Yes,you have to take the old one to the store-I played dumb and took it after placing the order online.They gave me a paper coupon to present when picking up the order.Do the price match online,before you go to pick up,because the price will be lower after the coupon is applied.Hope this helps!

Crazy how the prices are holding. I got this at the standard price of $250 about a year and half back.

I bought this router about 5 months ago to use with my Xfinity service. It was great up until about a month ago. if you have Comcast/Xfinity I would steer clear of this router. I have had to buy a new/different router this week due to an issue this router has with them. Google this "Your ISP's DHCP does not function properly" add in the router and/or Xfinity and you will see it's a common issue. Just thought I would share my recent experience with this router.

Clone the MAC address in the router WAN setting. Right under the MAC address, change DHCP querry frequency from aggressive to normal. You have to do it through the browser login.

Up to 35 devices doesn't sound like much of a selling point. I have more than that on my old WRT 1900 ACS.

I have like 73 devices. This router is in another universe when it comes to range, power, and devices on it compared to the WRT.

Does anyone know how well this supports ASUS AiMesh? I have two nodes ZenWiFi XD6. Wondering if I could use this as the main router and have the other two join?

I had this same problem with an ASUS RT-N66U. But when I removed the N66U and hooked directly to the Comcast gateway I got the same error. I had a tech from Comcast come and he confirmed that it was their gateway that had gone bad. He replaced it with another one and I was back in business again.

The N66U was sometimes getting flaky on the 2.4 band after 9 years of service so I replaced it with an AC86U.
