WiFi, Managed Services and the Home Network: Solving In-Home Connectivity

More than 30 percent of computing and entertainment device owners reported loss of wireless connectivity last year, with home network routers identified as the most common source of the problems, Parks Associates research shows.

From the article "WiFi, Managed Services and the Home Network: Solving In-Home Connectivity" by Chris O'Dell.
