After discount it was $212.49 + tax
I believe the best price to date has been $229.99 at Microcenter.

The dual core BCM4906 is just a silicon disabled BCM4908 quad. Was an easy modification for ASUS to pull off to sell it at a slightly lower price point. Router shares FCC output certification meaning performance won't really change outside of unit to unit variance.
Both the processors are over 6 years old at this point, but ASUS charges an arm and a leg for routers with newer Broadcom silicon on newer nodes/die shrinks. IE GT-AX-6000.. cant win XD

At the end of the day, its a good price for this router, regardless if you are giving a recommendation to buy one.
Going to pick up one of these to add as a node.
Note: this is only a SD because of 15% discount. also, chase had some offers for selected few. check them before buying!

I'm just faulting ASUS' pricing metrics and stagnating true next gen hardware, but its not like other brands are in a hurry either..
GT-AX6000 for example is basically a true AX88U successor and prob the best 4x4 + 4x4 BCM based router on the market considering the newer platform, but I wouldn't recommend that people pay 2x the price when AX86U will be fine for most people
That aside the new Synology AX6600 tri brand is a really nice Qualcomm platform and the MSRP is actually quite reasonable. (supports UNII-4 high output over 1w)
I wish they made a 4x4 + 4x4 AX6000 version but beggars cant be choosers.
