My Favorite Amazon Deal of the Day: Eero Mesh Wifi Router

Amazon's early Prime Day deals are here, with deals on school supplies, TVs, Blink security cameras, and more leading up to Prime Day on July 16. Yet another deal has arrived, this time on an Eero router, which can help your wifi reach every area in your home. Amazon has a single router that expands your wifi up to 1,500 square feet for $39.99 (originally $69.99) or a three-pack that expands it to 4,500 sq. ft. for $99.99 (originally $214.96).

Mesh wifi is great if you can justify the cost for the extra devices. It doesn't make your internet faster per se, it just expands your same router speed to different points in your house so the whole house (ideally) is covered. Mesh wifi uses nodes or points that you can physically put around your home where the signal is weak so your devices seamlessly connect to the one with the best connection as you move around the home. It's like copying and pasting your router to different places.

The Eero router expands your reach up to 1,500 square feet, and each router works as a router or "extender." One of the Eero devices must be connected to your router physically with an ethernet cable. The other two just need to be plugged in with their power cord and be within a certain distance of the main router.

If you're more of a Google person, the three-pack Google Nest Wifi Routers are also available for $155.23 (originally $349.99). They work the same way but extend your wifi up to 5,400 square feet and each point doubles as a Google smart speaker.
