Been following this price for a while, the white one hit this price last week but wasn't available for immediate shipping. While this can get sweeter with a coupon or something I doubt it drops below $130-$140 thru the rest of the year. considering upgrading from ax56u, thoughts?

AC3100 is 4x4 + 4x4 config, but like the AC1900 it's Turbo/nitroQAM and is effectively AC2400 "Real world" spec. 1734 + 600 for a majority of clients connecting to it.
AX82U is a 4x4 + 2x2 router using a cheaper SoC for its main CPUs. Theoretically it should perform better than the 68U in 5G, but performs worse in practice, especially with legacy AC clients.

The main CPU on the 68U is a significantly better A53 dual core and helps with VPN/read/write times over the cheaper 67xx family of BCM SoC.
The AX3000/AX5400 Asus routers are more on the end of marketing hype. You're buying a low end SoC paired with a higher end 5G "4x4" chip (half radio disabled on AX3000). Youre paying for the "160mhz" 5G.
160mhz bandwidth isn't practical for real world wifi and drops off into 80mhz territory over 15 feet. Also degrades SNR and requires DFS channels.
Edit 2: AX68U performs better in real world use/distance. Only upgrade from here is the 86U, 88U, 89X. If you want a little bit of everything and a good price, the 86U is your only option.
Edit: AX68U is AX2700 3x3 1800 + 3x3 861. It's the direct AX upgrade to the old AC1750 spec.

Most curious in the onboard FW and metrics.

I keep going back to Asus, somewhat because I don't want to learn ubiquiti and I'm already familiar with linux networking (asuswrt is linux based) so it's much easier for me to anything custom.
I almost bit on the cheaper TP-Link AX21 from Walmart but after reviewing their OpenMesh capabilities and using their emulator (impressed they had one) I was rather underwhelmed.
I will always buy asus routers. I'm accustomed to all the great features such as VPN server, phone app etc.

By the way, I had to stop using my SonicWall TZ500 (for primary devices) because of the identical issues. It's still usable, but almost any streaming service shutters, lags, or pauses for 10-30 seconds intermittently. I jump over to a different device w/o a real firewall options and no issues.
For the number of devices, and for streaming (media / gaming) I find that anything without quad core just cannot keep up to a QoS that the household expects... but we easily go through 1.5-2.3 TB of data a month where 80-90% of that is media (web not torrents/etc), camera footage, or gaming streaming services.
How trade in works at BB? Can we pricematch and the trade in to get 15% off
Better is kinda subjective based on your needs, but Asus I believe has some of the best consumer router software and good reliability and longevity. TP-Link has reported complaints of lack of updates and other things, it's been years since I used them. I was considering TP-Link at a much lower price...
