TL;DR: Davolink’s officially licensed Minions WiFi router went viral on X, racking up over 4 million views and wiping out Amazon’s inventory. You can still grab the Bob (AX1800) model via third-party Amazon sellers for $79.49.
If you thought home networking equipment was strictly limited to glowing black boxes with spider-like antennas, social media just proved otherwise.
A viral X post praising Davolink’s officially licensed Minions WiFi router racked up over 4 million views in less than 24 hours — causing Amazon’s direct stock to sell out almost instantly. Underneath the denim-overalls exterior, these devices are surprisingly capable WiFi 6 and 6E routers built by an enterprise networking company.

Built as a compact upright unit, it sits easily on a desk or bookshelf like a vinyl figurine while delivering actual high-speed home networking. Performance-wise, Bob runs on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, with combined theoretical speeds up to 1.77 Gbps. It is specifically built for low-latency tasks like wireless PC VR streaming, online gaming, and 4K media streaming, where a steady connection matters. On the back, you get 1 GbE WAN and LAN ports to connect your modem, PC, or gaming console directly.
Versatility is where Bob shines. You can run it as your main home router, set it up as a standalone access point, use it as a range extender, or link it to another compatible Minions router to build a full mesh network to cover dead zones in your apartment. It also comes with standard WPA3 encryption to keep your connection secure.
Amazon still has select third-party listings for the Minions Bob router at around $79.49. You can also check eBay, where completed sales have been popping up rapidly following the social media spike. Just make sure to double-check total seller pricing and shipping costs so you don’t overpay.
Grab the Davolink Minions Bob Router for $79.49 on Amazon before this third-party stock also dries up.
