Never heard of this happening on smallnetbuilder forums. Did you actually scan for wifi channel interference in your home and manually set the wifi channel? Run the merlin custom firmware? This router needs to be tinkered with...

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
