There is a paradox known to everyone who works with technology: the more ways you try to improve a thing, the more variables you introduce and the more problems you can have. Your network is a good case in point. A network of two computers and a printer will seldom run into performance issues but try to add devices, and your speed immediately plummets. What went wrong? Bigger networks are not inherently slower, but your DIY solution may have been the root of the problem if you installed.

2020 is the year when Wi-Fi 6 becomes mainstream. It comes with better performance and security than ever for wireless devices. If you are running a business, you need an adoption strategy. Do you want to be an early adopter, upgrading as quickly as possible? Are you going to hang onto the old technology as long as you can? Or is the best approach somewhere in the middle, adding updated equipment in the course of regular replacements?

The best answer depends on your business's needs and how.

Waking up to drive to the office every weekday is a norm for most individuals, and being in such an environment helps them achieve specific goals. But what happens when, for some reason, you have to work from home? Will you still be as productive as you are in your office environment?
