Netgear, the big maker of routers and switches, is always in a rush to make products that capitalize on technology transitions, and that’s true for the products it’s rolling out at CES 2020, the big tech trade show in Las Vegas this week.

The mesh networking technology blended with Wi-Fi 6 is aimed at bringing “death to dead zones” in your home when it comes to accessing the internet via laptops, desktops, or smartphones. These products recognize that multiple family members and visitors will want to access the internet for downloading content — and for creating and uploading it too.
