It’s not enough to have a fast internet connection to your home. You also want speedy, reliable broadband service available anyplace inside where someone might want it, which means pretty much everywhere. You might not have many choices for internet service providers, especially if you want gigabit broadband. Inside your residence, however, the wireless router or routers can make a significant difference. Amazon discounted a variety of wireless routers for different purposes and home sizes from Netgear, TP-Link, and Linksys in its Labor Day sale.

Gamers, families with several people who stream different videos at the same time, people who work from home, and casual internet users have widely different needs. We chose wireless router deals for various applications. If you need a new router to pump up your home’s internet performance, these five deals can help you save up to $160. If you need something other than one of the routers below, there are many other appealing wireless router deals on Amazon from the same manufacturers.
