A faster internet plan won’t necessarily fix a bedroom where Wi-Fi barely reaches. These five Amazon router deals cover different upgrades, from replacing an aging router to spreading coverage across several rooms or taking an existing eero network outside.

TP-Link Archer BE230 – $79.98 (33% off)

Replacing an aging router doesn’t have to mean buying a $400 mesh kit. The Archer BE230 costs under $80, with two 2.5Gbps ports that let a compatible wired device take advantage of faster-than-gigabit internet. Just don’t assume the Wi-Fi 7 badge includes everything: there’s no 6GHz band. For an inexpensive replacement, though, those faster Ethernet connections are a practical reason to pick it.

Key spec/featureDetails
Wi-Fi standardDual-band Wi-Fi 7
Wireless bands2.4GHz and 5GHz; no 6GHz
Ethernet portsOne 2.5Gbps WAN, one 2.5Gbps LAN, three Gigabit LAN
USBOne USB 3.0 port for shared storage
Mesh expansionEasyMesh support

Eero Pro 6E, 1-pack – $149.99 (25% off)

The Pro 6E has been around a while, but it still brings compatible phones and laptops onto the 6GHz band for $150. One unit can replace the main router or expand an existing eero setup, without buying a whole kit. Watch the ports, though: once the faster connection is occupied by the internet feed, the remaining Ethernet socket tops out at a gigabit.

Key spec/featureDetails
Wi-Fi standardTri-band Wi-Fi 6E
Wireless bands2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz
Ethernet portsOne 2.5Gbps port and one Gigabit port
Included unitsOne router
Network roleMain router or additional eero mesh node

TP-Link Deco BE63, 3-pack – $396.50 (16% off)

When the problem is a room that barely gets Wi-Fi, I’d put more thought into router placement than the biggest speed number on the box. This Deco kit provides three nodes for slightly less than the eero Pro 7 two-pack. Each also has four Ethernet ports for wired devices and links between nodes. The discount isn’t dramatic, but there’s plenty of hardware here.

Key spec/featureDetails
Wi-Fi standardTri-band Wi-Fi 7
Wireless bands2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz
Included unitsThree mesh nodes
Ethernet portsFour 2.5Gbps WAN/LAN ports per node
Connections between nodesWireless or Ethernet backhaul
Channel supportUp to 320MHz on 6GHz with compatible devices

Eero Pro 7, 2-pack – $399.99 (27% off)

The Pro 7 two-pack earns its place through faster wired connections. Each unit has two 5Gbps ports, which will interest eero households with internet service and equipment that can use them. Compared with the Deco kit, there’s one fewer node and fewer sockets per unit. For slower internet plans, those faster ports alone aren’t a reason to choose it over the Deco.

Key spec/featureDetails
Wi-Fi standardTri-band Wi-Fi 7
Wireless bands2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz
Included unitsTwo mesh routers
Ethernet portsTwo auto-sensing 5Gbps ports per unit
Wi-Fi 7 featuresMulti-Link Operation and up to 320MHz channels

Eero Outdoor 7 with power adapter – $309.99 (23% off)

Wi-Fi shouldn’t give up at the back door. The Outdoor 7 extends an existing eero network into a patio or yard, using weather-resistant hardware designed to live outside. This bundle includes the power adapter and costs $90 less than its list price. It’s a specific fix for eero households, though: it won’t join a mesh network built around another brand’s router.

Key spec/featureDetails
Wi-Fi standardDual-band Wi-Fi 7, using 2.4GHz and 5GHz
Weather resistanceIP66 dust and water resistance
Ethernet connectionOne 2.5Gbps PoE+ port
Included power supply30W weatherproof PoE+ adapter

Mesh compatibilityEero networks; does not mesh with other router brands

AI agents are acting like rogues and causing a huge headache for US banks
US banks block AI agents over fears they could make unauthorised financial moves
Banking

US banks are facing a new kind of digital headache: artificial intelligence agents attempting to access customer accounts and perform actions that may go beyond what users intended. As AI tools become more capable of navigating websites and carrying out tasks independently, financial institutions are scrambling to prevent them from crossing security boundaries.

According to a report published by Axios on October 22, major US banks have detected third-party AI agents operating inside customer accounts without authorisation. Some agents reportedly appeared to attempt actions independently of user instructions. The banks involved have not publicly detailed every incident, and there is no evidence that the reported activity resulted in widespread theft of customer funds.

Canva enters the AI image generation race with Craft, and it’s thinking beyond pretty pictures
The new model plans layouts before generating images, with precise editing and support for 30 aspect ratios.
Canva Craft Featured Image

AI can generate all kinds of pretty pictures, but getting it to spell a headline correctly or keep a poster's layout intact can be another story. Canva wants to fix that with Canva Craft, its first in-house image generation model. Rather than focusing primarily on photographs, Craft is designed around the posters, presentations, social media graphics, and other visual content people actually create. The goal is simple: spend less time fixing AI's mistakes and more time making something useful.

Mori might be the cutest AI companion robot yet, and it reacts to you like a pet
The Pokémon-like companion can blink, dance, act shy, and respond to what is happening around it.
OKA Mori The Nature Companion AI Home Robot

With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.

Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
