I currently have the Costco Nighthawk X6S AC3000. We get about 300-400mbps on wifi with ATT gigabit. My desktop which has direct ethernet connection gets 900mbps.
You need your phones, tablets and other devices to all be Wifi 6 compatible to benefit from this right?
Why would you go to the store right now? If it's available online stay home. Jesus. This isn't that complicated.
I wouldn't make a trip just for it but could do so as part of Costco grocery/liquor run.

You should get better performance with WiFi 6 clients but really depends on individual client locations.
I tested this a couple of months back and it was fast with direct line of sight but it performed worst than a 3 year old router (Netgear R7000) even with WiFi 6 clients when I situate my client 25-30 feet away with two walls between router and client.

I may hold off till the A6s breaks. It's been super solid so far and almost never needs a rest.
yea..i mean i got shamed immediately; but part of a regular costco grocery run would make it an easy pickup. i dont exactly have unlimited fridge/storage space, and cant order a lot of the items online in the first place, so in store visit is prob on my to do list in the next few days.

You can call your local store to find the in-warehouse stock and price (sometimes lower than online).

That is a more than fair response. Sorry for getting all worked up! lol
