ASUS BLUE CAVE AC2600 Router $129.99 - $35 with code $94.99

Discount code: 6BGSALE83

This specific router has gone in and out of sale every few months for around $100. All time low on amazon is $89.99. Refrubs are typically $75.00

Range to WIFI throughput is better than a lot of routers posted on this site.. especially entry level AX (2x2) routers. A lot of independent reviews have this thing pushing over 500mbps at 25-30 feet range on optimal channel selections. It's one of the better AC routers in terms of performance since it has viable 4x4 MIMO antennas which helps range significantly over legacy 3x3 or newer 2x2 APs.

Theres reports of this specific model having issues with cooling and intermittent issues/bugs so YMMV on product longevity. I'm just posting it because I believe its a better option from a price/performance aspect than a lot of stuff posted here on the daily.

My experience is better range than RT-AC68, but not recommended to use it as AiMesh router or node if you use DHCP assigned IP for devices, your devices will not get the assigned IPs when connected to it (can workaround that using static IP if you devices can set it). Returned it because of that.
Otherwise, it's fine.

Cooling is actually OK compare to other routers I have, namely Asus AC68U, Samsung Connnect Home and Netgear R6200.
