Recently, they gave away at least 10 routers to amazon reviewers people to get favorable reviews...

Today after reading this, I realized I last upgraded my router 8 years ago to AC. Time flies.

This seems like a great deal for wifi 6 router, though my understanding is not all devices will support it? Currently setting up mesh networking instead of router + extenders, and very novice at this point.

For someone who isn't network savvy, the current array of available devices are simple enough to setup whatever device you may choose. BUT to really optimize your setup for your environment with an increasing number of technologies on the market evolving with increasing rapidity... that feels like it is getting increasingly complex. I guess it's a good problem in the end.

As of 9:48AM PT when I click the post link it shows $71 - $10 off, but when I shared it with a friend, it changed back to $74 - $10, very curious. Haha. Still a great deal.

whoaaah it is! Grab it man

edit: mine is RAX35V2 with Broadcom triple core cpu. I'm not sure if it's the v2 too
These low end broadcom routers aren't technically triple or quadcore processors (relative to higher end designs) but I digress.

Sweet! Thanks! The RAX35 supports 160Mhz channel width for fastest speed too.

Picking one up at local Walmart today!
If only 160mhz channel width offered practical benefits on 5Ghz Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

Wifi 6 radios are generally faster in terms of processing speed (1.5Ghz vs 800mhz on Broadcom ARM A7), but these lower end 2x2 AX designs are equivalent to 2x2 AC1200 "spec" for AC clients in regards to performance at distance. Real world performance depends on amplifiers, amplification value, antenna height, tuning and specific clients used as not all perform identical. (IE: intel client vs broadcom and or qualcomm).

These entry 2x2 designs are great for AX clients, but end up in a weird bubble of performing worse than first gen AC 3x3 designs and higher end last gen 4x4 wave 2 radios with certain legacy hardware.

I don't want to steer people the wrong way as theres obvious benefits of running these cheaper AX routers with AX clients, but its not a 1 stop solution for overall improvement of wifi performance, especially since majority clients are indeed AC right now and that wont change until client pricing of AX hardware is cheap enough for IoT.

My recommendation.. Look for a deal on a 4x4 or newer 3x3 radio for consistency in upgrade paths, but thats at least double the price realistically speaking (on sale).

3x3 AX (new) will change this in around a year. Stuff like AX68U should be marked down as low as $100-120. This is at least an "upgrade" from legacy AC1750 spec.

Price was fluctuating pretty hard. Put it in my cart for $70 and bought it at a base of $73.

Sadly the coupon now seems to be gone.

I live in a small one bedroom apartment in LA. The rax35v2 worked great for wireless PCVR (Quest 2) Hopefully when I get a bigger place I'll have the need for these more expensive routers. Almost all my devices are wired at home

Yeah in a small place, my overall argument goes to crap as 2x2 is generally enough. Especially on AX clients benefiting from improved SNR ratio over distance.

You'll benefit from the faster Radio processors in general.

I live in a small NY apartment using Spectrum's provided modem and router. I've noticed that my download speeds are 120 Mbps, but under moderate usage (running a Zoom call, streaming soccer on TV, and on FaceTime all at the same time), I get some serious lag on Zoom and I have to shut everything down. Would a router like this solve my problem?

Which spectrum router do you have? Theres a lot of variables here.

For example... the spectrum Wave 2 designs they offer are quite good hardware wise.. Just limited by locked admin panel and auto switching bands which can cause a ton of issues.

The older Sagecom AC1750 is processing limited. Very weak core feeding into first gen qualcomm radios.


Edit: If it's a small place, these entry AX routers are generally fine. They also pay for themselves in a year since you'll avoid the $5 a month rental charge (assuming router is around $60)

I hear you, thanks for the help! My router is a Sagemcom SAC2V2S. I'm reading up on it now and I'm realizing that I'm unable to choose between 2.4 and 5 GHz, which isn't much of a concern for me, but I would also like wifi 6 (even though I probably won't need it at my current speed).
