Best Black Friday Wi-Fi Router Deals (Image credit: Future)
Black Friday is once again upon us, and there’s no better time than now to upgrade your wireless network. Wi-Fi 7 has been around for a few years now, which means manufacturers have had enough time not only to expand their portfolios at the high end but also to deliver compelling entry-level SKUs that appeal to bargain shoppers.
When selecting a new Wi-Fi router, you’ll first want to decide whether to go with Wi-Fi 7, Wi-Fi 6E, or Wi-Fi 6. Most folks should opt for Wi-Fi 7, but if you’re on a budget, Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 6 options are available at even lower price points. Other things to consider are dual-band versus tri-band for Wi-Fi 7 routers, the number and speed of LAN ports, and whether you want to opt for a mesh system if you have larger square footage to cover.
Thankfully, there are plenty of deals on Wi-Fi routers from manufacturers like Asus, Linksys, Netgear, and TP-Link at retailers ranging from Amazon to Newegg to Best Buy. We have an exhaustive inventory of router reviews that we’ve conducted over the years, along with our best Wi-Fi routers page covering stellar entries ranging from sub-$100 to well over $1,000.
