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

It's not. Like for like.
I was looking into a couple of mesh systems and there wasn't an option for attaching hard disk due to lack of USB ports. Is anyone having a similar use case as mine and how do you circumvent the lack of USB?

TP-Link deco has USB. Also you can use your old router if you have one that has USB ports attached to it and convert it to bridge mode so you retain all the previous USB functionality you're used to

I have a server running in the house that I also use for Plex and other things. So if I need a drive shared across the network (which I have), I'll either share one of the internal drives on the server or connect an external USB drive to the server and share it over the network. Right click on the drive on the server to share it.
I'm actually faced with this problem again because I just moved from a router that had USB ports on it, to the Orbi which doesn't.
There's also an old USB network hub that I used to use for this problem. But I haven't used it actively in years.
Unlikely since the backhaul channel here is ax not ac
