Cable and fiber optic internet is what makes the world go round, but not every corner of the globe has the luxury of connecting to lightning-fast Wi-Fi networks. For those of us living in rural areas and other off-the-grid locales, a unique alternative to traditional networking is going with a satellite ISP. And as we speak, Walmart is offering a terrific discount on one of the best satellite kits in town.

For a limited time, you’ll be able to purchase the Starlink Wi-Fi 6 Dual Band Router for only $300. At full price, this system usually goes for $500. 

Why you should buy the Starlink Wi-Fi 6 Dual Band Router

Living out in the boonies or on hundreds of acres of cattle-grazing land is not everyone’s destiny, but there are plenty of homeowners who take up residence in these environments. And we’re betting the one thing all these families will be able to tell you is that their internet connection stinks. Historically, cable and fiber has a tough time getting out into the more isolated parts of the world, which is what makes a Starlink network such a compelling option. 

Setting up a Starlink system is a relatively straightforward DIY process, and you’ll get everything you need to launch the network right out of the box. Do make sure that you live in an area where SpaceX’s satellites can reach you first! Once your system is configured, you’ll then need to choose a subscription tier, with prices starting at $90 for in-demand locales. 

And just like a regular ISP router, the Starlink unit works with Wi-Fi 6 equipment and lets you choose between 2.4GHz and 5GHz network bands. Never before has it been so easy for farmers and forestal folks to stream movies, play games online, and have video chats with friends and family!

Right now, you’ll save $200 when you order the Starlink Wi-Fi 6 Dual Band Router through Walmart. We also recommend checking out some of the other router deals we found this week. We also have a list of Prime Day router deals that is still packed with incredible promos!

Withings made the flashiest smartwatch to ever grace your wrist
Official rendered images of the Withings ScanWatch Nova Brilliant.

Withings already takes the style of its ScanWatch smartwatch range seriously, and to prove once again that it’s a leader in watch-like design, it has announced the ScanWatch Nova Brilliant. Incorporating all the technology seen in the existing ScanWatch 2 and ScanWatch Nova, it has a striking new look and finish, increasing its desirability for those who want the smarts of a smartwatch, without a distinctly digital design.

The stainless steel case measures 39mm, a size most will find agreeable no matter their wrist size, and it comes in two finishes — a silver and an unusual bicolor silver and gold. The silver model has a titanium bezel, and both have an elegant fluted edge, making the Brilliant a dressier option compared to the diver-style sports watch look of the Nova.

The Amazfit T-Rex 3 smartwatch promises to give you the rough-and-tumble style of the Apple Watch Ultra 2 or Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra without the high price. It’s chunky and tough, but does it have the software and ability to help win you over? Or is there a reason it’s a lot cheaper than its well-known competitors?

I spent some time wearing the T-Rex 3 to find out. Here's what you need to know.
