The best discount on Vijay Sales' printer shelf is worse than the ordinary discount on its router shelf. Printers top out at 36% off; the median router badge is 38% and the deepest is 61%. Both shelves are also a single brand deep — TP-Link across all nine networking listings, HP across all nine printers — and not one of the 18 listings publishes a rating. That leaves the badge as the only comparative number on the page, and two router listings share one stated MRP.
📅 Update log:
14 November 2026: first published. Vijay Sales' own /c/routers and /c/printers category pages returned 18 distinct listings on this date, read logged out, from India, with nothing bought. Every selling price, stated MRP and badge is Vijay Sales' own published figure; medians and ranges are arithmetic on those 18 and are shown beside them. Neither shelf published a rating or a review count for any listing, and nothing was ordered, installed or speed-tested.
The deepest discount on Vijay Sales' printer shelf is shallower than the median discount on its router shelf. Printers top out at 36% off; the typical router badge is 38%, and the deepest is 61%.
Both shelves are also one brand deep. All nine networking listings in this read are TP-Link; all nine printers are HP. There is no second brand to compare either badge against.
Read on 14 November 2026 from Vijay Sales' own category pages, logged out, from India, with nothing bought. Not one of the 18 listings publishes a rating or a review count.
This is a price read, not a hardware test. Nothing was ordered, installed, connected or speed-tested. Throughput, Wi-Fi coverage, print quality, cartridge yield, running cost and reliability are not assessed anywhere on this page, and the speeds and page rates in the listing titles are the seller's description, not verified findings.
Two shelves, two discount habits
| Shelf | Listings | Price range | Badge range | Median badge | Brands |
|---|
| Routers and networking | 9 | Rs. 1,029 – Rs. 3,999 | 19% – 61% | 38% | TP-Link, all nine |
| Printers | 9 | Rs. 5,669 – Rs. 26,649 | 14% – 36% | 22% | HP, all nine |
The cheaper shelf is the one that discounts harder. Networking runs Rs. 1,029 to Rs. 3,999 with a median badge of 38%; printers run Rs. 5,669 to Rs. 26,649 with a median of 22%.
That matters because printers are where the money is on this page. The dearest router costs less than the cheapest printer, and the dearest printer costs nearly seven times the dearest router.
With one brand per shelf and no ratings on either, the badge is the only comparative figure Vijay Sales publishes here — and as the next two tables show, it is comparing each listing to its own stated reference price rather than to anything else on the shelf.
The networking shelf, cheapest first
| Listing | You pay | Stated MRP | Badge |
|---|
| TP-Link EH210 1-to-2 Gigabit Ethernet splitter | Rs. 1,029 | Rs. 1,399 | 26% |
| TP-Link UE200 USB 2.0 to 100Mbps network adapter | Rs. 1,099 | Rs. 1,999 | 45% |
| TP-Link Archer C20 AC750 dual band router | Rs. 2,029 | Rs. 2,499 | 19% |
| TP-Link RE200 AC750 Wi-Fi range extender | Rs. 2,199 | Rs. 4,298 | 49% |
| TP-Link Archer C50 AC1200 dual band router | Rs. 2,249 | Rs. 3,599 | 38% |
| TP-Link Archer C6 AC1200 dual band router | Rs. 3,099 | Rs. 4,999 | 38% |
| TP-Link Deco M4 whole-home mesh system | Rs. 3,499 | Rs. 8,999 | 61% |
| TP-Link Archer AX10 AX1500 Wi-Fi 6 router | Rs. 3,999 | Rs. 8,999 | 56% |
Two listings state exactly the same Rs. 8,999 reference price — a mesh system at Rs. 3,499 and a Wi-Fi 6 router at Rs. 3,999 — so their badges read 61% and 56% purely because of the Rs. 500 between them.
The shallowest badge on the shelf, 19%, sits on a Rs. 2,029 router that costs less than the 49% range extender and the 38% Archer C50 beside it. Sorted by badge, it is last; sorted by what you pay, it is third cheapest.
Two of the nine listings are not routers at all — an Ethernet splitter at Rs. 1,029 and a USB network adapter at Rs. 1,099. Vijay Sales files them under the same category and this page leaves them where the shelf put them, with a note rather than a quiet deletion.
The printer shelf, cheapest first
| Listing | You pay | Stated MRP | Badge |
|---|
| HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 2989 all-in-one inkjet | Rs. 5,669 | Rs. 8,860 | 36% |
| HP DeskJet Ink Advantage Ultra 4926 all-in-one | Rs. 8,599 | Rs. 11,000 | 22% |
| HP Laser 1008w single-function wireless | Rs. 13,499 | Rs. 15,840 | 15% |
| HP Smart Tank 585 colour ink tank all-in-one | Rs. 14,299 | Rs. 17,800 | 20% |
| HP LaserJet 303dw mono laser, auto duplex | Rs. 14,999 | Rs. 22,500 | 33% |
| HP Smart Tank 580 colour ink tank all-in-one | Rs. 15,359 | Rs. 18,848 | 19% |
| HP Smart Tank 675 all-in-one WiFi ink tank | Rs. 18,899 | Rs. 28,000 | 33% |
| HP Laser MFP 1188nw mono laser all-in-one | Rs. 18,999 | Rs. 23,700 | 20% |
| HP 323dnw auto duplex WiFi laser | Rs. 21,799 | Rs. 31,500 | 31% |
| HP Smart Tank 790 all-in-one ink tank | Rs. 26,649 | Rs. 30,822 | 14% |
The cheapest printer on the shelf carries its deepest badge. Rs. 5,669 against a stated Rs. 8,860 is 36%; the dearest, at Rs. 26,649, badges 14%.
