If you want to drop gaming-specific features, then you could save some cash and upgrade to Wi-Fi 6 with the TP-Link Archer AX21 Dual-Band Router for $80 after clipping the on-page coupon. Wi-Fi 6 is one of the newer wireless internet standards and can achieve higher throughput with lower latency over 2.4GHz and 5GHz, though this entry-level router will see a total speed of up to 1,800Mb/s across both bands. The four antennas use beamforming technology to ensure strong coverage across its range with four Gigabit Ethernet ports on the back for connecting hardwired devices like TVs, desktops, and more.
With your new wireless internet, you can have more confidence in smart home devices having reliable coverage. So now is the time to check out the Philips Hue Gradient Ambiance Lightstrip for $102.
