I posted this in the other thread figured I post it here.

This is a great price for arguably one of the best routers ever made. Even though this is a dual band it out performs the AX11000 triband from Asus.

First off this is a huge router and the range and antennas it has should easily cover a single household without a problem and than some. Second The router itself can be used as part of AiMesh if anyone has any older Asus routers for even more coverage.

When it comes to speed through wireless with proper clients this held the record for well over a year, till just recently, it can output over 1.4Gbps to any device that has proper wifi card. So people who have 1Gbps internet it can take full advantage of that and then some.

For people who dont want a NAS but want to share content, it has one of the fastest transfer speeds on external hard drives out of any router.

If you have a NAS the 10Gig port on the router combo with a 10gig port on your NAS will increase transfer speeds exponentially within network (LAN side).

To add this has a total of 10 network ports 2 10gig ports and you can clearly see your dealing with something very high tech.

The only downside when it first launched it was a little buggy, but all fixed now. Also you have to be a bit network savvy to really configure this for maximum performance as for out of the box its setup for all around compatibility.

if I didnt have the TP-Link AX5700 currently this would be a no brainer on a router I could hold onto for around 5 years. Seeing the new $300 price from B&H my trigger finger is getting itchy.

Been using this for the last 1.5 years first version of this is pretty problematic, second version ( probably its what you are going to get ) is fine. I have to say its the way to go if you have a 10g infrastructure. Overall wifi coverage is great with speeds above 500mbps on wifi6.

Yes. Thank you for the feedback. I think this is the cheapest consumer router with dual 10GB ports. With the NAS and your PC, dual 10gb ports are must.

I thought this was the only one with that.

Anyway 12 streams good for people with a ton of connected gear.

This router is over a year old, so no wifi6E. This is still arguably the 3rd/4th best router currently available and the wifi 6E ones like the AXE11000 and the RAXE500 only provide an additional 100-200Mbps which for the fraction of the price make this a better deal.

My main use is to connect the 10gb LAN to NAS so that sharing of files from the NAS to multiple devices will be faster.

AXE11000 has 10gb Wifi but only 2.5gb LAN so it is not as great for the NAS files

Without a doubt I would, this is vastly superior in every way ( minus the dual band vs tri band). I have had an RT-AC5300 for awhile that I loved also but upgraded it, as you said its on the older side. If I didnt have an TP-LINK X5700 already, I would have jumped at the B&H option deal without thinking twice.

I still might, have to decide by end of the today cause the $75 off expires tonight. The single X89X should cover my whole house without a problem and I can even use my older RT-AC5300 in the future for a expansion with AiMesh.

The 10gig ports for the NAS is a huge selling point the speed increases are phenomenal over a 1 gig 2.5gig port.
