When you switch to a new faster router in your home, like one of the new TP-Link routers, something amazing happens. Your TV experience improves: streaming videos require less buffering. Your gaming experience improves: latency effects disappear. Your browser experience improves: your web searches are smoother and faster. Moreover, this contest will deliver a better internet experience right when you need it: during the holiday season. The prizes for this contest are four kinds of TP-Link routers, including the Grand Prize Wi-Fi 6 router.

Holiday season can wreck havoc on your home internet speed

I suspect that internet service providers get a ton of complaints at this time of year through no fault of their own. This is the time of year when internet usage in the home goes up: sometimes way, way up. As a result, home internet performance goes down; sometimes it will slow to a dead crawl.

There are many factors that contribute to this: we are home watching more streaming television—did you see the new Klaus on Netflix yet: Instant classic! We are streaming more games due to new services like Apple Arcade and Google Stadia. We are using more smart products like smart lights and smart plugs. All of my Christmas lights turn on at the same time and off at the same time thanks to smart products. We put more demands on our internet, often without first asking if our router can handle it.

Unfortunately, your router can only take so much before it stumbles and crawls from having too much stuff to do. The worst part is that almost all of us will be adding to the demand with some of the presents we give and receive. That new streaming device, new iPad, new smart lock … each will further test the limits of your home internet.

TP-Link products can handle internet and more

TP-Link have a huge range of products for your home. At my house, I have several smart plugs controlling my Christmas lights. At precisely 4:30 pm each night, all of the Christmas lights outside my home (and I have a lot of them) automatically turn on. At precisely 10:00 pm they all go off. Also, if I want to turn them on or off at will, I can tell my Google home to turn off, or turn on “Outside Lights” and voila.

TP-Link products are easy to set up and use and we are giving away four different ones in this contest. Each of these TP-Link prizes is a router that can help you control your smart home and with streaming, gaming, and browsing. If you want a better home internet experience, and especially if you think the demands on your home internet will increase this holiday season, then you need to enter this contest.

How to enter

Entering this contest is easy but you can only enter once. In a comment beneath this article, tell us what kinds of devices will be connected to your home internet this holiday season. Perhaps you’ll have guests over who’ll use your Wi-Fi. Perhaps you’ll be getting a new Smart TV, or gaming console. Each of those will place new demands on your internet.

What you can win

At the end of this contest we will select four (4) winners from all eligible entries. One winner will receive a TP-Link AC2600 Wi-Fi Extender, one will receive an AC1900 Smart Wi-Fi Router, one an AC1350 Wireless Dual Band Router, and one an AX6000 Next-Gen Wi-Fi Router.

This contest will run from December 11th until December 26th.

Remember you can only enter once. However, you probably have family and friends who will also be putting extra demands on their internet. They might appreciate if you shared this contest with them so they too have a chance to win an amazing new TP-Link router.

  1. This would be extremely helpful. Theres a new smart tv and a ps4 under the tree. We already a tv,ps4,ps3,laptop and 3 phones that all use wifi.

  2. We have probably too many devices with our family of 5. Laptops, tablets, phones, smart TVs, Amazon Fire Sticks and a few gaming consoles, oh and the smart outlet we are using to control the Christmas lights!

  3. Usually a laptop, cable tv, and phone. I’m thinking of getting a Roku or similar to make my television smarter, so I can waste even more time watching Netflix without having to attach an HDMI cable each time.

  4. TV, playstation, phones and printer are all connected to our WiFi. A new router sure would help it all run smoothly.

  5. Will be getting a Nintendo switch that will he hooked up after Christmas. Hoping to get a smart TV during boxing week but winning one would be even better!
    Everything is electronics these days so our router definitely is on overdrive most of the time!

  6. We are going to set up Amazon Prime, so watching a streaming show via the tv and tablet will be a change for us.

  7. We have our laptops, TV and iPads linked up to the internet. Our stove also has that capability – we’re hoping to figure that out over the holidays!

  8. Spotted a brand new boxed Playstation hidden under some packing blankets in the garage. I suspect it’s scheduled for presentation and hookup on the 25th. Guessing that could crowd our current older router.
