Over these past two years, many South Africans had to adjust to either fully or intermittently working from home. Finding ourselves, our workload, and our personal lives all under one roof brought with it some hard truths. We had to see just how well we’re able to strike the balance between home and work lives, as well as how equipped our homes and network connections were to power our tasks and personal streaming downtime.
We realised the value of a solid, steady, and reliable internet connection when it came to balancing it all – from virtual school for kids to zoom meetings and entertainment breaks. And when our portal to online activity is not working or glitching it can seem like our entire balance is thrown for a loop.
This is where opting to invest in a WiFi router that can match your needs and productivity allows you peace of mind and internet access. HUAWEI has launched two routers sure to entice customers looking to boost their internet connectivity and reliability - the HUAWEI WiFi AX3 (Dual-core) router and the HUAWEI LTE B535 4G Router.
The HUAWEI AX3 router is powered by HUAWEI WiFi 6 Plus - this offers you an incredible internet reach through different rooms and thick walls with ease. It also packs a speedy punch with its impressive 1024-QAM and 160 MHz frequency bandwidth – this allows its theoretical speed can reach up to 3 000 Mbps (574 Mbps on a 2.4 GHz band and 2,402 Mbps on a 5 GHz band) – making streaming, gaming, and home-based working a lag-free breeze. Additionally, the HUAWEI AX3 works well with your existing or older HUAWEI WiFi routers to help boost connectivity around your home by networking and connecting to those routers to be set up as booster points around the house. To enable this feature, you merely have to press the ‘H’ button for your routers to pair and sync up – giving you a seamless connectivity experience across your home.
With the HUAWEI LTE B535 4G Router, there’s no need to install or configure a cable in your home – all you need is to insert a regular 4G SIM card into your router to provide the whole house with fixed wireless broadband services. This router also comes powered by a dual-core Balong chipset that delivers a maximum download rate of 300 Mbit/s. And signal stability and the strength of coverage is vastly improved with the two built-in high-gain 4G antennas and two external antennas interfaces. Additionally, the HUAWEI LTE B535 4G Router supports dual Wi-Fi bands of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz and combines them into one visible signal. This lets you experience a smooth and stable WiFi experience throughout your home without having to manually select the best signal point.
These WiFi routers are built with our modern internet needs in mind perfected for those needing to strike that work and personal life balance at home – in a way that older routers aren’t as equipped for. Here are four router red flags to look out for to know it’s time to hit refresh on your WiFi connection with a new router:
Your router has physical and visible wear and tear
If your router has physical damage – internally or externally, it becomes a household fire hazard that not only affects your internet connection but home safety. Check your router cable, connection points, and external casing regularly for any cracks or wear and be sure to monitor your router after a fall as the internal circuit board may have been damaged. If you find your router has more damage than can be easily or cost-effectively fixed – it’s wiser and safer to invest in a new router altogether.
The connection keeps playing hide and seek
If you find yourself having connection one moment and losing it the next – whether in the same room or when moving around – it’s time to invest in a router that has more strength, range, and reach. This is where newer routers like the HUAWEI AX3 or HUAWEI LTE B535 4G Router come in handy – as they both promise a reach that keeps you covered across your home – through walls and objects with ease.
It stays in the slow lane
Similarly, if you find your internet is constantly in a state of lag or is exceptionally slow, it’s time to hit refresh with a faster and newer internet connection. Both of the HUAWEI routers on offer provide customers with WiFi dual bands of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz – giving you a smooth and speedy internet experience and freeing you of lags and glitches in your internet connection.
It’s outdated
If you’ve had the same WiFi router for a long period of time, you’ll likely find it can no longer handle your productivity needs of today. Whether it’s multitasking issues or a lack of features – older routers aren’t built with our workflow and internet needs we have today – where both our work and personal lives find themselves online. This is where newer routers like those from HUAWEI come in handy as they are designed with our modern internet needs and online lives in mind.
These are just some of the key ways to know it’s time to hit refresh with a new WiFi router. Get your hands on the HUAWEI WiFi AX3 (Dual-core) router and the HUAWEI LTE B535 4G Router to give your cyber life peace of mind and ease of access. You can find these routers available through an exciting deal with Telkom for just R309 per month with 20GB for you to enjoy – for more information on this deal, click here.
