Get Your Wi-Fi Ready for the Holidays
You’ve made your list and checked it twice. The decorations are hung with care, the gifts are wrapped and the food is prepared, but what about your Internet connection? Don’t let lagging Wi-Fi ruin the most wonderful time of the year. The holidays are stressful enough and Wi-Fi is the last thing you need to worry about.
Whether you’re hosting for the holidays or Santa is bringing a sleigh full of connected devices, having a strong and secure Wi-Fi is essential for a holly, jolly season. To help, here are 11 tips from HTC to get your Wi-Fi ready for the holidays.
Extend Your Wi-Fi Coverage
It’s Christmas morning and the kids are gaming on their new PlayStation 5. Dad’s setting up the new 4K streaming TV and Mom’s on FaceTime with the grandparents when all of a sudden whining breaks out. The problem? Wi-Fi coverage is great everywhere except the kids’ game room. The solution? HTC Smart Wi-Fi with wall-to-wall, uninterrupted coverage. Tech the halls with Smart Wi-Fi and you’ll be singing you better not cry, you better not pout in no time.
Pass the Wi-Fi
‘Tis the season for holiday visitors to bombard your Wi-Fi. The holidays are the time of year when you entertain friends and family. Probably the first words you hear from your guests (besides when are we eating) is ‘what’s the Wi-Fi password?’ Using the HomePass app from HTC Smart Wi-Fi, you can set up Wi-Fi guest access in a few seconds and sharing the password is simple. Wirelessly share via text, email or Air Drop. You can also protect your privacy by giving guests access to the Internet only, not your devices and files.
Guard Your Gifts
Don’t let a Cyber-Scrooge steal Christmas! HTC Smart Wi-Fi brings good tidings with its Guard feature. A security tool protecting your network and devices against malware and viruses, Guard will ensure your children’s new gaming system is safe and sound from a cyber-attack.
Don’t Get Your Tinsel in a Tangle
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, but did you know lights and tinsel can interfere with your Wi-Fi signal impacting speed and reach? HTC Smart Wi-Fi’s adaptive technology constantly scans for changes in your home and provides real-time Wi-Fi optimization so you can stream, game and stay connected with loved ones, all while enjoying the festive lights.
Prep Those New Devices
If Santa is bringing the coolest new smartphone, gaming system or tablet, there’s peace on Earth knowing you can create a safe online experience with Parental Controls. With the HomePass app, you can control what content your kids access, set age-appropriate content filters and even give a Wi-Fi timeout when it’s time to gather around the holiday table and spend quality time with grandma.
Get Ready for Santa
T’was the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a kid was sleeping, not even the cat. Need to get the kids off their devices so Santa can come? No problem. Simply schedule an Internet freeze at bedtime so they’ll be off their devices and dreaming of sugarplums in no time. Don’t worry parents…you can still Wi-Fi away on your devices.
Do You See What I See?
With the HTC Smart Wi-Fi HomePass app, you can view and manage every connected device in your home with just a few clicks. That’s not all. You can name the devices, assign them to the people who use them, view the activity of each device and see a list of malicious threats they were protected against.
Up Your Speed
Santa isn’t the only one coming to town. With kids ho-ho-home from college, family coming to visit and guests to entertain, your Wi-Fi is going to feel it. Plus, all the new gadgets your family is getting can slow you down. You can quickly and easily upgrade your Internet speeds to meet the extra demand on your home so everyone can enjoy their new toys.
