ARRIS Surfboard mAX W130 Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 6 System, 6000 sq ft Coverage

The ARRIS Surfboard mAX W130 is a tri-band mesh system designed to blanket a large home with strong WiFi 6 signals. You would pick this over a single router if you have dead zones or a multi-story house. Its key feature is the dedicated third radio band, which is reserved for communication between the router and satellite units. This helps keep speeds high as you move around, which is the main point of a mesh system. What stands out is the value. For under $75, you get a system that covers a significant area with modern WiFi 6. The companion app includes parental controls with activity-based rewards and a 'Who's Home' network monitor. A limitation is that ARRIS is newer to the consumer mesh game, so the app experience and reliability might not feel as refined as systems from companies like Google or Eero that have been doing this longer. Given the steep discount from its original price, this is a compelling option. It delivers the core benefits of a mesh network - wide coverage and a single network name - at a price that's hard to ignore. If your main goal is to eliminate WiFi dead spots without spending a fortune, this deal makes a lot of sense.
