The return of Prime Day deals with Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days 2023 means other retailers are also rolling out discounts, and for PlayStation 5 owners, that includes SSD deals from Best Buy. Since the PS5 only comes with 825GB of internal storage, additional capacity is a must to be able to install more of the best PS5 games. You can get these internal SSDs for much cheaper right now, but you’ll need to act fast because stocks may already be running low.

Best router Cyber Monday deals: Save on mesh networks and more
Wi-Fi routers sitting on a table.

With the launch of Cyber Monday deals, now is a great time to grab a better router, especially if you want to take advantage of Wi-Fi 6 technology. Even if it's a few years old, your current router is probably fine, but with the improvements in technology for connecting to the internet or a Wi-Fi network, you should think about buying from the router Cyber Monday deals that are available right now. Fortunately, there are several great budget options for routers with the latest features, as well as for mesh routers that can cover wider areas when you need to connect a lot of devices at the same time. Check out the router Cyber Monday deals that we've gathered below.

Routers are a great option if you don't have a large home or need to cover a lot of square footage, and putting them near you means that you get much better speeds and lower latency when connecting through Wi-Fi. Of course, that may not always be an option, so it's important to know what sort of capacity and speeds routers can do. Most routers will have an "AX" followed by a set of numbers that dictates the maximum speed it can reach, and the rule of thumb is generally that this maximum speed only applies when you're really close to the router, so the further out you go, the less speed you'll get. It's not perfect, but generally more powerful routers that can hit higher speeds will be able to connect at higher speeds further away, although its always best to check the actual real-world performance of a router before taking the plunge.
