Working from home is a challenging baseline, and when you combine that without the right tech? A recipe for disaster, i.e. not being able to focus on meetings because your children are noisily running around the living room and your dog is barking to be let out. 

The solution is simple: invest in reliable products that make a big impact on your day-to-day routine. For example, noise-canceling headphones can drown out background noise and allow you to focus on time-sensitive tasks, while Wi-Fi extenders ensure solid internet connectivity, even if your home office is in the basement where the signal is usually weak 

From portable keyboards to ergonomic desks, having the best accessories helps you stay focused, comfortable, and productive—which is why we’ve rounded up the best tech products to enhance your remote work experience and keep your space as efficient as possible.
