Cash App now lets you pool money with friends who don't use the app
Cash App is introducing a new peer-to-peer feature that allows you to pool money together for group payments, even with people who aren't Cash App users. When a pool is created, the organizer can request contributions with in-app '$Cashtag' invitations, or via texts and shareable links for group members who use Apple Pay and Google Pay. 'We know that many of our customers already use the platform as a way to collect payments from groups,' Cash App product design head Cameron Worboys said in the press release. 'With pools, our customers now have a dedicated, easy-to-use solution for group payments: they can start a pool to collect the money in seconds, and then instantly transfer the funds to their Cash App balance when it's time to pay.' Cash App says it's launching the pools feature today for a 'select group' of customers, and that the feature will roll out broadly 'in the coming months.' Cash App pools can be created through the app's payments tab, and can be closed at any time to transfer the money to the organizer's Cash App balance. Pool organizers can set a funding target to help keep track of how much needs to be paid, and who has contributed towards group purchases, such as meals, vacation bookings, or event tickets. It's similar to the money-pooling capabilities that PayPal launched in November last year, though PayPal's offering notably allows users to make pool contributions directly from their bank accounts. Settle Up and Venmo have also created features that aim to make tracking and pooling group expenses more convenient.

Netgear's new Wi-Fi 7 mesh system is its most affordable yet
Netgear has launched the Orbi 370, the latest and most affordable addition to its Wi-Fi 7 mesh router portfolio. At $349.99 for a three-pack (which includes a router and two satellites), it costs a fraction of the price of Netgear's other Wi-Fi 7 systems, like the high-end Orbi 870 and 970, or the $999.99 Orbi 770 series it released last year. A two-pack containing a router and a single satellite is available for $249.99 for those in smaller households, and additional Orbi 370 satellites can be purchased for $149.99 to expand mesh network coverage. Netgear says the Orbi 370 is compatible with any service provider and supports Wi-Fi speeds of up to 5Gbps. Both the router and satellites include integrated 2.5Gbps Ethernet ports, allowing wired connections to be used with more demanding devices like gaming systems and smart TVs. The Orbi 370 supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, which can be combined using Multi-Link Operation (MLO) to potentially provide faster downloads, less latency, and a more stable connection to Wi-Fi 7 devices. The more affordable entry point is targeting growing households, or those with 'moderately demanding Wi-Fi needs,' according to Netgear, but will also likely appeal to anyone who was looking for an excuse to upgrade from older wireless network standards. You still need Wi-Fi 7-compatible devices — which are fairly uncommon — to actually use Wi-Fi 7 features, but the Orbi 370 is backwards compatible with Wi-Fi 4/5/6/6E. The added stability that the MLO feature can provide to wireless connections may carry over to devices that use older Wi-Fi standards too, providing something that users can benefit from immediately if they're futureproofing with the mesh router system.
