Linksys’ Velop 802.11ac Mesh System packs 2.2Gb/s speeds at $300 (Save $100)

$400/$300

Best Buy’s official eBay storefront is currently offering the Linksys Velop WHW0303B Mesh 802.11ac Wi-Fi Router System for $299.99 shipped. Also available directly at Best Buy. Down from its usual $400 going rate, today’s offer marks the best we’ve seen since February, saves you 25%, and comes within $20 of the all-time low. Even though Wi-Fi 6 has arrived, this system is a great option to hold you over until more devices support the standard a few years down the line. It delivers up to 6,000-square feet of coverage alongside 2.2Gb/s performance thanks to the three nodes. There’s also HomeKit router support in the works, as well as six Gigabit Ethernet ports and more. Rated 4.3/5 stars from over 870 customers.

A solid alternative to the lead deal for those who don’t need as much coverage is Ubiquiti’s AmpliFi Instant Mesh Wi-Fi System at $180. This option offers up to 4,000-square feet with 802.11ac coverage and even VPN support, allowing you to enjoy browsing privacy no matter which network you’re connected to.
