Whether you are going with a date or a group of friends or your whole family, everyone gets excited when the lights go down, and the show begins in that big room with all those strangers. Just thinking about it brings up memories of popcorn and soda, whispers and chuckles during the credits. Of course, the good stuff always comes with a bit of the bad, like sticky floors and the inevitable shimmy down the crowded aisle to go to the concession stand. But with the modern home theater, you can have all the good stuff without any of the annoying bits.

We’ve all felt the struggle. Your kids are on their iPads, and your partner is watching TV while scrolling through Instagram on their smartphone while you desperately try to connect with colleagues over a Zoom call.

You call your internet provider, and their suggestion is just to reset your router. And maybe put a chair near your refrigerator. Not a great solution, but what are your options? Having a high-speed internet connection is essential, sure, but how it's dispersed around your Ogunquit, ME home and devices makes all the difference. Having a whole home Wi-Fi setup is the answer.
