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% off as an Amazon daily deal. Here are some highlights:

TP-Link Deco X20 Mesh WiFi 6 System (2-pack) —$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, 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, 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.
