Costco has a custom model (RAXE450 vs the more common RAXE500) of Wifi 6E router (Seems the main difference is a slight difference in top bandwidth, but probably worth the $449.99 vs $599.99

https://www.costco.com/netgear-%E...49967.html

The two different spec sheets shows the main difference seems to be a slight difference in total/maximum wireless speed of 9.55Gbps vs 10.8Gbps

$450 and still has to use link aggregation for network and device to get over Gigabit speed. Should have (2) 2.5gbps or 2.5gbps and 10gbps port like Archer AX206. Xfinity Gigabit is now 1.45Gbps with overhead.

hey guys.. how do I hook up my 5gb my passport HDD to the Linksys hydra in this link? there's 1 ethernet internet port yellow, and like 4-5 more ethernet ports, there's no USB port, (my wrt3200acm) had usb, and I plugged HDD into that, and I was able to watch my videos and stuff through tv and from laptop.

I dont know how to connect my hdd, that ends in a usb, into a ethernet port. is there a magical adapter I can buy to use to convert USB into ethernet?

The version of the linksys MR7500 sells is called MR75WH (warehouse) I assume, it lacks the usb 3.0 port on the back, I repeat, no usb on the back.

whether or not thats worth 120 to you is up in the air. just posting for everyones info

According to wi-fi.org the Linksys (MR75WH) is a product model variant. If you look at all the specifications pics that Costco provides- the USB is there.

So if anything is not right- do a screenshot of pics- and talk to a nice Costco CSR.

Edit everyone.

MR75WH does not have a USB port, they was advertising the wrong model, my new one did not have a usb either, I contacted costco, they swore up and down it would provide a usb if they sent me a new one. they dug into it, and found that the MR7500 costco version (MR75WH) does not have usb, I left a 1 star review stating it.

Afterwards-

They did give me a 75 dollar credit if I wanted to keep it, which I accepted. not to upset, but future buyers beware. no usb

Interesting, after I addressed Costco on the mr7500 being incorrectly advertised as not having usb

It's been pulled off their site. I can't click re order and the page is gone. Hope I didn't ruin people getting one now.

the linksys mr7500 is back, with updated images to reflect no usb on costco.

review= mines been absolutely stunning, with 4 room mates, like 40 devices, ps4 and ps5 and everything. nothing is loss connection, except her and my phone kept asking us to rejoin the network, several times.

I had us delete the network from our phone, and re add and no issue since, I think its because I simply used this as same name as old wifi router and maybe some weird hiccup.

but yeah, and the range is much better than old router. very happy.
