Buying guide

Best time to buy Wi-Fi routers & mesh systems — without falling for a fake discount

Networking gear leans on inflated list prices, so a “sale” is often the everyday price. Timing and a real check separate the two.

When Wi-Fi routers & mesh systems tend to be cheapest

Genuine lows land at Prime Day and Black Friday, and when a new Wi-Fi standard (e.g. Wi-Fi 7) pushes the prior generation down.

How to tell a real deal from a fake one

22%

of this week’s advertised Amazon “deals” weren’t genuinely below their usual price — a discount off an inflated or invented “was”. See the Fake Deal Index →

A router at a real low sits near its yearly floor. Check the current price against its history, not the marketing discount.

The honest signal is simple: is the current price genuinely low against the item’s own 12-month history — or just below a made-up list price? Paste any product and we’ll tell you straight: BUY, WAIT, SKIP or FAIR.
