Amazon has lowered the price of the TP-Link Archer BE3600 wireless router to $79.98, which is a 33% discount off its list price and the lowest it has ever been on the platform. This sale occurs before the official Big Deal Days launch. The device includes Wi-Fi 7 support along with strong performance for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
The router features a flat, rectangular design with four antennas to ensure good wireless coverage. It comes equipped with one 2.5 Gbps WAN port, another 2.5 Gbps LAN port, three 1 Gbps ports, and a single USB 3.0 port for connecting printers or external hard drives. Setup is handled through the router’s web portal. However, it does not support the full Wi-Fi 7 specification because it lacks the 6 GHz band.
Despite this limitation, the router offers excellent performance at close range on the dominant 2.4 GHz band. The $79.98 price point makes it a strong value compared to other options and serves as a potential upgrade over ISP-issued routers or a secondary repeater. Ben Stockton, a deals writer at Tom’s Hardware, notes that prices are expected to return to normal once the sale event concludes later this week.
