is that\u00a0I don’t have to hide it because it’s\u00a0gorgeous and\u00a0minimal and everything I’d actually want to display. \u00a0Remember how I’d talk about the sweet spot\u00a0of function and design combining\u00a0perfectly? \u00a0This is another one of those moments.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The main wifi point\u00a0is in our living room, which replaced our old router. \u00a0This alone\u00a0made a big difference in improving connectivity across multiple devices, \u00a0but we added another wifi point in the bedroom since this was previously the most problematic area.<\/p>\n

I sometimes have to do work in here and it was a pain to have to leave the room throughout a\u00a0shoot to connect to internet, or even to stream music on wifi so that I didn’t have to use\u00a0up data. \u00a0Plus, we’re regular people who like to watch videos in bed and again, not have to use up data! \u00a0It’s been a small but significant life improvement, the peace of mind from knowing we don’t have to avoid any spot in our home for anything that needs Wi-Fi\u00a0connection.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The system comes with three points, but we only needed to set up two to cover our entire home. Bonus points for how\u00a0easy it was to set up and how the whole system can be controlled with the Google Wifi app. \u00a0I’m not tech-savvy at all\u00a0and am always intimidated by\u00a0adding new technology to our home, to the point where sometimes I won’t even consider it, but this was painless and I’d do it all over again.<\/p>\n

It’s been a huge relief to finally have the freedom to work (or watch Youtube videos) from anywhere in our home without the bummer of figuring out where to hide the Wifi points since\u00a0they’re pretty enough to be left in plain sight. \u00a0I definitely consider design\u00a0a key contributor\u00a0to the painless setup\u00a0of new devices, and it’s something I never overlook. \u00a0If you experience the same problems I had and need solid internet as a fellow work-from-home person or just want more out of your wifi, you must check out Google Wifi! \u00a0It is for sure one of the best improvements we’ve made to our home and I hope it can be for you, too. \u00a0Learn more HERE<\/a><\/strong> or on the Google Wifi support page<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
