Spotty, unreliable internet is frustrating beyond belief—especially when its in your own home. You want to just be able to lay down on the couch after a long day and scroll mindlessly through TikTok. I know I do. But when videos pause to buffer or a download stops in its tracks, that minor inconvenience can drives you up the wall. The worst is when it happens on the toilet. I refuse to go back to reading the back of the shampoo bottle, darn it. Thankfully, a good WiFi 6 mesh system can alleviate

ZDNET's key takeaways The Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro is available for $180 for the Wi-Fi version and $200 for the PoE version. This indoor/outdoor security camera doubles as a smart home hub, features 1520p resolution for crystal-clear images, RTSP support, and has a built-in NPU to process video with AI for visual recognition. The camera is wired, so placement is limited, and there is no expandable storage, so you need a subscription to access video history or bypass it through video server soft

10% Home Depot Promo Codes & Coupons | June 2025

wired.com Matthew Korfhage 2026-03-05 12:30:00

Home Depot goes hard. The company pretty much invented the hardware superstore when it began in 1978, just by being so big. They inflated the neighborhood tool shop into a whole city of lumber, hammers, caulk, power saws, and big rolls of wire. I would know I’m in a Home Depot blindfolded, because of a distinct quality to the air—crisp and particulate, smelling like wood dust and paint and the oiled metal of power tools.

If you can get 5G on your phone while you're at home, you should be able to get 5G internet at your house, right?
