Instead of $900, you’ll just have to pay $800 for this mesh Wi-Fi system, but only if you hurry.

Why you should buy the Netgear Orbi AX6000 tri-band Wi-Fi system

The Netgear Orbi AX6000 tri-band Wi-Fi system includes a router module and two satellites to create a mesh network that supports Wi-Fi 6 and will provide coverage across 7,500 square feet. The router and the satellites will use a single network name for a seamless connection as you move around — horizontally or vertically — and MU-MIMO technology will allow for simultaneous streaming across multiple devices, so even if everyone in the family is connected to the mesh Wi-Fi system at the same time, nobody will experience any lag or buffering while watching streaming shows.

With the free Netgear Orbi app, the Netgear Orbi AX6000 tri-band Wi-Fi system is easy to install as you’ll be guided through the entire process of setting up the router module and the satellites. You’ll be able to access settings and monitor performance through the app, and you can use voice commands through smart home devices powered by Amazon’s Alexa or Google Assistant to make adjustments to the system.

The Netgear Orbi AX6000 tri-band Wi-Fi system is an excellent investment because it’s going to significantly improve your internet experience at home. It’s available from Crutchfield with a $100 discount that slashes its price to $800 from $900, but if you want the savings, you should probably proceed with the purchase right away. It won’t be a good idea to wait until the sale’s last minute because stocks may already be all gone by then, so add the Netgear Orbi AX6000 tri-band Wi-Fi system to your cart and complete the transaction as soon as possible.

These are the compact printers I’d actually recommend for back-to-school
From dorm room paperwork to instant selfie prints, there's a tiny printer for every need.
Computer Hardware, Electronics, Hardware

Everything is digital until the one professor who still wants a printed essay, or the lease you need to sign in ink, or the photo you want to stick on your dorm room’s wall. That's usually the exact moment you remember you don't own a printer anymore, and the nearest one is a library machine with a line out the door.

I looked at four compact printers that solve that problem without taking over your desk and breaking the bank. Two are built for documents, one is a proper all-in-one for actual home office work, and one has nothing to do with homework and everything to do with turning your camera roll into something you can hold.

Shopping for back-to-school? These are the webcam lights I’d actually turn on before a Zoom call
From a budget clip light to a proper desk setup, there's a webcam light here for every price.
Head, Person, Face

Between online classes, group project calls, and the occasional job interview over Zoom, your webcam will be doing a lot more heavy lifting in school than it ever did at home. The problem is that most laptop cameras are bad in low light, and a single overhead bulb or a window behind you turns every call into a game of "wait, can you see me okay?"

A good webcam light fixes that faster than moving your whole desk around. I picked five, starting with the most affordable and working up to the one that's genuinely overkill for a Zoom call but still worth knowing about.

What does this new translate button actually do?
