I own one for about a month. It is really worth it. It has a built in paid firewall that can do so much stuff.

Wifi 6 is awesome when my tv is already wifi 6… dang its fast

It's worth it if you have a lot of devices that rely on Wi-Fi. These worked way better than the low end wifi6 Decos I bough. I had an issue with one of those within 6 months and had to RMA it. I paid way more for mine though. The app makes setup pretty easy too

Faster than direct connect Ethernet? Just asking because I have 500mbs on a standard old nighthawk, all our phones get rated speeds on speed test and we haven't had any lag in the tv with with an old Roku ultra. My wife works from home on the wifi network and my son games with standard 5ghz wireless card with no complaints for the last 3 years. Are we chasing technology or do I need something more and spend money?

I have this, lot of shill comments with new users.

It's good, but if you have more than 3 streaming devices, it struggles.

So it depends on # of devices and what you're doing.

How does this compare to Eero 6 3-pc mesh with the optional wired back haul? (Not the pro)

I have an older RBR40 with 4 x RBS20 satellites. Probably close to 80 devices. Performs like a dream. Anyone know what the newer upgrade of my system is? This model does not seem to be it.

I think I have this router, assuming it's the same one that was on sale at Costco last month for $150. I'm not happy with mine. Coming from tplink ac4000 this router does have better coverage than my tplink. Speeds are faster too if it connects correctly. I have spectrums 100mbps internet and with this router my desktop can hit 80s and 90s on wifi while on tplink I would top out at 60ish. This router is great when it works... unfortunately it doesn't always work. Some devices have trouble connecting. My desktop which does not move I might add... seems to keep connecting on the 2.4ghz band instead of the 5 and when it does my speeds drop drastically. My wyze cameras were fine last week but this week it refuses to connect. I also noticed that if one computer is downloading something all the other devices internet goes super slow. Never had the problem with tplink. Finally the app for this thing keeps freezing and won't even load sometimes. It also does not have any parental controls. Most I can do is block internet to specific devices but no filtering options. I will be returning this as soon as I find a good deal on something else in this price range.

Edit: Just found my box and mine is the ax1800 so it's a different model. It looks exactly the same though.

If you don't need a new router there's no need to buy an new shiny tech. WiFi 6 solves the problem with congestion where it handles multiple devices at once better. Your Alexa and Google's devices don't generate the traffic needed to benefit from wifi6. There's no use for a home environment to benefit from wifi6, the real winners are schools, concerts, stadiums, etc. Once wifi 6e comes out, then sure, the benefit of the 6g band with greatly increase your speeds.

For homes, the best thing is coverage and making sure you have a decent router. I recommend any MU-MIMO 4x4 router and maybe expanding the coverage with some additional access points or using a mesh system that are popular now days. My family games and watches a lot of 4k content. Streaming only consumes about 10Mbps, 4k streaming about 25Mbps. Our devices can average from 200-700Mbps on 5g WiFi. So there's really no need to upgrade, I'm assuming most homes are the same. People often confuse wifi6 with wifi6e, which are different. Wifi6 still uses the 5g band, while 6e uses the 6g and it's what people think they're getting.

Does this have a USB port? I.e., can it be used as a cheap NAS? If so, what I kind of read write speed do you get with USB drive? This seems to be a Walmart only model and it's hard to find info for it

Just to make sure I understand, what do you define as a steaming device? Not being a smart arse, it's a serious question. In this age of people still working from home, I think it's good to know. I assume zoom and FaceTime and similar are steaming devices. I'm assuming that it's not uncommon to have two adults working from home and one or two kids at home (especially in summer) doing PS5. Then add security cameras and doorbells and … Thanks in advance. 😃
