There was a big oversight when I got my PC. No internal Wi-Fi adapter. My office area does not have quality wired internet access. This simple USB Wi-Fi adapter, however, has saved the day and given me consistently good Wi-Fi access for the past year or two. It’s the TP-Link AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 USB Adapter, and this deal on it is one of my favorite Prime Day TP-Link deals. If you’re a Prime member (or sign up for Prime with the Amazon Prime free trial) you can get one, too, for just $40. That’s a savings of $30 off of its usual $70 price point. Pair it with a fast router from one of these Prime Day router deals and you’ve got yourself a recipe for reliable internet on any device with a USB-A port. Tap the button below to see it for yourself or keep reading to see more about why you’ll like this adapter.

Why you should buy the TP-Link AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 USB Adapter

The TP-Link AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 USB Adapter is considered to be one of the best Wi-Fi adapters for its adaptable usage, fast speeds, and consistent lag-free internet. One thing we generally do not like about this Wi-Fi adapter is its standard cost, as we find that there are plentiful acceptable Wi-Fi adapters under $50. With this Prime Day deal, one of the few issues with the TP-Link AX1800 is resolved.

Pretty much no matter where you are or what you put it into, the TP-Link AX1800 is going to work well. You can stick it in your laptop or desktop, as I’ve done in the image above, in “flash drive stick” mode, with the option to pull out an antenna flap for more reliability. There’s also an included stand that you can plug it into that connects to a longer USB cord. In this way, you can change the area from which your computer receives Wi-Fi reception. This means that even if your device is in a bad corner of the room or is getting interference from other devices, you are likely able to still get some Wi-Fi power.

To grab your TP-Link AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 USB Adapter at a price of $40, all you need to do is tap the button below and be an Amazon Prime member. Even if you aren’t a Prime member now, you might able to sign up via a free trial, enabling you to save $30 off of this adapter, which is usually $70. Then, you can use that Prime membership to shop other top Prime Day deals on tech gadgets and other things you love.

I discovered an odd MelGeek lighting feature and turned my keyboard into Tetris
MelGeek’s GIF Lighting feature let me turn the MADE68 Ultra V2 into a tiny Tetris board
Melgeek Mate 68 Ultra V2 on a desk

I have been reviewing the MelGeek Made68 Ultra V2 for the past few weeks, and surprisingly, one of my favorite things about it has nothing to do with gaming.

Make no mistake, this is very much a gaming keyboard, and a premium one at that. It uses Hall effect switches, offers adjustable actuation, and has all the usual features you would expect from a modern magnetic keyboard. I have particularly enjoyed using it in Rainbow Six Siege, where peeking and strafing feel noticeably snappier than on the mechanical keyboards I normally use.

Lenovo’s next ThinkBook could stretch sideways into a portable ultrawide setup
Your next ThinkBook could literally grow more screen when work gets crowded
Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Rollable

Lenovo apparently hasn't finished asking how much screen it can squeeze into a laptop bag. A new report from WindowsLatest points to a Lenovo ThinkBook design with a display capable of expanding horizontally, potentially giving users considerably more desktop space without making the laptop permanently enormous.

The design appears connected to a Lenovo patent covering a laptop computer shown in multiple configurations. The patent was filed in August 2024 and granted in the US on March 10, 2026, with Lenovo Beijing listed as the assignee.

I didn’t realize how much Finder was slowing me down until I switched to Bloom
Turns out my file manager was the productivity leak I never saw coming.
Bloom app on Mac

I have used Finder for as long as I have owned a Mac, and for most of that time, I never gave it a second thought. You open a window, dig through some folders, drag a file where it needs to go, and move on with your day. That's just how it works, right?

Except it should not. Constantly opening new windows to move a file from one folder to another, waiting on searches that dig through my entire drive when I only want results from one folder, resizing the same columns over and over because they never remember their width (this one is especially galling) should not be normal.
