The Pro 6E was Eero’s top-end mesh Wi-Fi router back in 2022, and it’s still a solid pick if you want fast, reliable Wi-Fi coverage around your multi-room or multi-story abode. It can also deliver beyond gigabit wired speeds if your internet plan supports it. Ahead of Prime Day 2026, Amazon and Best Buy have knocked down the cost of a three-pack, matching its best-ever price that we last saw ahead of the holidays in December 2025.
There are so, so many different Wi-Fi routers to choose between, and it’s confusing. The Eero Pro 6E tick a good number of boxes. For one, each tri-band router supports 2.4, 5, and 6GHz bands, meaning smart home tech won’t have an issue connecting to lower bands, nor will newer devices that can run unencumbered on the 6GHz band. Eero routers are known for being simple to setup, which is handy if you don’t know anything about home networking.
While each router can broadcast a speedy wireless signal (up to 1.3Gbps) across 2,000 square feet, routers furthest away from the modem will experience speed degradation. It’s normal across all mesh Wi-Fi systems, regardless of brand. Thankfully, the Pro 6E supports wired backhaul at 1Gbps speeds, letting you connect each of the Pro 6E nodes together via Ethernet to address it.

Dreame L20 Ultra robovac and mop hybrid , and the stellar Verge-exclusive deal we shared last week is still happening. Normally $349 (down from its $1,400 original price in 2023), it’s down to $279.20 while supplies last when you paste the code L20VERGE at checkout. At this price, the L20 Ultra is significantly better than other similarly-priced options. The vacuum itself is smart — it can quickly map your home’s layout, automatically empty its trash, and return to home base to have its mops cleaned (or removed, so that it doesn’t get high-pile carpets wet).

31.5-inch Asus Strix 4K QD-OLED gaming monitor (XG32UCDS) is down to $599 at Theis down to $599 at B&H Photo . It’s not common for a fairly large 4K OLED model to be this affordable. The flat 16:9 aspect ratio panel features a 165Hz refresh rate at 4K, HDR10 support, plus variable refresh rate support with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and Nvidia G-Sync compatibility. It includes one DisplayPort 1.4 input, two HDMI 2.1 ports, a USB-C input with 15W PD charging, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Asus covers it with a three-year warranty that also protects against panel burn-in. One thing I like about Asus OLEDs is their built-in proximity sensor that can turn off the panel (at configurable spans of time) when it doesn’t detect you nearby.
