Hey everybody, this is my first time making a deal post on SD so hope I'm doing it right!
I've been hunting for a new WiFi 6 mesh router system and came across this amazing deal at Best Buy. It's the Netgear Orbi AX4200 system (previously on sale for Black Friday for $379.99) but found it today even more on sale for $349.99 with My Best Buy Member Pricing, so YMMV. Just purchased one today. Please comment if you are able to see the same price as I was!

Long story short if you don't have 1gig internet I don't think it's worth it ..if yes then absolutely
We only have 150 Mbps, so even outside across the street, connected to the satellite over 2.4GHz band, I am getting 170Mbps burst speed. These were a huge upgrade over my old router, which had dead zones in the garage and front bedroom.
Might put the extra satellite in the garage, so when the garage door is up it may give signal down the street!

Complete and irresponsible overkill. Yet it is nice to be outside while my kid does remote learning. On the plus side, I am no longer considering doing an Ethernet backhaul, the signal strength is so strong that my satellite gives me the same speed as the primary wireless router.
