The Nokia Beacon 3 routers are all 23% off. The link to the 1-pack is in this post but the 23% coupon (on the Amazon page) works on the 1-pack, 2-pack and 3-pack.

I was watching the Nokia Beacon 1 post which made the front page (https://slickdeals.net/f/14366021-nokia-wifi-beacon-1-high-performance-whole-home-wifi-mesh-system-replaces-your-existing-router-3-pack-138-12​) on Slickdeals and didn't purchase fast enough because it looks like the deal is dead. No more units are available for sale. Anyways, the Beacon 3's seem to have higher specs and "should" work better and have more range than the Beacon 1's. Something to consider. 23% off seems like something. Probably a pre-Prime Day deal.

In addition it looks like the base price on this thing dropped (from $149 to $127) about a week ago too so it's kind of like double savings. Check camel camel camel.

Your post is pretty misleading putting the $98 price but mentioning the 3 system.

Beacon 1, 3 or 6 is the model number, not related to how many pack it comes in.

I just finished setting this router up and holy cow, the speeds are absolutely amazing.
I recently upgraded my home connection to 1gig and the 1st gen google wifi router was no longer cutting it. I tried the router I got from my ISP (RCN) and it gave me speeds of ~240Mbps in the next room over (in a fireproof building so there is a lot of interference from neighbors and metal in the walls). Tried the 2-pack TP-Link Deco that was FP here about 2 weeks ago and the speed increase wasn't very noticeable (about 300Mbps), even with the 2nd beacon merely 5ft away in the same room I'm in.

With this 1-pack $100 Nokia router I just tested 528Mbps in the same room. Didn't need to set up a 2nd beacon and reception is noticeably stronger. For me it's a clear winner over the TP-Link, even though it's only one device and not a mesh network. YMMV, I know my situation is pretty unique but thought I'd share.

As an additional bonus, I've been emailing tech support back and forth today (needed assistance in changing the default subnet which is an annoying 192.168.18.x). They respond within 1-2 hours which is definitely better than what I'm used to.
