Remember when a Wi-Fi router that supported speeds up to 1 Gbps was considered fast? Yeah, well those days are long gone and if you want to futureproof your next router purchase, you need a model that supports the new Wi-Fi 6 standard. As the name might suggest, Wi-Fi 6 offers speeds up to a blazing-fast 6 Gbps, and the NETGEAR Nighthawk AX8 WiFi 6 Next-Gen Router is one of our favorite new models that offers the new standard. It’s a tough pill to swallow at $400, but Amazon is currently running the first ever sale on this model and it slashed the price all the way down to $299.88. Grab one soon though, because it’s selling fast and will probably soon sell out completely.
