It makes me cringe a little bit to throw around the term “first world problem,” but it works pretty well to capture of feeling of dealing with slow internet. Having a page never load or seeing a TikTok come to a full stop halfway through to buffer fills me with quiet rage—especially when its happening in the comfort of your own home. The good news is you can do something about it. Perhaps its time to upgrade your home router. Amazon has the TP-Link Wi-Fi 7 tri-band router selling for a 40% discount: This unit normally goes for $249, but the deal takes it down by a full $100. That brings the price you pay to just $149 for a limited time.
Supporting three different bands on one router, the TP-Link BE9300 will allow you to reach super fast upload and download speeds of up to 5,760 Mbps. That’s when using the 6 Ghz band. You can simultaneously run a 5 GHz band that supports up to 2,880 Mbps as well as a 2.4 GHz band that supports up to 574 Mbps. When using the fastest Wi-Fi band, you can expect to be able to stream 4K and 8K media without experiencing any slowdown. You can even stream AR or VR content to a headset without lag. The slower bands are great for adding smart devices to your network that don’t need those high speeds such as smart lights.
Mesh Network Ready
Even at its wide coverage range of up to 2,000 sq. ft, it’s possible you may still experience imperfect internet connection in every corner of your house—or perhaps you want your Wi-Fi to be able to reach even into your backyard. If this is the case, you’ll be happy to know that the TP-Link BE9300 router is mesh network ready. You can combine this unit with an EasyMesh router, range extender, or wireless powerline adapter to work at fully eliminating those infuriating dead zones throughout your home.
Though even if you’re not using a mesh network, the TP-Link Wi-Fi 7 router is able to optimize it’s signal to provide you with better reliability. It can detect where you have a cluster of devices. Perhaps this is a living room where you have a smart TV and a handful of gaming consoles like the PlayStation 5 or Nintendo Switch 2 (plus everyone hanging out in their on their phones). In these cases, the router can concentrate it’s signal toward that room to create a better connection on these devices.
