With these simple tricks under your belt, connecting to the internet is easier than ever. 

No one enjoys laboriously typing out that never-ending wifi password. It's frustrating, time-consuming, and you're almost guaranteed to get it wrong on the first try. In 2023, technology should be far swifter and more accessible, whether you're prepared to commit to a smart home or not.
