Why You Can Trust CNET The Netgear Nighthawk AC2100 dual-band router is now just $79
This 2,100Mbps wireless router is currently selling for half-price.
If you need a new wireless router, this is a good time to be shopping. New Wi-Fi 6 models will be hitting store shelves soon, and that means existing models are starting to get some clearance prices. Like the Netgear Nighthawk AC2100, for example. This dual-band gigabit router lists for $180 and regularly sells for about $90 on Amazon . But right now, you can find the Netgear Nighthawk AC2100 Smart Wi-Fi Router for $79 at Amazon.
If the inventory on Amazon happens to sell out, you can get the Nighthawk AC2100 for 83.92 at Walmart, which is just a few bucks more. Either way, these are some of the lowest prices I've seen on the Nighthawk AC2100.
The Nighthawk AC2100 is a dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n router with a three-antenna configuration and four Ethernet ports. It supports speeds up to 2,100Mbps using Netgrear's "Beamforming+" wireless technology. Setup is done through a mobile app for simple and easy configuration (though you will need to have a iPhone or Android device handy to get started).
