Amazon’s October Prime Day event kicks off tomorrow and while you may be considering picking up a new TV or even a laptop, upgrading to one of the best mesh Wi-Fi systems is the kind of investment your whole family can take advantage of on all of their devices.
Unlike with one of the best Wi-Fi routers, mesh Wi-Fi systems or mesh routers include a main unit that connects to your cable modem along with several satellites you spread throughout your home. This way, you have a strong internet connection wherever you go — from your garage all the way out to your backyard.
If you’ve noticed that there are Wi-Fi dead zones in parts of your home or your internet speeds drop off quickly the farther you move away from your existing router, then a mesh router is exactly what you need. While you may have considered picking up one of the best Wi-Fi extenders to push your internet connection farther, these devices require you to switch networks as you move throughout your home. With a mesh router though, you have a single, seamless connection and don’t need to switch networks at all.
Although mesh routers used to be quite expensive, they’ve come down in price as their popularity has grown. In fact, we’ve also rounded up the best cheap mesh Wi-Fi systems that can all be had for less than $100. Some of our picks from that list are on sale for Prime Big Day Deals but you’ll also be able to snag some premium mesh routers for a heavily discounted price.
With so many early deals to choose from, I’ve picked out 7 we’ve either reviewed at Tom’s Guide or that I have personally tested myself. Regardless of which mesh Wi-Fi system you decide to go with, you’re going to notice a huge difference over your current Wi-Fi router, and this is especially true if you’re still renting one from your Internet provider.
While these are the early sales that caught my eye so far, there will be even more discounts when Amazon’s next Prime Day sale event kicks off tomorrow on Oct. 10. So if you’re after a deal on a particular model, be sure to check back later.
