Google WiFi – Great Coverage – Great Device – Plus Parental Controls

Adelaide TechguyNo Comments

Looking to expand Wi-Fi coverage throughout your home or business and have parental controls if you need them. Then try Google Wi-Fi which uses a mesh network to distribute the internet via Wi-FI What is a mesh network? Google Wifi uses what’s called a mesh network to provide Wi-Fi. A mesh network is a group of devices that act as a single Wi-Fi network; so there are multiple sources of Wi-Fi around your house, instead of just a single router. These Wi-Fi sources are called Wi-Fi points. Since Wi-Fi is broadcast from each Wi-Fi point (and not just a single router), it can provide better coverage over a wider space.

Logitech MX Vertical Mouse – Looks Unusual But It’s Great

I have come to really like this mouse and believe that many could benefit from the features. Because of its unusual shape it takes a bit of getting used to but will feel second nature to you in a short space of time . Features MX Vertical’s natural handshake position reduces muscular strain by 10 percent and promotes a more ergonomic posture. MX Vertical’s unique 57° vertical angle reduces the pressure on… Read More

Adelaide TechguyNo Comments

I talk and write about tech for a living and buy all the new products that I consider people , listeners and clients will want to know about.
