Amazon is offering ASUS’ RT-AX68U Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Gaming Router for $159.99 shipped.

If you’ve been holding out to add Wi-Fi 6 coverage to your home network, this is a rock-solid way to go. ASUS’ RT-AX68U brings with it dual-band speeds up to 2,700Mb/s with a tripple antenna array. This gaming router is also backed by AiMesh, so you can pair it with other compatible routers for seamless connection throughout the home.

Update 7/13 @ 6:52 PM: Amazon now offers TP-Link’s AC1200 Wi-Fi Range Extender for $35.12 shipped. Down from $50, this solid 30% cut is the biggest we’ve tracked, and marks a new all-time low. This device instantly adds up to 1,500-square feet of range to your existing 802.11ac router, with dual-band speeds up to 1.2Gb/s. Complete with universal compatibility and a Gigabit Ethernet port.
