Although Amazon’s Big Prime Day Deals don’t officially start off until Tuesday, October 7, you can pick up one of the best mesh Wi-Fi systems at a steep discount right now. If you're using that slow, underpowered router from your ISP or just want complete, wall-to-wall connectivity, now is the perfect time to upgrade your home network.

So far, there are already great deals to be had on affordable Wi-Fi 6 mesh kits such as the eero 6+ for under $200, even faster Wi-Fi 6E mesh routers like the TP-Link Deco XE75 for $229, and the latest Wi-Fi 7 systems like the Netgear Orbi 770 for $699.

As someone who covers Wi-Fi routers and mesh systems extensively for Tom's Guide, these recommendations come with my stamp of approval, based on our team's comprehensive testing and my own real-world experience. While these are just early deals, I expect to see even bigger price drops next week, so stay tuned as I’ll be updating this list throughout the sale.

These are the best early Big Prime Day Deals on mesh routers for whole-home connectivity that I personally recommend.
