Seen a Wi-Fi router in the form of a Minion in your feed lately? It isn't AI; it's a real product from the South Korean networking company Davolink. Kevin, the taller of its two Minions routers, went viral after an X post last month called it one of the best Wi-Fi 6E routers money can buy. The post drew millions of impressions and Amazon's stock, priced at $62.99, was gone by the next day.