Between them the badge wanders rather than trends — 22%, 15%, 20%, 33%, 19%, 33%, 20%, 31% — which is what you would expect when each percentage is computed against a separately chosen reference price.
Nothing here compares running costs, and that is the number that usually decides a printer purchase. An ink tank machine and a laser machine at similar prices have very different cost per page, and neither this read nor the listing data says anything about it. Price the cartridges or ink bottles before you price the printer.
What this read cannot tell you
Nothing was ordered, installed, connected or tested. This page reads 18 listings on two Vijay Sales category pages. Wi-Fi throughput, range, stability, firmware, print quality, print speed in practice, cartridge yield, cost per page and reliability are not assessed, and no listing here is recommended over another.
Speeds and rates quoted in titles are the seller's description. Where a title says AC1200, AX1500, 1000Mbps or a pages-per-minute figure, that is how the listing describes itself; this read verified none of it.
Neither shelf publishes a single rating or review count. That is Vijay Sales' own data on these pages, not a gap in the reading, and it means there is no independent signal of any kind to weigh against the badge.
Both shelves are one brand deep in this read — TP-Link across networking, HP across printers — so nothing here is a brand comparison, and a model stocked elsewhere may be priced differently on the same day.
Stating a reference price above a selling price is ordinary and lawful retail practice. No claim is made that any stated MRP here is false or that Vijay Sales or any brand named has acted improperly.
What to check before buying either
- For a printer, price the consumables first. Cost per page decides the real bill, and it appears nowhere on these listings or on this page.
- Check whether a networking listing is actually a router. Two of the nine here are an Ethernet splitter and a USB adapter.
- Compare the rupee price, not the badge. Two listings on the router shelf share one Rs. 8,999 stated MRP and badge 61% and 56%.
- Expect no reviews on either shelf. None of the 18 listings publishes a rating or a count, so look the exact model up elsewhere before ordering.
- Match the model number, not the family name. Four HP Smart Tank machines appear here between Rs. 14,299 and Rs. 26,649.
- Check stock and store pickup before travelling. These are online listings read on one day; availability at a particular branch is a separate question this read did not touch.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do routers cost at Vijay Sales in November 2026?
Between Rs. 1,029 and Rs. 3,999 across nine networking listings read on 14 November 2026, with a median badge of 38%. The cheapest two are accessories rather than routers — an Ethernet splitter at Rs. 1,029 and a USB network adapter at Rs. 1,099. Actual routers start at Rs. 2,029 for an AC750 dual-band model and run to Rs. 3,999 for a Wi-Fi 6 AX1500, with a whole-home mesh system at Rs. 3,499. All nine listings are one brand, TP-Link, and none publishes a rating. Prices change daily; nothing was ordered or speed-tested.
Are printers discounted less than routers at Vijay Sales?
Yes, on this read, and by a clear margin. The printer shelf's deepest badge is 36% and its median is 22%. The router shelf's median is 38% and its deepest is 61%. So the typical networking discount is deeper than the best printer discount on the same site on the same day. Printers are also where the money is — they run Rs. 5,669 to Rs. 26,649 against a router ceiling of Rs. 3,999. Stating a reference price above a selling price is ordinary and lawful practice and nothing here claims any figure is false; the badge simply compares each listing to its own stated MRP, not to the machine beside it.
Which is the cheapest HP printer at Vijay Sales?
An HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 2989 all-in-one inkjet at Rs. 5,669, against a stated Rs. 8,860 — a 36% badge, the deepest on the printer shelf. Above it the shelf runs Rs. 8,599 for another DeskJet, then Rs. 13,499 for a mono laser, then four Smart Tank ink tank machines between Rs. 14,299 and Rs. 26,649. Cheapest to buy is not cheapest to run: cartridge inkjets, ink tank machines and lasers have very different costs per page, and neither these listings nor this page says anything about that. Price the ink or toner before you price the printer.
Do Vijay Sales listings have customer reviews?
Not on these two shelves. None of the 18 listings read on 14 November 2026 published a star average or a review count. That is Vijay Sales' own data on its router and printer category pages rather than a limitation of this read. The practical effect is that the discount badge is the only comparative number on the page, and the badge is calculated against a reference price the seller chooses. If other buyers' experience matters to your decision, look the exact model number up on a marketplace or the manufacturer's own site before ordering.
Why do two TP-Link listings show different discounts for the same MRP?
Because the badge is the gap between the selling price and the stated MRP, so when the MRP is identical the badge only restates the price. In this read a Deco M4 mesh system at Rs. 3,499 and an Archer AX10 router at Rs. 3,999 both state Rs. 8,999, and badge 61% and 56% respectively. Rs. 500 of price, five points of badge. They are genuinely different products — a multi-unit mesh system against a single Wi-Fi 6 router — and nothing on this page says which suits a given home, because neither was installed or tested.
Prices & codes last verified: November 14, 2026
Prices, stated MRPs and badges recorded from Vijay Sales on 14 November 2026 and will change. Neither shelf publishes a rating or review count for any listing, so nothing here ranks these products by evidence of any kind. Nothing was ordered, installed, connected or tested, and no claim is made about Wi-Fi throughput, coverage, print quality, print speed, cartridge yield, cost per page or reliability. Speeds and rates in titles are seller descriptions this read did not verify. Stating a reference price above a selling price is ordinary and lawful retail practice; no claim is made that any stated MRP is false or that Vijay Sales or any brand named has acted improperly. No coupon, bank offer, EMI cost or delivery charge is included in any figure.
