$40 cheaper than FP deal last month. Looks like a great price for a fast, tri-band router. $139.99 with a clippable $20 coupon. Could be even cheaper if you have the AMEX code for that category, though I can't verify this.

If you're looking to mesh, Google might have an advantage...MIGHT. this mostly depends on the area you are looking to cover. But if you're going to mesh, I'd go with an orbi system anyway.
and if you don't know, mesh means joining multiple routers together to cover large homes (fyi)
Also note that the main drawback to MU-MIMO is your client devices also need to support it, otherwise the router is forced to run in traditional SU-MIMO mode. So in short, you'll be future proofing yourself once MU-MIMO becomes more ubiquitous.

1 on 1, this blows Google WiFi out the water.

That one has MI-MO over this I think. Anyone having experience can chime in?

Yeah going with the s for $30 is definitely worth it.
Yes... My pleasure.
In things like technology, I would rather spend $30 more if it does add some difference. Router is a thing that I use for several years. Set it up once and forget it. Login every few months to check for firmware upgrades, if any.

Thanks for the info. I'm looking to replace my 10 year old linksys router.
I'm not looking to mesh, since the area I need to cover isn't very big. I need a router to inform me and allow me to block traffic.
Thank you for your time
