When the holidays arrive, they tend to bring company. And that, in turn, brings a long to-do list.

You probably know the routine all too well. Cleaning to do. Food to prepare. All the usual preparations that are as old as holiday gatherings. And one preparation that’s a little more modern: making sure the Wi-Fi is up to snuff.

Don’t worry. We’ve got your back.

It starts with your NextLight connection, of course. Your home’s high-speed fiber already has the power to handle every part of a connected home: how you work, how you study and how you play. But since your guests won’t be directly plugged in, that means you’ll want a router that can handle everyone.

Good news: You can still try out a free two months of our WIFI6 whole-home solution, the high-powered router that captures more of NextLight’s speed for more devices in more of your home.

Better news: If you’ve got the NextLight WiFi app (available through either Google Play or the App Store), you can easily set up a guest network for all your visitors. Just open the app, go to My Network and then click the plus sign in the upper right corner, where you’ll get the option to “Add Network.” Then choose “select type” and “guest,” where you’ll be given the chance to create the name, password and everything else you’ll need.

Best news: As always, there are no contracts to tie you down; everything is month-to-month. So if (for example), you need a mesh unit to extend the range a little bit for a holiday gathering in December or a graduation party in the spring, simply lease what you need when you need it.

It’s an easy way to check one more item off your holiday list.

And at this time of year, isn’t it nice to wrap things up?
