There’s nothing worse than slow internet or Wi-Fi dead zones around your home, especially when you’re in the middle of shopping for Black Friday deals. While you might have your eye on a new phone or a new laptop, picking up one of the best Wi-Fi routers or even one of the best mesh Wi-Fi systems is the kind of upgrade that will make a big difference for your entire household.

Whether you’re an early adopter after the latest and greatest wireless tech or don’t want to have to worry about upgrading later on, there’s never been a better time to pick up one of the best Wi-Fi 7 routers. You now have a lot more options to choose from than you did last year, and there are already plenty of big discounts on several of our favorite traditional routers and mesh routers.

Although the best Wi-Fi 6E routers give you access to the faster 6 GHz band, with Wi-Fi 7, you get a bunch of other new features along with even faster speeds. My favorite though is Multi-Link Operation which lets your Wi-Fi 7-equipped devices use multiple bands (think 2.4 Ghz, 5 Ghz and 6 Ghz) simultaneously. Not only does this speed things up overall, but it also reduces latency while giving you a more reliable connection overall.

These are the best deals I’ve found on Wi-Fi 7 routers and mesh routers so far, but if you don’t see something you like yet, keep checking back as I’ll be updating this page with new products as they go on sale. Also, check out our guide on the best Amazon promo codes for more tips and ways to save on everything else you might need for your home home network from Ethernet cables to surge protectors.

TP-Link Archer BE9300
TP-Link Archer BE9300: was $299 now $199 at Amazon

This may be a traditional router, but it has a brand new look without an antenna in sight. Instead, all six of the TP-Link BE9300’s are internal and it also features the company’s new V-Fold design language. Around back, you get five 2.5G Ethernet ports which are perfect for multi-gig internet along with a USB port for sharing data from a flash drive across your home network. The BE9300 has a range of 2,000 square feet but thanks to TP-Link’s Easy-Mesh, you can also build a mesh network around it if you need even more coverage.

TP-Link Archer BE19000: was $599 now $349 at Amazon

If you like the look and design of the BE9300 but want even faster speeds, more ports and a customizable LED screen on the front, then the TP-Link Archer BE1900 could be the perfect choice. On the front of the router, there’s a big dot display that can show everything from the time to the weather and even emoji. On the back of the BE1900, there are four 2.5G ports along with two 10G ports, a USB port and even an SPF+ port for fiber internet. In our TP-Link Archer BE1900 review, we were quite impressed with the LED screen and its functionality along with the router’s built-in security software and how it can act as a VPN client or server.

Just like TP-Link did with its Wi-Fi 7 routers, Netgear is also using a new design for its Wi-Fi 7-powered Nighthawk routers. The Nighthawk RS700S has an all-black cylindrical design and around back, there’s a 10G input port, four gigabit Ethernet ports and a 10G one as well as USB port. It offers even more Wi-Fi coverage at 3,500 square feet and supports up to 200 connected devices simultaneously. In our Netgear Nighthawk RS700S review, we were impressed by its customization options and the included one-year subscription to Netgear's Armor securit software.

TP-Link Archer GE800: was $599 now $399 at Amazon

Besides traditional routers and mesh routers, there are also gaming routers designed to optimize your online gaming experience. The TP-Link Archer GE800 is one of the first Wi-Fi 7-powered gaming routers and along with a brand new design, it also has integrated RGB lighting. As for ports, you get four 2.5G Ethernet ports along with two 10G Ethernet ports and an SFP+ port for fiber internet. In our TP-Link Archer GE800 review, we really liked how one of its 2.5G Ethernet ports doubles as a dedicated gaming port along with all of its other gaming features like game port forwarding and game acceleration.

