Sluggish Wi-Fi is one of my least favorite tech problems to deal with because it messes with everything: my work, my smart lightbulbs, my online sessions of Mario Kart World. There are many reasons your Wi-Fi may be wonky, but the good news is that you can solve many of them with better routers. One of the best mesh options is the Eero Pro 6E, which is currently available on Amazon in a three-pack — with a $100 Amazon gift card — for an all-time low of $449.99 ($100 off).
The Pro 6E has been improved with updates since our 2022 review, which is good because our initial experience was plagued with reliability issues. A pack of three routers can create a network that covers up to 6,000 square feet with support for over 100 connected devices at once without throttling. In terms of speeds, it can reach a maximum wireless data transfer speed of 1.3Gbps. Connect one to your cable modem, then spread the other two around to different parts of your home to create a strong mesh Wi-Fi network that's (hopefully) free from dead zones. Eero's app makes it easy to set the routers up, and will instruct you on the best practices for positioning them. It can also perform automatic security updates in the background when you aren't using your network.
Some more ways to save
Anker's six-port Desktop Charger is a great gadget for keeping many of your devices topped up at once. The 112W wall charger is $29.99 at Amazon (originally $59.99) and has three USB-C ports plus three USB-A ports. The charger's total output across all of its ports is 112 watts, but its most powerful USB-C PD port can charge devices at up to 30 watts. That's sufficient for phones, tablets, the Nintendo Switch, and smaller laptops. There are some protection measures for your devices, including high-voltage output protection, short-circuit protection, and output temperature control to prevent your gadgets from getting fried while charging. Anker also includes a cable management tool with grooves to hold your cords, which should come in handy if you have six devices connected at once.
If you're sick of constantly unplugging accessories from your computer to make room for another, Baseus' 17-in-1 Docking Station is a great, port-filled solution that's discounted right now. On sale for $99.98 ($20 off) at Amazon, the hub features three USB-A 3.0 ports, two USB-A 2.0 ports, four USB-C ports, both full-size and microSD card slots, two HDMI ports, a DisplayPort, an ethernet port, and a headphone jack. Most of the USB ports can only be used for data transferring, not charging, so be mindful of that. However, if your laptop supports USB-C, you can link it to the hub with a single cable to use multiple 4K 60Hz monitors, mount external hard drives, and attach a webcam — among other accessories — thanks to its numerous ports.
If you're planning an outdoor movie night this summer, Anker's Nebula Mars 3 has fallen to $779.99 at Amazon and Walmart, which is $270 less than normal and its lowest price so far this year. The 4K projector has a 40W speaker, and can run for up to five hours on battery power. Its 1,000-lumen bulb should be bright enough to project a clear picture when it's in an environment without much light pollution. For the best experience, you can also get a projection screen. The projector's most surprising feature is its IPX3 rating, which means it'll stay safe even when sprayed with water. This means you won't end up with a broken projector if it's exposed to a little rain.
