Amazon Prime Day Wi-Fi router deals: what to expect
Show more
While we've observed that basically every Wi-Fi router will see a Prime Day discount, the amount certainly varies across product categories and manufacturers.
Many of the biggest discounts we've seen have been on Amazon's own eero routers and kits, which gives some hint about Amazon's strategies for Prime Day – they can clearly afford to offer huge discounts and even potentially sell some of these products at a loss, especially if it's going to keep people around and buying other bits of equipment in Prime Day sales.
Move beyond those arguably cynical moves and you'll find more conventional discounts from more traditional router manufacturers. Most of the products we've evaluated in this group have kept their prices pretty steady for the past few months, so there's no clear evidence of artificial price inflation going on – perhaps because router companies know that tech-savvy buyers will be using browser extensions and tools to check for that sort of behavior when sales approach.
Several of the routers here have reasonable drops of between 8% and 30%, though you can expect some models – like the Linksys EA7300 mentioned here – to have a higher price reduction. That router has been around for a fair while now, hence the huge discount, but it's a perfectly good product for home networking, including streaming and playing online games, so don't rule out heavily-reduced Wi-Fi routers just because they've been around the block.
Happily, then, you should expect price drops on basically every Wi-Fi router as Prime Day approaches. The level of discount will vary, of course, and you should always do your research when it comes to figuring out what kind of Wi-Fi router you need.
Make sure you get an appropriate Wi-Fi standard: the older 802.11ac is fine for everyday use, but you should get a more capable 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 6E router if you want more connectivity and speed.
Check those speeds, check how many channels you get, and ensure your new router has a wide enough range – it's no good buying a product that won't cover all of your house.
Critically, check the security features to ensure you've got VPN, firewall, WPA3 encryption and other options if you'd like that extra protection, and check for appropriate numbers of USB ports Ethernet sockets depending on how many devices you'd like to connect.
Then, finally, read reviews online, check prices at a range of different retailers and make sure you're buying within budget – even when taking Prime Day discounts into account.
Amazon Prime Day Wi-Fi router deals: FAQs

Is there another Amazon Prime Day in 2024?
Though Amazon hasn't confirmed dates for a second Prime Day, in previous years we've seen sales open up again in October, followed by Black Friday in November.
Will I need an Amazon Prime subscription to get Prime Day Wi-Fi Router deals?
Yep. And that's fine if you're already a paid-up Prime member who's familiar with the service. But if this is new for you, don't worry about spending more cash to access the deals – the thirty-day free trial for new members means you can sign up, get those all-important tech savings and cancel before spending anything extra.
How do I become an Amazon Prime member?
You need to be an Amazon Prime member in order to get access to Prime Day deals, which costs $14.99 per month or $139 for a year.
However, new subscribers can take advantage of the 30-day Amazon Prime free trial to buy the deals. You can only use this if you've never been a member before, so it won't be available if you've used it already or if you've signed up for Amazon Prime in the past.
While on the free trial, you get all the other membership benefits including free shipping, access to Prime Video and much more. Do read our Amazon Prime review for full coverage of what you get as part of a membership. That can help you decide if you want to cancel Amazon Prime once your free trial has ended to avoid being charged the monthly fee.
