If your home WiFi feels fine until everyone gets online at the same time, a router upgrade is one of the quickest quality-of-life fixes you can make. The Netgear Nighthawk RAX70 8-stream WiFi 6 router is down to $124.97 (was $379.99), saving you $255.02 at 67% off. That’s a big enough discount that it turns a “maybe someday” networking upgrade into a pretty easy decision, especially if you’re juggling streaming, video calls, smart home devices, and gaming all under one roof.

This is a tri-band WiFi 6 (AX6600) router designed for higher traffic and more connected devices. The big practical advantage of tri-band is that it can reduce congestion in busy households by spreading devices across more wireless capacity, which helps when multiple people are streaming, working, or gaming at the same time.

It’s also marketed for coverage up to 2,500 sq. ft. and up to 40 devices, which lines up with a lot of real homes that now have phones, laptops, TVs, cameras, speakers, thermostats, and plugs all competing for signal. You’re also getting built-in security features, which are increasingly important as home networks carry more personal data and more connected devices.

The best router upgrades are the ones you feel immediately: fewer dead spots, faster downloads, smoother 4K streaming, and less “why is Zoom freezing?” drama. This deal is appealing because you’re paying budget-router money for a tri-band WiFi 6 model that’s meant for heavier use.

It’s also a smart buy if you’ve upgraded your internet plan, but your router is still older. A lot of people blame their ISP when the real bottleneck is the router struggling to manage modern device loads.

One quick reality check: if your home has multiple floors, thick walls, or you need flawless coverage in every corner, you may still prefer a mesh system. But for many homes, a capable tri-band router in a central spot is enough to make everything feel noticeably better.

At $124.97, the Netgear Nighthawk RAX70 is a really good value if you want a tri-band WiFi 6 router that can better handle lots of devices and busy household traffic. If you already run a mesh system or you need coverage across a very challenging layout, consider mesh instead, but for a straightforward router upgrade, this discount is hard to ignore.

Outdoor security cameras are not always practical if you live in an apartment or rental. Drilling into an exterior wall may be off-limits, while pointing a regular indoor camera through a window can create another problem once reflections start showing up after dark.

Baseus is trying to solve both issues with the new PrimeSentinel W1, a $69.99 security camera designed specifically to monitor the outdoors through glass. It mounts directly to a window without drilling and uses a 4K Starlight sensor with an F1.0 aperture for full-color monitoring during the day and at night.

Technology evolves every day, transforming how we live and work. Our devices are becoming more than tools we use. They are increasingly capable companions that help streamline day-to-day routines and spark creative ideas. If you have been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your tech setup, the Discover Samsung Shopping Event offers an opportunity to explore what connected, AI-powered living can look like.

With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.

Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
