It support USB 2 only, which is a bit slow in 2025, but this is more of a charging / peripheral cable than fast external storage.

Here's the scenario. You've got an old PC and it hasn't got Wi-Fi. You don't want to spend a tonne of money to give it Wi-Fi. This sub $10 Wi-Fi 6 USB dongle will give you the Wi-Fi connection that you need.

It works without a driver for Windows 10 and 11, and it will most likely work with Linux, but you'll need to take an extra step.

This deal is a dollar over the $13 budget, but this quirky device combines an under-desk headphone hook and a 20W PD USB charger with one USB-C and two USB-A ports. It brings a bit of extra convenience and tidiness to your desk setup for not a lot of money.
