    Gifts for Dad – the IT Guy

    Gifts for dad can be a real challenge. Most father’s don’t really seem to want gifts and the things they do want tend to be expensive, like Corvettes or a new set of Ping golf clubs.

    However, if you listen to Bill Gates and Warren Buffet they will tell you that the only thing money can’t buy you is more time. But, money can buy you tools that save you time. The nail gun saves time. A sawzall saves time. The crescent wrench saves time.

    A properly installed Wi-Fi 6 router with remote app control also saves time. And it eliminates the need to call the internet service provider when internet service issues happen.

    In many households, dad is another word for IT guy. “Dad, the internet is not working?” “Dad, my TV is buffering.” “Dad, Fortnite won’t load and I’m supposed to be playing with my friends.” And so it goes… dad gets up from the couch and tries rebooting the cheap networking device provided by the cable provider. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t. And unless Dad is an actual IT expert he doesn’t really know. Hours later, changing device and/or router settings and a frustrating chat or call with the cable provider; hopefully the issue is resolved.

    Gift Dad a professionally installed Wi-Fi 6 router

    Instead, with a Wi-Fi 6 mesh network router installed, then dad can eliminate all those annoying steps. He can fire up the controller app and really see what is going on with the network. From the app he can do all sorts of cool things like re-optimize the network to improve performance. He can perform updates. He can create special networks to run special devices, like the new Wi-Fi enabled smoker you will get him for Christmas.

    The benefits of a Wi-Fi 6 mesh network are not limited to just helping dad enjoy relaxing time on the couch. When properly installed and optimized for the home, dad will know that powerful Wi-Fi signals get to all corners of the house. If connectivity issues do arise then dad will feel confident that the issue is not Wi-Fi coverage which means he can narrow down the problem to the device itself.

    While many father’s will not install a mesh network on their own because they are spending time on other things, he will value it because a stable home network, anchored on Wi-Fi 6 mesh technology is like a stable home foundation: everything else depends on it. Without a stable foundation, the walls will crack and eventually fall.

    So, as you contemplate gifts for father’s day, consider asking StreamWise Solutions to upgrade your home network. It will save him time and sanity.
