This is a steal. RoG version of the AC86U with special capabilities such as 160mhz (Granted it drops to 2x2 mode and performs worse than the native 4x4 mode in 80mhz @ long range.

When I had both, this specific model out performed the AX86U on early firmware when tested in the same channels with an intel AX200 card. (subjective environment). I can't tell you if that's still the case as I returned my AX86U early on in favor of this model. (I've used/tested most popular higher end AX/AC routers with broadcom hardware including the 6E RoG one that came out half a year ago).

Max bandwidth @ 30 feet is around high 600s low 700s for me on a 1G fiber plan. (subjective environment).

Again, this is one of the best AC routers on the market. Out performs tons of AX routers at range.

Seems like a good price, but no WIFI6 kinda kills it imo.

Any wifi6 router in this price range is significantly worse in regards to actual range/performance.

You have to tread into $200 sale price on 4x4 AX radios to find something competitive.
