Netgear tells me that the deal will be alive until November 30, which is Cyber ​​Monday.

At any rate, if you’re looking forward to sales on the fastest, most reliable mesh system we’ve ever tested, this is the week.

It doesn’t support Wi-Fi 6, but the built-in WiFi mesh router is still equipped with enough advanced features to make it look more stable, reliable, and upgrade better than its weight. The system’s main router is a slightly larger device on the left in the image above, and it will work on its own without any range-extended nest WiFi point smart speakers. It usually costs 16 9,169, but this week, Google is offering it for $ 139.

It’s not a bad deal, but if you’re just getting started, you’ll get a two-pack with a router and an extender at the usual $ 269k pack MBo price (those extenders cost 150 on their own). . However, if you use the first-gen Google WiFi Mash system in your home, you can swap into a Nest WiFi router and use it with your first-gen Google WiFi extensions for faster and better performance.

Here’s another Nest WiFi deal, this time from Bydig: a two-pack of Nest WiFi routers in Est 219, plus two free Deco Gear smart plugs once you add a deal to your cart.

Here are some things to know. First, the Nest WiFi Router is the central brain of the Nest WiFi mesh, and does not include built-in Google-assisted smart speakers such as range-extended Nest WiFi points. That said, you can also use another Nest WiFi router as a range extender, so the deal is basically the same as Nest WiFi Two-Pack which usually costs $ 269. You are simply replacing the range extender with another router.

This means that you’re losing control of the built-in Google Assistant and voice, but you’ll also see a little better performance (the router is a bit stronger than the range extender). About smart plugs, I’m not familiar with Deco Gear and we haven’t tested their content, but they claim to work with both Alexa and Google Assistant. If you already use any of those voice assistants, then this deal got a little better. Read our nest wifi review.

Amazon

The Aero Pro6 is a fixture version of Amazon’s new Wi-Fi 6 mesh router, and it adds speed and an additional 5GHz band to help improve the system’s performance. It tests well, and also offers a lot of value at a full price with a $ 599 three-pack at $ 400 less than the comparable Netgear Orby AX6000 setup.

Now, for Black Friday week, Amazon has those three-packs marked down to 479, which is as good as I’ve ever seen for a three-piece, Tribe and ND mesh router that supports Wi-Fi 6. It has ordered back until December 18, so you’ll have to wait a few weeks for it to arrive, but the deal is now alive and Amazon is taking orders. Read our Ero Pro 6 review.

It’s not the latest version of Aero that supports Wi-Fi 6, but last year’s Aero Mash router was well tested on the CNET Smart Home, and you just saved $ 75d, saving just three duplicate setups on Amazon. Can get.

Meanwhile, a new version of the Arrow is on sale, too (it’s called the Ero 6), but it wasn’t as reliable in my tests as last year’s version, so read my review before buying. Read our Ero (2019) review.

TP-Link

The Archer AX20 is one of TP-Link’s entry-level Wi-Fi 6 routers. With a dual-band design and AX1800 speed, it won’t be a game-changer for your entire home network, but it will still help you get a little faster Wi-Fi performance from any Wi-Fi 6 devices. Owned, it can be a sensible upgrade for anyone who has just bought a new iPhone.

The router usually sells for $ 130, but TP-Link ranks it as ડ 100 to the beginning of the Black Friday week special.

TP-Link

This TP-Link mesh router is basically the same thing as Amazon’s Arrow 6, at least as far as specs are concerned. Both are dual-band AX1800 systems that support Wi-Fi 6, and both three-packs typically sell for $ 270. But for now, you can get the TP-Link system in P230, which is yours. Saves 40.

Don’t care about Wi-Fi 6? The TP-Link Deco M5 system is last year’s Wi-Fi 5 model – the three-piece system usually costs 170, but it’s only available for 150 150, saving you a whopping 20 20. Can.

Netgear

The typical starting price for this high-speed Wi-Fi 6 router is $ 300, which is a fairly low price for an acceptable dual-band model with no extra 5GHz band. Sit tight, though, because on Saturday, November 28th. (The day after Black Friday), Best Buy’s sale price will be reduced by 50%. This is great for a router capable of hitting a top speed of 8.8 Gbps.

Linksys

If you are not looking for a router upgrade, and instead, just want a good deal on something simple and functional, you may want to consider the Linksys EA6350. It’s a pretty basic Wi-Fi 5 router, but it’ll do the job for browsing and streaming lights.

From Saturday, November 28 (again, Black Friday is the next day), Best Buy will offer it at 55 DL for 15 L less than the current sale price and $ 35 less than the normal retail price.

Netgear

It doesn’t support Wi-Fi 6, but the AC1200 version of NetGir Orbi is still a solid and reliable mesh router, and was impressed by the surprisingly strong signal strength when we tested it on the CNET Smart Home. At the time, I valued the two-piece version of the system at a whopping 9 129 – now, as an early Black Friday special at Walmart, you can get a three-part version with an extra range extender for just $ 99.

A three-piece mesh system like this one to cover a large-sized home with a stable, reliable Wi-Fi connection, and તમે 99 is as low as you’ll ever see the well-reviewed, name. Brand option like this one. If you have a lot of land to cover your home’s Wi-Fi network and you’re sick of the Dead Zone, then this is a deal to break. Note that this is appearing out of stock for some CNET staff, but not others, so availability (and perhaps price) may depend on your location. Read our Netgir bi rbi AC 1200 review.

Linksys

I haven’t reviewed this particular model, but one of my CNET predecessors on the Wi-Fi Beat was a fan of the previous version of 2017, calling it “a right-of-way for small homes.” This one, the Lynx MR8300, is almost identical – an AC 2200 router with four antennas and two 5GHz bands.

The best thing about it is the Tribe & nd design, and the fact that you can use it with other Linksy Max stream devices to create your own mesh network. An additional 5GHz band will help keep your entire home moving faster if you choose to go that route. Now, ahead of Black Friday, you can get it at 30d off on Best Buy, where it has a review average of 4.6 with over 1,000 five-star reviews.

Amazon

Amazon-owned Ero released two new mesh routers this fall: the Ero 6 and Ero Pro 6. Both have full support for Wi-Fi 6, but the Ero Pro 6 has faster top speeds and will add another 5 GHz band to the dedicated backhull router. And transmission between its range-extending satellites. If you want to make your Mash router the most Wi-Fi 6, that’s the key upgrade.

The Aero Pro 6 is not cheap at 5 9599 for a three-pack, but you can spend less than other high-end, Tribund Mesh routers that support Wi-Fi 6, including our top picks like the Asus Zenfify AX Happens. And the AX6000 version of the Netgear bi-rabi. And, if you want to wait a few more days for delivery, Amazon will include a free Fire TV Cube for shoppers via the link below. That’s a pending deal from Prime Day, but it’s a good offer for a mesh system that holds up well in our tests. Read our Ero Pro 6 review.
