Google Asus AX89X and see what's in store for next year. Black Friday 2020!
Wifi 6 currently does not matter, even wifi 6 equipped devices are showing barley any improvement. Unless you really want to future proof with alpha/beta routers of wifi 6 I would keep waiting till wave 2 and everything is standardized.
I have owned the AC5300 for over a year now and its one of the best routers period. This would make a great center point for AI mesh.
Have not used the Pro but supposedly some of its features do really help with bloat and gaming when doing a lot of FPS. How big of a difference is questionable from reviews. I have used the AC5300 for over a year and I game and have had no problems with it. Its a great router, powerful, and huge range for coverage.

I'm also waiting for that as well. The best price I found previously was from Newegg selling refurbished version for $200. They now have increased the refurbished price. I'm waiting to buy it new for close to $200, hoping it'll get there on Black Friday or so.
Newegg has $55 off during Black Friday, so it will be $245. If it comes down to $200, that will be great!

Thanks for letting me know about Newegg's Black Friday deal on the Asus AX6000. I hope other electronic stores offer better deal, $245 seems like a weak deal.
