Ethernet is the first thing you need to be concerned about if you plan to play games like LOL, Dota, CS, Overwatch, Battlefield, etc. We recommend you connect to LAN ethernet instead of WLAN. Nowadays, many ethernet cables can support gigabit ethernet networks. Its speed can be times faster than a WIFI connection, in addition, it is very stable.

Once you know what ethernet adapter or ethernet cable is best for your laptop, it is fast to set up gigabit LAN ethernet to laptop.

Make sure your router supports gigabit ethernet.
Prepare a CAT5 or CAT6 ethernet cable.

Shopping Online instead of offline

Shopping online has more advantages than shopping in-store. Especially during the Covid 19 pandemic, we could better stay at home instead of going out.

Is shopping online really better?

YES! You can get the same discounts and view the same products as shopping offline. Yet moreover, when shopping online, you can check the whole specs, manual, and information of the product; you can view all the reviews from people who buy the same product; you can compare many different products; you can have many more choices. The biggest advantage for me is that I don't need to face the sales in the retail shop, I can make my decision on my own without any influence!

The true key to shopping online is to find a reliable website where their products really work. Confidently and proudly, uniaccessories is one of them.

Conclusion

We can totally have much fun when we stay at home during the Covid-19 epidemic. Watch movies on TV with your family, play games with friends, shop online without any limitations, and so on.
