Wi-Fi is faster than ever before, but that speed comes with a cost in terms of range. If you've been noticing connectivity issues, like dead zones, drop-outs, or sluggishly slow sites when browsing, you're probably wondering how to extend your Wi-Fi coverage at the minimum cost. While moving your router to a more central location is an option, it's not always possible.

It's better to upgrade to a mesh network, which will give you better Wi-Fi coverage and handle your devices better so you're not left frustrated waiting for pages to load.

Illustration by Cath Virginia / The Verge | Photos from Getty Images TikTok — an app used to by 170 million Americans — now has its future resting in the hands of three judges. The company fought for its life during oral arguments on Monday only for the judges to express a great deal of skepticism towards TikTok’s case.

Though the bill seeks a divestment of the app from its Chinese owner ByteDance by a January 19th deadline, the company says the ultimatum is in truth a ban that would stifle the speech of TikTok and its creators, and improperly limit the information Americans are able to receive.The Department of Justice...

Apple announced a new set of AirPods Max during its event last week, updating them with USB-C and in a new set of colors. The switch to USB-C is a welcome one, to be sure, but Apple changed nothing else about them. And that feels weird, right? What gives?Apple’s high-end luxury headphones were impressive when they launched in 2020. They had all the features of the AirPods Pro and made clever use of the Apple Watch’s digital crown for volume control. They also sounded fantastic — still do, in fact! But the rest of the market didn’t sit still; alternatives from Sony, Bose, and more recently, Sonos, all offer comparable features and sound — most notably, they each compete with the AirPods Max when it comes to noise cancellation (Bose does...

Webcams are more important than ever as videocalls and online meetings have become the norm of the past few years. With that said, you don't want to be caught out there with terrible resolution video since your webcam isn't up to the task, which is where buying a better one from a third party can come in handy. Of course, if you're looking for good quality, then it's going to be a bit more costly, with 4K webcams easily costing over $200.
