Save up to 43%: TP-Link home tech gear(opens in a new tab) is on sale as an Amazon Deal of the Day for Aug. 12. Save on a new mesh WiFi system, WiFi extenders, smart plugs, and more.


Reliable internet at home is crucial.

Whether that's for school purposes as a return to in-person routines get iffy or for entertainment purposes as football and Bachelor in Paradise return, there's no need to just deal with a spotty connection for another season.

A selection of TP-Link WiFi devices (among other items, like smart plugs and WiFi extenders) are between 20% and 43%(opens in a new tab) off as an Amazon daily deal. Here are some highlights:

TP-Link Deco X20 Mesh WiFi 6 System (2-pack)(opens in a new tab) — $139.99 (save $40)

One of TP-Link's newest mesh systems provides a quick and inexpensive patch job for homes slowed down by dead zones. The 2021 X20 is a cute, compact set that replaces your router with hefty dual-band WiFi 6 coverage. An extra layer of online security and parental controls are built in and controlled by the app.

A 3-pack of the X20 system(opens in a new tab), which covers 5,800 square feet rather than 4,000, is also on sale for $199.99 ($50 off). The TP-Link Deco P9 hybrid system(opens in a new tab), which uses a built-in powerline to extend coverage up to 6,000 square feet, is less well-reviewed but on sale for $159.99.

Kasa Smart Plug Mini (opens in a new tab)— $12.99 (save $10)

There's no hub required for TP-Link's clutch mini smart plugs. Once plugged into an open outlet, the plug can be connected to WiFi and controlled through the Kasa app. Then, whatever's plugged into the Kasa plug (like a lamp, fan, or holiday lights) can be put on a schedule, turned on or off when you're not home, or controlled by Alexa commands.
