How is an AC Wifi 5 router a Deal @130 when the ASUS AX55 Wifi 6 router was a deal @$80 last week when its 250% faster? Assuming gamers would rev up to the fastest platform

As Intel put it, "Wi-Fi 6 is capable of a maximum throughput of 9.6 Gbps across multiple channels, compared to 3.5 Gbps on Wi-Fi 5." In theory, a WiFi 6 capable router could hit speeds over 250% faster than current WiFi 5 devices.

wifi 6 isn't a single speed.. 9.6gbps isn't standard.

After comparing the internal specs of these two routers found through tech website reviews, this router has a faster CPU (Cortex A53 cores), more ram (512mb) , more internal storage (256mb), and is 4x4 MU-MIMO.

That $80 RT-AX55 router has a quad core CPU but with weaker cores (Cortex A7 cores), 256mb or RAM, 128mb of internal storage, and is only 2x2 MU-MIMO.
