Looking for a router under $400.
Willing to wait for Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales which are just a month away.
Are there any recommendations which I can keep eye on for any deals on them? Thanks.

Thanks a lot for recommending it.
One of friends has TP-Link Archer BE550 Wi-Fi 7 Router and happy with it. Any idea how is Flint 3 compared to this and which is better ?
Do you think Flint 3 price may drop in upcoming Black Friday or Cyber Monday sale anywhere?
Sorry one more question, there were multiple discussions saying better to get Flint 2 instead of 3 if you do not have any Wifi 7 device. What’s your opinion on it?
Thanks.
Flint often have their routers on sale on Amazon.
Flint 2:
Better specs no 6GHzFlint 3:
Slightly lower specs with 6GHzJust from reading comments and forum posts it sounds like 6GHz is great for aparments where you have a lot of Wifi interference but might not be as useful in a house where the range and penetration through walls is much lower.

Dude, you once made a post asking how to clean photos… you should think about your own post history before telling others to do their own research. Particularly when they're asking about what is a good value item on a bargain website.
Thanks for the reminder, unfortunately didn't found a helpful answer. Unrelated, wanna cookie?
Btw for routers, everyone in their unique situation, eg types of walls, number of floors, location of broadband source, locations of client devices, etc. Its not matter of $ value that need spending 😉
Edgerouter ER-8. It's about $180 and it moves packets.
Hard to recommend without knowing your requirements (other than your budget).
My current favorite it's the Ubiquity UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra (UCG-Ultra), it's usually under $200

Agree with this, anything Unify or ASUS. They aren't the cheapest but are the best.
I bought the Mercusys BE3600 wifi 7 (3-pack) for $220 on prime day
The money I saved, I got my house data cabled.Having wired backhaul is better then any $800+ Mesh system still on wireless backhaul
Cabling + mercusys 3 pack surely would have been over $400?
yeah you are correct.
Buy cheap mesh system now, save bit more do house cabling later :)
Bought the Asus RT AX87U Pro on special on Prime for $239 now $400
Just wait for the deals to come upASUS RT-BE86U
It was $399 during a previous amazon sale so good chance it will be again.
Can I get a new skin to route CAT 7 cables?
Love the link.
Get a used Cisco router based on the requirements as most home routers are way to simple compared to a cisco router.
Just saw this
Tenda Nova Wifi 7 - 3 pack mesh
https://www.amazon.com.au/Tenda-Multi-Gigabit-Supports-Seaml…TPLink Festa FR205
8 port, gigabit router, $79
or
TPLink Omada ER205
for $85then spend up to $300 on decent wireless access points from the matching range.
Without a shadow of any doubt - get the Flint 3. Amazing thing!
