FWIW - I actually stayed up until midnight to get this router because an earlier post said it would be $249. Pleasant surprise to see it at $219. I am replacing a TPlink C4000 - (again - 2nd one) to hopefully get better performance. I read numerous reviews, some good, some average on this device, so WTF, it's Costco and if I have issues, returns are easy. Hopefully, this router will be the last one I purchase for a while. I have over 50 devices running, lights, cameras, server, etc so we will see. The C4000 issues, I believe are related to heat and the ram loading up. It seems all brands have their own issues and it is a matter of preference and how much you are willing to spend.

Is this online only? Same discount at store?
I called a local Costco, provided the item number, and the rep confirmed it's the same price in-store.

Picked up one this morning and just installed it. Huge upgrarde from my Linksys EA9200.

It took me some time to figure out the file sharing set up in my Raspbian media center runing Kodi. Other than that, everything great so far

I have the C4000 as well from Costco over a year ago, but no such problems on my end. I am thinking about getting this though to replace it. C4000 has not been updated in over 2 years and I now have more than 50% of my devices as WiFi 6 or 6E. Bought a Netgear AX5200 and it was crap, so returned it. TP-Link has been pretty solid for me the last 3 I have bought. This also has the same HomeCare as the C4000, so no monthly $5.99 fee as the ones with HomeShield.

This is ranked highly for a gaming router as well:

Called Costco customer service for the price adjustment $30 from last month's sale. Said they submitted the request and it can take 24 to 48 hors to process. So, not buying another one and returning with old receipt now. Smilie

I'm using the c4000 currently and its working fine, considering this for an upgrade would be interested to hear how this works out for you.

This deal makes me laugh about the AX-86u deal from Microcenter so many were praising this week, even though the price for it was only 20 dollars less than a year before. Hmm.

Does this router have good QoS? I have the Tmobile AC1900 from years ago and my online games lag out whenever my wife watches Netflix, even with the QoS configured.

Thanks. Purchased to replace my aging ac68u, which is still perfectly fine.

My home has a bit odd floor which is very long and narrow. Currently one ac68u serves as main router, one ac68u serves as a repeater and one ac68u servers as a wireless bridge for the office wired connections. Currently consistently get 150mbps to 300mbps throughout 3 fissue.

However, NAS connection is slow and hopefully this router can solve the issue. I have to say, ac68u is the most reliable routers I have used in years.

Ok I'm sorry not a huge tech person. Am moving into an apartment and getting att fiber internet. Is it better to buy my own router/ modem or rent from ATT for 10$ a month?

Also is this a router and a modem ? Or do I need to purchase a separate modem ? Sorry again.
As long as ATT isn't doing the same shady practice as Comcast and putting a data cap on your plan if you use your own hardware, definitely get your own hardware.

For fiber, they used to run what's called MOCA. It uses an external box that interfaces with a typical modem/router setup via a coaxial cable (think TV antenna cable).

If this is still required, it's the only piece of hardware you won't be able to buy yourself, but you can still roll out your own router internally.

However, this router is overkill for an apartment or even a small house.

I have the T-Mobile Cellspot, which everybody praises as being super reliable (probably has more to do with price-to-performance than anything though).

I'm interested in this, but am a bit hesitant of spending $200+ if it isn't going to be much of an upgrade over the T-Mobile Cellspot I have.

Are you using the stock firmware with the 68U?

I have no throughput issues with Merlin connected to a Raspberry Pi 4 with USB 3.0 external drives.

The main question is whether your hardware is Wifi 6 capable.

This router isn't going to increase your coverage significantly, but it will handle more devices in the same general area.

However, you could also roll out a couple additional cellspots and run a mesh for about $80 to handle more devices AND get better coverage.

Also probably doesn't need to be said, but install Asus Merlin if you haven't already. It upgrades the cellspot to a 68U.

Using Archer C9 for 5 years now. And it still works great even for gaming. So, stop spreading misinformation.
Just to piggy bank off of this. Ive had the c9 for 5 years as well and it still holds strong. Zero complaints from tp link.
