Networking & Wireless

Whether you’re upgrading your home Wi-Fi network or you’re getting your business online for the first time, count on Sam’s Club for networking & wireless equipment. Setting up a wireless network is easier than it’s ever been, thanks to innovative products that walk you through setup, step-by-step. And, you can find what you need to get started at Sam’s Club, all at members-only prices.

The most important piece of your home network is your router. Sam’s Club sells a variety of routers including Netgear routers, TP-Link routers and Linksys routers. There are a few things to consider when purchasing a router. First, check with your internet provider to see if they have any specific requirements. Not all routers will work with all service providers. If you’re not sure, look for a router that says “works with all service providers” on the product page. Also, you can choose from several different router styles and sizes. Some are compact and sit flush against the outlet they are plugged into while others are slightly larger and sit on a shelf or other surface. Another important consideration is how much square footage the router will cover. If you have a small apartment, a basic router should do. For a 3 to 4 bedroom home, look for something with more robust coverage. Or, consider a system that allows you to extend the coverage of your wireless internet to a larger area.

In addition to traditional routers, Sam’s Club offers some alternatives. For example, you might want to consider Google Wi-Fi, which uses Wifi mesh networking and the flexibility to add nodes to areas of your home or office which may be hard for regular wifi to reach. An additional benefit of using Google Wi-Fi is that it works seamlessly with other products like Google Home and Google Mini.

No matter what you purchase, check the reviews to see what people have to say about setting up the system, and it’s a good idea to consider warranties and customer service options, too.
