Having bad Wi-Fi in your house is the worst — the dead spots, annoying buffering and frustrating lag. My vacation home in California is made of steel and for tech, that’s like living in a big Faraday cage. I knew how to fix the Wi-Fi when we moved in because I fixed it myself in our Phoenix home years ago using the smart Wi-Fi system from eero, an Amazon company.

Eero covers your whole home with fast, reliable Wi-Fi inside and out. You’ll have a consistently strong signal all over, even when the whole family’s online. You can set it up in under 10 minutes. Just plug eero right into your modem and you’re good to go.

You asked, I listened. You want more tech news, tips and advice you can trust. You want fewer annoying ads and less email clogging up your inbox. That's why we created The Current. Stay up to date on everything you need to know in less than 5 minutes, twice per week. No ads — just the news and tips you want.

I like to post quotes to motivate you, shots from behind-the-scenes of my national radio show and, of course, my dog Abby.
