At Soteria Cloud, while safe and secure online back-ups are our main focus, we also like to keep ahead of latest tech advancements and new Wi-Fi or router technology / features have recently caught our eye. An all new type of router to hit the market is able to stream and share in ways that you would never have dreamed possible with your old device.
Touch of a button no more…
Now, we have seen and investigated a lot of different router options. A reliable router is certainly required if you are going to be working in the cloud or doing cloud backups. Signal strength, speed, and reliability are essential attributes of a reliable router.
One of the most interesting new router features that we have seen on the market is the “wave control” function, which allows you to adjust your Wi-Fi speed with, yes – you guessed it, a wave of your hand. While this is convenient and a simple way to control your internet speed, it also presents a great way to control how much bandwidth can be used in each room. You can have the fastest speed set to the room you use the most – now that’s technological genius!
A router of this type is a sound investment for any smart home and can add convenience and value to your automated and tech-forward lifestyle. While those converting their homes to “smart homes” have been able to adjust the blinds and lighting, unlock doors, set and monitor the alarm system and even monitor energy consumption, this new technology makes it possible to control your bandwidth and which devices can connect to it too!
