		Looking To Improve Your Wi-Fi Performance And Coverage? We Have Some Great Solutions To Meet Your Needs... In Tech Support we often get calls from customers complaining about slow speeds, drops, or poor Internet performance. More often than not, this has nothing to do with the Internet connection to your house. Instead, the root cause ends up being Wi-Fi related. In some cases, the fix is as simple as moving your Wi-Fi router to a more central location. In other cases, your home may need a multiple access point solution to provide better coverage and performance. We offer a full range of residential and business class Wi-Fi solutions from leading manufacturers including AirTies, Eero, Ubiquiti and Ruckus. Our Whole Home Wi-Fi uses multiple access points placed at strategic locations around your home to expand coverage, eliminating dead spots, and providing great performance for all of your streaming devices. The good news is we can help guide you through the process of determining what solution works best for you. For more information, visit www.wcvt.com/services/wi-fi/residential to learn more about our Whole Home Wi-Fi or business Wi-Fi solutions. You can also give us a call at 800-496-3391 or send us an email and we'd be happy to discuss our solutions with you. Win a Pair of Vermont State Parks Day Passes – 4 Winners this Month!
