Gifts for Your Favorite Techie Part 1: Things to Make your Network Happy

Christmas is sneaking up on us. Time to start thinking about what to get your loved ones.

For the techie in your life, networking equipment might not seem exciting, but it's incredibly practical and will be appreciated every single day.

Modems

Motorola MB7621

For internet plans up to 600 Mbps, the Motorola MB7621 is an excellent choice.

It's Docsis 3.0, so it's not bleeding edge, but it's more than enough for most families. Reliable and affordable.

Motorola MB8600

If you have a gigabit internet plan or a household with lots of connected devices, step up to the MB8600.

It'll handle everything you throw at it without breaking a sweat.

Routers

Netgear Nighthawk

For typical households with 5-10 devices, the Netgear Nighthawk router is our recommendation.

It offers excellent coverage and performance for everyday use, from streaming to video calls to browsing.

Asus ROG Rapture GT-AX11000

For the serious gamer in your life, the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 delivers high speed, stable performance that gaming demands.

It's overkill for casual users, but gamers will love the reduced lag and prioritized gaming traffic.

Here's the thing: freeing up time to spend with your techie is worth more than any of the gifts you could buy.
