Amazon offers the ASUS Blue Cave 802.11ac Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router for $99.99 shipped. Also available at Best Buy. Having dropped from $160, today’s offer saves you over 37%, matches our previous mention, and comes within $10 of the all-time low. Ditching the typical antenna-packed form that we often see with routers, ASUS has implemented a more aesthetically pleasing design here. But there’s more to Blue Cave than just good looks, as you’ll benefit from 2600Mb/s speeds, four Gigabit Ethernet ports, and four simultaneous download channels. Over 710 customers have left a 4.1/5 star rating. You can also learn more in our announcement coverage. More below.
Update: Google is currently offering a certified refurbished 3-pay of its Google WiFi System for $179 shipped. Originally selling for $299, this is one of the best prices we’ve tracked to date on the brand’s previous generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi router package. This mesh Wi-Fi system covers up to 4,500-sq. ft. and offers a maximum of 1.2Gbps network speeds. Each of the routers also feature dual Gigabit Ethernet ports. Includes a 1-year warranty. Over 12,000 shoppers have left a 4.8/5 star rating and its a #1 best-seller at Amazon. Learn more in our hands-on review.
For setups heavy on smart home devices, four Ethernet ports might not be enough to handle your hubs and the like. A great way to put some of your savings to work is with TP-Link’s 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch. At $20, this will give you plenty of flexibility for expanding your hardwired setup. Over 6,200 customers have left a 4.6/5 star rating. I had personally been using one of these, prior to making the switch to UniFi.
We’re also still tracking some offers on Monoprice Slimrun Cat6A Ethernet cables with up to 57% in savings to be had. Deals start at under $5, and you’ll find a variety of bundle packs and more to choose from right here.
