Wi-Fi clinics offer cure for home Internet headaches

Help is at hand for UAE residents whose home Wi-Fi network isn't as healthy as it should be, thanks to a new innovation from pioneering networking leader, Linksys. The Wi-Fi Clinic, first introduced in collaboration with retail giant Carrefour, offers quick and easy troubleshooting with highly trained 'Wi-Fi Doctors', making sure home networks are fit and healthy.
Linksys is committed to delivering value to its customers and solving important unmet customer needs, and thus invests heavily in training programs for its extended salesforce to ensure they are up to speed on Linksys products and possible networking issues. The company's new initiative sees highly skilled professionals stationed at each of the clinics, available to provide complete guidance in every aspect of the home network, from finding the most suited router and setting up the network, to solving rage issues such as identifying the optimal placement for the range extender to eliminate dead zones and setup of the smart devices for seamless roaming.
The Wi-Fi specialist can also guide customers on how to gain complete control and secure access of their wireless network using the Smart Wi-Fi routers. Users can instantly tap into their home network to check the connection status of their devices, give a guest access to the Internet, and protect their child from accessing harmful websites. Users can also prioritise which devices on the network get the most bandwidth to eliminate lag times and buffering.
"UAE residents facing challenges with their home networking products are often unsure how to rectify the issue, with the lack of aftersales support. Linksys created the Wi-Fi Clinic, to help residents resolve wireless connectivity issues with ease, in the same manner a patient visits a doctor for any illness," said Amanulla Khan, managing director, Linksys, Middle East, Turkey & Africa. "The clinic acts as a platform for users to get educated on their networking needs and enabling them to make well informed investments on premium networking tools for maximum ROI."
The clinic also advises customers on what to look for when purchasing network products, based on their current usage and future needs based on the size of their house, number of wireless users and number of connected devices. Linksys has portfolio of products designed for home or apartment use, to include their recently launched first home-grade access point, the Linksys Dual Band AC750 Wireless Access Point (WAP750AC) and Linksys Max-Stream AC1900 MU-MIMO Gigabit Wi-Fi Router (EA7500) and immediately available at leading stores and online retailers, including Jarir Bookstore, Xtra and Emax retail. - business@khaleejtimes.com
