And Tech Advisor is watching out for the best home-networking tech deals on the Prime Days. Both Powerline and Mesh WiFi adapters can seriously speed up your home network. Powerline kits include two adapters that use you home’s electrical cables as surrogate Ethernet cables, speeding an Internet connection from room to room and avoiding flaky Wi-Fi issues. Plug one Powerline adapter into a wall power socket near your router, and connect to the router with an Ethernet cable. You then plug the other adapter into a socket in the room that requires a fast Internet connection, and you can connect that to whatever device you like (as long as it has an Ethernet port), such as your TV for super-speedy movie streaming, games console or laptop. Some Powerline kits include the ability to create a new fast wireless hotspot in rooms that have weak Wi-Fi. Read our roundup of the best Powerline adapters.