Arris SURFboard G54
Arris SURFboard G54: was $599 now $499 at Amazon

If you're upgrading to Wi-Fi 7, then you might need to swap out your old cable modem for a faster, more modern one as well. With the Arris SURFboard G54, you can do both at the same time as this is a modem/router combo. Around back, you get a 10 Gbps Ethernet port along with four gigabit ones and of course, a coaxial input to plug it into the wall. Normally, we'd recommend having two separate devices but if you're short on space, the G54 could be a great choice. Arris makes some of the best cable modems, so with this deal, you're getting a capable Wi-Fi 7 router that can cover up to 5,000 square feet with a strong Wi-Fi signal and a multi-gig cable modem in one, much smaller package.

Netgear Nighthawk RS700S: was $699 now $594 at Amazon

Although it may look like a mesh router, the Netgear Nighthawk RS700S is a traditional Wi-Fi router with a brand-new design. Netgear has completely overhauled its standalone routers to give them a smaller footprint while accommodating its new high-performance antennas. The Nighthawk RS700S features a 10 Gbps input port, a 10 Gbps Ethernet port, four gigabit Ethernet ports and a USB port for sharing data across your network. In our Nighthawk RS700S review, we were impressed by its middle distance performance where other routers often fall short and really liked all of the different customization options. If this particular model is a bit out of your price range or too powerful for your needs, the Nighthawk RS500 is also on sale for just $350 @ Amazon, which is $50 off its normal price.

TP-Link Deco BE63
Editor's Choice
TP-Link Deco BE63: was $799 now $449 at Amazon

The only thing better than a Wi-Fi 7 router is a Wi-Fi 7-powered mesh system and even in a three-pack, the TP-Link Deco BE64 is very affordable for what you get. With three units, it can cover up to 7,600 square feet with support for more than 200 connected devices. On the back of each device, there are four 2.5G Ethernet ports, a USB port and a WPS button for quickly adding new devices to your home network. In our TP-Link Deco BE63 review, we were impressed by how TP-Link managed to bring the price down without sacrificing strong performance and built-in security software.

Netgear Orbi 770: was $999 now $799 at tomsguide.com

If you want a Wi-Fi 7-powered mesh kit from Netgear, then the Orbi 770 series is a fantastic choice. This three-piece kit can cover up to 8,000 square feet and each unit supports up to 100 connected devices simultaneously. Around back, you get a 2.5 Gbps input port along with three more 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports. Unlike the more expensive Orbi RBE973, you only get a 30-day trial for Netgear's Armor security software. Still, this is a very fast mesh Wi-Fi system in our Netgear Orbi 770 review we reached speeds of 1.72 Gbps at a a distance of 15 feet from our main router.

Asus ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro: was $1,299 now $1,128 at Amazon

If pure speeds are what you’re after and you don’t need a three-piece mesh Wi-Fi system, then the Asus ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro is an excellent choice. In fact, it’s the fastest Wi-Fi 7 router we’ve tested yet with a max download speed of over 2.5 Gbps at a distance of 15 feet. The ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro only comes in a two-pack but it can cover up to 8,000 square feet with a strong Wi-Fi signal and you also get free built-in security software with this mesh kit. Around back, there are two 10 Gbps Ethernet ports along with four gigabit ones and a USB port. In our ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro review, we were blown away by its speeds, the fact that it’s a quad-band Wi-Fi 7 router with two 6 Ghz bands and by how you can plug your phone into its USB port with your mobile hotspot enabled to keep your home network going during an internet outage.

eero Max 7

eero Max 7: was $1,699 now $1,299 at Amazon

If a simple setup process and smart home connectivity is what you’re after, then the eero Max 7 is another great Wi-Fi 7 mesh system from Amazon’s eero. Around back, you get two 2.5G and two 10G Ethernet ports and unlike most other mesh routers, this one uses a USB-C port for power instead of a barrel jack connector. A three-pack can cover up to 7,500 square feet with support for over 200 connected devices. If you want to extend your mesh network out into the backyard, eero just released the eero Outdoor 7 and this weatherproof mesh extender adds an additional 15,000 square feet of outdoor coverage. In our eero Max 7 review, we were impressed by its up-close performance and liked how it can be used as a smart home hub thanks to built-in Matter, Thread and Zigbee support.
