Oh man do I sure hate having spotty internet. Nothing fills me with more quiet rage than having a video stop right in the middle of it, while refreshing does nothing to help. Is that my phone addiction talking? Perhaps, but that’s something to be interrogated another day. Right now, I just want my TikToks to load without buffering. If you feel the same, it might be time to upgrade your home router. Right now, Amazon has the TP-Link BE6500 dual-band Wi-Fi 7 router selling for 36% off.

No More Spotty Internet

Wi-Fi 7 is the latest and greatest of wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi isn’t actually short for anything). The point is, you can achieve high-speeds with a total bandwidth of 6.5 Gbps across the dual bands. On the 5Ghz band, you’ll be capable of reaching up to 5,764 Mbps while the 2.4Ghz band get get up to 688 Mbps. At these speeds, you can enjoy seamless streaming in 4K or even 8K resolutions and stream AR and VR games to a headset from a PC over your network—not to mention benefit from super fast uploading and downloading of massive files.

The reverse side of the TP-Link router houses one 2.5 Gbps WAN/LAN port, one 2.5 Gbps LAN port, and three 1 Gbps LAN ports so you can maintain a solid wired connection with high speeds for a desktop PC.

Coverage is strong with the TP-Link BE6500 dual-band Wi-Fi 7 router. This unit can stretch its reach across homes up to 2,400 square feet and be connected to up to 90 devices at a time. That’s enough for every phone, tablet, laptop, TV, and gaming console in the whole family—plus any smart product like an Amazon Echo smart speaker, doorbell camera, smart thermostat, lightbulbs, or what-have-you.

If you need more coverage than that, the TP-Link router is EasyMesh ready. That means you can pair it with any other EasyMesh-compatible router or range extender to expand your coverage across a wider area, or ever outside your home into the backyard with the right outdoor model.

Setup is fairly easy. Just download the Tether App and follow the onscreen instructions to replace your old router with this one, and you’ll be ready in a matter of minutes. The app can also be used to manage firmware updates, view network status, block users, and set parental controls as needed.
