If you're in the market for a new wireless router, there's no shortage of excellent options on the market. If you scroll through Amazon, you can't throw a stick without hitting a TP-Link router… or two… or three. The company's routers are value-priced and generally offer strong performance compared to peers. So naturally, there are excellent deals on a variety of TP-Link Wi-Fi 7 routers during the lead-up to Black Friday, including some we have already reviewed on this site. They include the Deco BE63 mesh router, on sale for as low as $269.99, and the Archer BE3600 Wi-Fi 7 Travel Router, available for just $89.99 after a coupon.

The Deco BE63 is a great mid-range, tri-brand Wi-Fi 7 mesh router that we reviewed earlier this year. I liked it so much that I bought a two-pack for my own house and connected the two wireless nodes via a CAT6e wired backhaul. The mesh system is capable of 574 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band, 4,324 Mbps on the 5 GHz band, and 5,188 Mbps on the 6 GHz band.

You can use Smart Connect, which uses a single SSID and selects the optimal band for your wireless client based on current conditions, or create a separate SSID for each band. There are also options to create MLO, Guest, and IoT networks, providing even more flexibility for your wireless network.

For wired operations, the Deco BE63 offers four 2.5 GbE ports and one USB 3.0 port per node.

During Amazon's current sale, you can grab a Deco BE63 two-pack for just $269.99 or a three-pack for $369.99.

If you pick up the Deco BE63 and want to extend coverage outdoors, you might also consider the Deco BE25 Outdoor, an IP65-rated satellite. You can connect the Deco BE25 Outdoor to your existing network with a wired backhaul or opt for the easy-to-set-up wireless backhaul. Depending on your network layout, you could experience some pretty significant wireless performance gains in your backyard or any outdoor area that needs additional coverage. And with a sale price of $119.99, it's an affordable solution for users with this very specific need.

Finally, TP-Link's newly released BE3600 Wi-Fi 7 Travel Router, which we recently reviewed. This is a dual-band travel router that can be powered via a portable power bank. It can connect to the internet via a traditional home modem, a cellular USB modem, or even your smartphone via USB.

It can also create its own private Wi-Fi network, which is great for use in a hotel room, or even on an airplane or cruise ship, where you're often charged a connection fee per device.

The BE3600 carries an MSRP of $139.99 but is currently available for $89.99 after a $10 coupon (10WIFI7TPL). On a side note, if you have an Amazon Prime Rewards Visa, you'll receive an additional 15 to 20 percent cash back on the total purchase price of the routers and satellites mentioned here.
