Chances are likely that you have a bunch of stuff hooked up to your router, and you might be seeing performance drops as a result.

In our review of the TP-Link AX1800Wi-Fi router, we said that it “delivered good throughput and showed strong signal strength in our testing,” praising its easy installation and intuitive parental controls. This is a really steep discount, so grab it quick.

Chromebooks typically aren’t known for delivering high-end performance or components, but if you need a lightweight laptop running off an operating system with a minimum of extra junk, they’re good options. The Acer Chromebook 315 is a steal at this price, boasting a 15.6″ touchscreen with anti-glare coating. Hardware is what you’d expect, with an Intel Celeron N4020 processor, 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM and 64GB eMMC internal storage. In our review, we praised the solid selection of ports and decent memory for a Chromebook.
Apple consistently hits the sweet spot with iPads, combining impeccable build quality with solid internals to deliver a mobile computing experience that just works. We gave the 10th generation iPad an Editors’ Choice award in our review, saying that it “works for casual and creative uses alike.” With the A14 Bionic processor and Wi-Fi 6 support, it’s great for streaming media, surfing the Web or playing games, and everything looks beautiful on the 10.9″ Liquid Retina display. This configuration comes with 64GB of internal storage.

There are so many streaming services out there right now that we’d have to take off our shoes to count them all, and even then we may run out of toes. Keeping track of all of your logins for Netflix, Hulu, Max, Disney+ and the rest can be an overwhelming task, especially if you just want to watch something away from your home theater. That’s where a Fire TV stick comes in; just load in your credentials and you can stream from anywhere you’ve got a HDMI port and a Wi-Fi network. We reviewed the Fire TV Stick 4K and said it “adds Wi-Fi 6 to one of the best media streaming devices,” giving it an Editors’ Choice award.Need even more stuff to spend your return on?
