I'm waiting for the ROG model. There's about 4 or 5 routers that are supposed to hit this spring from Asus.

I definitely would wait until actual stock exists.

Good router. I think it is the second time in a month at that price. I may become a norm as I have seen other AX routers are also dropping their price by around 10% on sale.

Good deal, I've been watching this for a while and it's been out of stock for a long time and everyone raised their price to $280.

This router is a hit or miss. Seems to have QC issues. I returned the one I got from Best Buy. I guess I could buy it again to see how it is but it was really inconsistent with signal/speeds for me to warrant $250

I have this with wifi6 and it's a game changer! Not running mesh currently because it alone has all the coverage I need. Many of my devices are wired so ymmv
