From Netgear website:

802.11ax Dual band WiFi (AX4300)

I saw the box it has 2 5Ghz and of course single 2.4

But i went for TP link deco M9 plus. 3 mesh for $199. Got rich feature vs Netgear

If you aren't desperate, it seems like it would be worth waiting 6/9 months for WiFi 6E. https://apple.news/A5mxSYqf_RkGaCONOH-G7SA
I wouldn't suggest doing this. By the time your early adopter router has a decent amount of client devices to take advantage of that band it will be outdated.The routers they'll be selling on the market will be superior and cost less. When it comes to wireless routers buying the latest tech is worthless.

I would wait unless your current router just isn't cutting it.

Each person's setup and needs are different. For example if you have 300mpbs internet then is your router able to serve this speed to your clients? If so no need for a replacement unless you do a lot of file transfers within your home network that does not involve the internet.

At least from my experience, I'm not getting improvements even when using WiFi6 clients unless I'm in line of sight to the router.

If I buy two of these, and connect them together with wired Ethernet, will this mesh well?

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?
That's right. Even if they are not right now. You are buying a future proof router.

I just got one from Hayward, Costco in Bay Area. It seems to be much faster compare to my old Asus T-mobile cellspot router. T-mobile router has been great for the last few years but the 5g wireless band stopped working for some odd reason. Overall, happy with the new purchase.

The only negative thing that I could think is the response time of the router while using the app. Some settings takes 2-3 minutes to apply.

Thinking of buying this since my ATT provides router isnt getting me decent speeds over 250 while im paying for gigabit speeds

And if it fails, that costco warranty is awesome (more than 90 days for routers i believe).

Netgear routers sucks . My 1 year old R7800 keep dropping connections lately and I have to go back to the old, R7000. That's why I am hesitant to buy this.

My 7500 v2 still works great with an Arris SB6183. We have a cheap $39 200 Mbps plan and get 230 Mbps over our cell phones on 5G, and around 100 on 2.4g. Placement of the router, and running a wifi analyzer app is key to maximizing a good signal. If you are in a crowded space, changing channels works wonders. Newer modems offer more channels. We probably have 25 devices running, many on 2.4g.

Also keep up with the firmware updates. Every once in awhile I'll get a dud where 5g would struggle. It's usually not the router, but Netgear code. If you are on a stable version, keep it.

I've recently had multiple bad experiences with Netgear. I decided for ease of management to upgrade a router, switch and WiFi extender. Both the extender and the router failed at around 4 months (not at the same time). Netgear will not honor their 1 year hardware warranty unless you go through their tech support diagnosis first. Well that support is only free for 3 months then they charge the Pay-Per-Incident fee of $49.99 or you can upgrade to the affordable

6 months plan
$89.99
1 year plan
$139.99
2 year plan
$229.99

Netgear is making cheep garbage don't bother.

Not supporting netgear, but I had a router that I bought in 2010 and it still works great. Just can't handle higher speeds that my ISP provides now. Had to upgrade and went for this. On the same connection and same place I get speed 11 times of old one.
