The only real difference seems to be case design to allow better ventilation on the AX21, but you have to wonder why they felt the need to change it.
I bought this router a couple of weeks ago to replace the $40 T-Mobile AC1900 (ASUS RT-AC68U) that was so popular back in the day. Our phones, laptops, and desktop are all WiFi 6 devices, so there has been a noticeable bump in stability and performance.
However, I'm running a USB hard drive off the router and it's been flaky when streaming 4K media. Didn't have problems on the previous router. Still troubleshooting to figure out if it's the router itself, or the configuration.
Pros:
Easy set up
Great for people who don't intend on doing any "advanced user" changes
Cheap Wifi 6
Cons:
QoS is not per device and uses "priority" settings
Has a firmware bug that may change the SubNet every so often.
Possibility of dropping price as WiFi 6e becomes more prevalent, likely late this year
The cons were pretty much deal breakers for me. My current router is only AC but the ability to set QoS per device is huge in my opinion. Also, I have a PiHole set for my router DNS. There appears to be a known bug on this router's firmware that the SubNet may change randomly or after reboot. No idea how long it will take for them to fix it, if they ever do. This can be problematic for anyone who uses Static settings on devices. I didn't give this router enough time to test any of my stuff set up with port forwarding and WoL after the frustration of just trying to reconfigure my PiHole for this. However, I am guessing it may impact that stuff, as well.
If you don't plan on doing anything more advanced than just setting it up and forgetting it. Then this router will probably be fine for you.

As has been pointed out in other threads, that's the AX20, while the one in the OP is the AX21.

The only reason I've decided to get this over Asus as well as Linksys is because of the reviews I've read. Guess we'll find out

Maybe firmware issue. Maybe there is alternative.

There are a few things that stand out about the AX3000 (outside of more total throughput) but there are two models so make sure you are looking at/buying the AX50 AX3000 version. The AX50 comes with the full homecare suite for free which has advanced parental controls, more advanced Quality of Service (QoS) controls, even has QoS by application and device, and finally full home network antivirus. Final thing it has, it has a USB 3.0 port so if you plan on using a external hard drive fro file sharing will get better performance out of it.
So if you think you will benefit from those additional features get the AX50. If your a set it and forget it type of person the AX21 should do you fine.
I have a 200 mb plan, the test gives ~230 mb using 5 Ghz. The larger number probably means my neighbors' routers are lower.

I'be been using the Archer C7 for over four years in my 2,600 sq ft. ranch house. I pay for 150 mps and routinely get about 175 mps . Household is two adults, using two computers, a tablet, two cellphones, two Firestick 4Ks, six Amazon echos, nine wifi smart plugs and nine wifi smart bulbs. I've had no problems with any of these devices. All work fine. The Firestick 4K, which is the farthest device from my router, only gets about 90 mps. But that is still way more speed than necessary to stream 4K video.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
