If you remained employed and started working from home, are you still answering emails and taking calls from your couch? If so, your company’s decision to further extend (or permanently officialize) its work-from-home policy may soon force you into realizing a hard truth: Your spotty old WiFi setup just isn’t pulling its weight anymore. 

The last thing you want is your signal lagging or crapping out while you’re on deadline or Zooming with the boss. And if relocating, elevating, or turning your router off and on again doesn’t do the trick, you’re probably well overdue for an upgrade to a mesh WiFi network with stronger, more reliable coverage throughout your entire home.

Mesh systems are typically way more expensive than traditional routers, but trust us — it’s a worthy investment. If a big discount would sweeten the deal for you, get this: Best Buy is currently having a sale on a Linksys Velop mesh WiFi system with three satellites that envelops your home with up to 6,000 square feet of coverage. You can order one today for just $299.99, which is a savings of up to 43% depending on whether you get it in black or white.

The mesh system in question is a tri-band mesh system, specifically, which basically means it’s designed to handle a bunch of simultaneous connections. (If your roommates, partner, or kids also happen to be working/studying from home, that’s pretty ideal.) On top of that, it features something calls “Intelligent Mesh technology” that can both self-heal (redistribute the connection if a node gets unplugged) and self-select (find the clearest channel for all devices on the network) for high connection speeds. It’s also fully compatible with Amazon Alexa devices for effortless integration into your existing smart home setup. (“Alexa, ask Linksys to turn on the guest WiFi.”)

Best Buy has both versions of this Linksys Velop system listed at a $399.99 MSRP, but they actually retail for $499.99 (black) and $529.99 (white), per the company’s website. Translation: This is an even better deal than the retailer is letting on.

Grab a system in black or white for just $299.99 — a total savings of 40% or 43%, respectively.
