Labor Day is here which makes it the perfect time to shop for one of the best mesh Wi-Fi systems. There are plenty of affordable mesh routers out there but thanks to these deals, you can get a powerful mesh Wi-Fi system for a whole lot less than you’d normally pay.

Not sure if you really need a mesh router? Well, have you ever been in a certain area of your house where you just can’t get a good Wi-Fi signal no matter how hard you try? If that’s the case, then I highly recommend upgrading to a mesh router. Unlike one of the best Wi-Fi routers, mesh routers are made up of multiple devices (called satellites) that are spread throughout your home. That way, you get a strong connection in every part of your house and even out in the garage or backyard.

Finding the right mesh Wi-Fi system for your home can be difficult, but you don’t need to search through all the Labor Day sales out there, as I’ve rounded up the best mesh router deals out there. At Tom’s Guide, we’ve tested the best of the best, so I know which ones are ideal for your specific needs and budget.

Here are the 7 best Labor Day mesh router deals I’ve found that I’d buy with my own money.
