As was mentioned by me and a few others, that DONGKNOWS review is poorly done. It is not an apples to apples comparison, he used a router with a brand new firmware comparing to an identical router with firmware over 6 months old which had major problems just like any other router around that time. It takes time to work out the bugs and TP-Link, Netgear, Asus to name a few all put out routers with bugged performance with their first set of Wifi 6 routers. So yeah..... Important to make apples to apples instead of reading something without understanding the testing. If he did it the correct way he would have had both side by side on the same firmware.The routers are identical outside USB 3.0 port and Homecare included on one, so you will get identical performance results with the same firmware.

So if I had to pick one, it would be the more future proof AX1800.

The Costco one is better because it has MU-MIMO, this is needed if you plan to have a lot of devices on the router (Wifi Home automations). I have the Walmart edition and currently it's a bit struggling with 33 devices (28 on 2.4 Ghz and 5 on 5 GHz)
How can you tell if your router is struggling?

This is a tough one cause the C4000 was and is a great wifi 5 router, and yes it does have MU-MIMO but more importantly its triband, which gives it an edge just cause of that alone.
Unfortunately the AX20 is better in a couple other ways, one its a quad core processor. The better the CPU the more capable the router is, and the C4000 is a dual core. The other thing the AX20 has going for it is OFDMA which is a technology which is actually what is great and needed for when you have tons of low band width devices such as IOT devices using bandwidth at home. At least thats the marketing hype, but still getting worked out.
Also you mentioned the AX20 as not having MU-MIMO that would be incorrect it does have it, MU-MIMO is a standard technology introduced with the AX wifi 6 standard. I am not sure why its not listed on the product pages on some retailers, but its clearly listed on the TP-Link website. Linking it below:

Overall I still would pick the AX20-AX1800 cause its more future proof as the technology matures further.
In other words you're saying mid-high end WiFi 5 > lowest end WiFi 6 router

It drops devices and sometime reboot the whole 2.4 GHz band. Frankly, my next upgrade will be a mesh wifi-6 . I am waiting for the black friday deal for them. Another thing to note for the wifi-home-automators, if you don't want your love ones to pull their hair from wifi dropping, make sure they are using the 5 GHz .
