That said, I am returning this router. Had it for about a month and it started emitting a sizzling buzz. Some google search shows this has happened with some other netgear routers. I sat about 5 feet away from mine and the sound was faint but just enough to annoy the crap out of me. Did not seem to impact performance but likely not a good sign for the future of it.
It is costco though, so easy returns and its a great price. If i hadn't already ordered a different router I'd likely give it one more shot.
I'm 99% sure that my cat will end up sleeping on it. (since routers do get warm)

The wifi speeds are considerably worse 50 at 2.4 / 250-300 on 5. I'm on fiber.
Range is still decent.
However we decided recently to just run some cat6 cable to the home office anyway, and our wifi devices do fine enough with the speeds offered. So for my current needs the AX21 is fine enough and if my needs change I'll grab a wifi 6e router down the road and can set this one up for the in-laws without having quite as much invested into it.
I do also appreciate that it is much less bulky!
im always up for beefing up my router ability, I am having fiber optic installed next month, a new company called metro net. I am with spectrum now, so I guess I won't be able to use my Motorola modem anymore but did indicate I can still use a personal router.
