My warning lights go off when you can't even find the item on the manufacturer's website. Probably a holiday special model just for Best Buy. They'll blow trough this sku and it'll never be seen again. Might not bode well for long-term firmware support.

It is a new product and specs seems to be good.
Triple-core 1.5GHz processor
WiFi 6 (802.11ax) Dual Band WiFi (AX5200)
2.4GHz AX: 2x2 (Tx/Rx) 256 QAM 20/40MHz, up to 460Mbps
5GHz AX: 4x4 (Tx/Rx) 1024 QAM 20/40/80/160MHz, up to 4.8Gbps
Backwards compatible with 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WiFi
6-stream WiFi with up to 5.2Gbps† for fast wireless speeds‡
WiFi speeds up to 460Mbps + 4.8Gbps with 6-stream connectivity***
1024-QAM—25% increased data efficiency and faster speeds than a 256-QAM router
160MHZ channel support*** doubles the speeds as offered by 80MHz channels to provide Gigabit speeds for compatible mobile devices and laptops
Can't find reviews on this router anywhere, must be new or I'm doing something wrong. Any thoughts on this deal?
its a good deal for 150. Normally in this price range u see AX 3000 stuff and while this one is not triband and im pretty sure its 2 x 2 mu-mimo just like your typical AX3000 router, it probably has a better cpu and memory for the higher throughput so...worth it provided that u dont have a very specific need like the ones i mentioned.
Those are my thoughts on the paper specs for the price. As far as realistic performance, without a review i agree its hard to say

I didn' find any last night...It might be a best buy exclusive... which typically means a higher end model with few features removed.

Same. Wonder how this compares to the RAX45-100NAS that will be on sale at Costco for $130 ($20 less).
