Stuck with that annoying work-from-home coworker? 😉

Get a WiFi Range Extender 

A Range Extender, WiFi Booster or WiFi Extender is a device that repeats the wireless signal from your router to expand its coverage. It functions as a bridge, capturing the WiFi from your router and rebroadcasting it to areas where the WiFi is weak or nonexistent, improving the performance of your home Wifi and giving you a quiter space to work from! <3

 

 

Virtual Private Network

VPN, or Virtual Private Network, allows you to create a secure connection to another network over the Internet. VPNs can be used to access access your corporate network securely, shield your browsing activity from prying eyes on public Wi-Fi, and more. Most operating systems have integrated VPN support.
With the business environment already impacted the last thing you need is to have your network compromised.

 

SPEAKERS OR HEADPHONES

 

Dialing into an audio conference? Already connected on your smartphone? Simply pair Connect via either Bluetooth or Near Field Communication to enjoy outstanding audio clarity, volume, and dynamic range. Connect features two omnidirectional microphones and 360° wideband audio so everyone can hear and be heard.

 

Alternatively if without speakers, a great pair of headphones will enable you to experience clear internet calls with simple plug-and-play USB-A connection and a noise-canceling mic. Some model of headphones have in-line controls and let you control volume or mute without interrupting calls.
