The advantage of 6e is more channels, but if it's still 25% power your range will still be terrible.
Even with just 80Mhz width, I benchmarked over 500Mbit/s on my iPhone. That's plenty in my book.

my 5yo ac3100 with merlin hosts two dozen devices in a 2200sqft space like a champ,
so i'd rather spend this $160 on more HDD's for my NAS till 6e is out and settles down.
just look at 5G on USA cell phones - it's low band trash every budget phone has now.
don't get suckered into a meaningless upgrade cycle just to give these lazy pigs profit
and reward their meaningless marketing.

Have only tried DD WRT but I see lot of folks mentioning merlin. What would be the typical use case for merlin? More customization options?
High speed and no transmission power doesn't make sense for 99% of consumers. Maybe there is a NAS use case, but at that point plug in.
I am excited that newer generations of Wi-Fi will force better adoption of 10gbE.

If you have ac wave 1 (ASUS RT-AC68U), then update to ac wave 2 or above (6).
The smartest buy is ASUS RT-AX58U, it uses the same WiFi chipset as their highest end models.
WiFi 6E will only help if you live in very crowded WiFi environment.
Use Merlin firmware with Asus routers.
Source: I've upgraded my ASUS RT-AC68U to ASUS RT-AX58U, have multiple WiFi 6 devices.
