There seems to be some confusion and misinformation about WiFi 6 in this thread.

WiFi 6 (802.11ax) operates on both the 2.4GHz & 5GHz channels and is essentially a small upgrade to WiFi 5 (802.11ac). WiFi 6 IS NOT 6GHz, that will be WiFi 6E (although some WiFi 6 routers might be upgradable to WiFi 6e in the future via firmware updates)

Lower frequencies (2.4GHz) provide better wall penetration and range while higher frequencies (5GHz+) provide higher speeds.

For those of you who want to improve your connection quality/range, buy a mesh system. This router will not really improve your connection quality/range (albeit WiFi 6 does increase the 2.4GHz band performance which has good range/wall penetration so you could connect to your 2.4GHz band). There are WiFi 6 mesh systems that take advantage of of the WiFi 6 improvements, or Asus routers w/ AiMesh can double as a mesh network node as well.

WiFi 6 is more geared towards people who have a lot of wirelessly connected devices on their network such as IoT/smart home devices, due to it's improvements like OFDMA and handling a lot of connections efficiently.

tldr:

Buy a WiFi 6 router if you already have a strong connection quality around your home and you want to improve wireless speeds OR if you have a lot of wirelessly connected devices.

Buy a mesh system If you want to improve your connection quality or range around your house.
Wrong.

It is about the band they use (2.4ghz vs 5 ghz). WiFi6 can actually penetrate more than WiFi5 because WiFi6 also supports 2.4ghz. The downside of using 2.4ghz is the oversaturation or dirty air. Also, there are only fewer channels to bond. 5ghz on the other hand is wider. So many available channels to use and to bond. The WiFi6E will make this even better due to more channels being introduced. The downside of 5ghz of course is that it can't penetrate much as the 2.4ghz. However, the penetration and distance difference only matters if you are in an isolated place where 2.4ghz is clean. If you live in a dense area like an apartment, forget about 2.4ghz. You will benefit more on the cleaner Signal to Noise ratio of the 5ghz even through walls.

Also, WiFi6 is better suited for high dense area than WiFi5. I can go on technical on this but in short, WiFi6 is better.

What's the warranty on these? I was told by the Costco customer support agent that it doesn't qualify for additional 2 years of warranty.
Felt sad

There is no Costco Warranty. Some items state that there is a 2 year warranty and me mention Costco Concierge (such as TV's and major appliances), but the warranty is still through the manufacturer. You can get an additional 2 years beyond the manufacturer warranty if you buy with your Costco Citi Visa subject to their limitations (no used items, max combined warranty is 7 years, etc.).

What Costco offers on all items (except those specifically excluded such as Computers, TV's and major appliances) is a satisfaction guarantee. Routers fall under this so there is no limit to the return period. Just use common sense and don't treat it as a trade-in program.

I'd like to know this too. That's the other router I'm considering to replace a Nighthawk R7000.

There's a Best Buy model for $30 more that seems to be much faster. This is a stripped down version of it.

I'm currently still using a Linksys e3200 I've had for years. I have a 200mbps plan but I get about 30 on 2.4ghz and about 100 on 5ghz....although I never lose connectivity or have issues much.....is this a good replacement for it? I do game quite a bit and also work from home currently. Router is placed downstairs while I work upstairs. Home Is about 2700 sq ft but router is vertical downstairs. So the room I work in is upstairs but more directly above it?

This should work great. You might need to get a range extender.
