This WiFi 6 Router Covers 6,500 Sq.Ft. and Is Now at Its Lowest Price with 10,000 Five-Star Reviews

gizmodo.com Gizmodo Deals 2025-09-21 02:10:59

Low WiFi in a large house can be quite frustrating, particularly when your ISP router is not powerful enough to cover all parts of it. Instead of relying on an average box that has a tendency of creating dead spots and lagging connections, it is worth investing in a more powerful system from a trusted brand like TP-Link. One of their best-selling devices, the 3-pack TP-Link Deco AX3000 WiFi 6 mesh system (deco x55) is currently selling at an all-time low price of $149, down from $199 previously

Since then, led by partner Gong Yuan, the team has steadily expanded the system, bringing in outside researchers and professionals to help refine it. As the project grew more sophisticated, they decided to release it to the public. Xbench approached the problem with two different systems. One is similar to traditional benchmarking:

Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 review: Technically proficient but lacking soul

In previous years, the Dell 16 Plus 2-in-1 probably would have been called an Inspiron. However, after the company revamped its naming scheme earlier this year, all of its consumer PCs now share its name, with a few extra identifiers that call out size, design and status (aka how fancy it is). While I still think Dell’s choice to ditch the iconic XPS tag is a mistake, streamlining its portfolio makes a lot of sense, especially for people simply looking to buy a new laptop.
