If you're still using your ISP's default wireless router, there's a good chance there are Wi-Fi dead spots in your home. For those of us who are sick of poor performance and frequent drops, now's a good time to upgrade. Symantec is offering up the Norton Core connected AC2600 secure Wi-Fi router for just $199.99, and that includes a full year of Norton Core Security Plus.
Spec-wise, the Norton Core has a 1.7GHz dual-core CPU, 1GB of RAM, 4GB of flash storage, three gigabit LAN ports, two USB 3.0 ports, Bluetooth Low Energy, and support for 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO. It also benefits from beamforming technology, so it's optimized specifically for your environment.
Better yet, one year of Norton Core Security Plus comes along at no extra cost. It will help protect your devices from malware and unwanted access, and it even helps keep you safe on the go. After your complimentary year is finished, Security Plus will renew at $9.99 per month. You can always cancel the service, and continue using your router, but the additional security features won't be available until you re-subscribe.
Symantec is now also providing its Ultimate Help Desk service for free. Their specialists will walk you through the entire setup process, and help troubleshoot until everything is working as intended. And since it's available 24/7, you can get your new router up and running whenever it's best for your schedule.
