I think $140 is still too high, especially since the SoC version will ultimately end up cheaper to produce. (vs. BCM6750 + BCM43684 disabled down to 2x2 MIMO).
On the plus side, there's prob throughput improvements on the newer model. Also moves up to a "quad core" with 1.7ghz clock speed.
I don't think its really a quad core relative to higher end units, but whatever.
I decided on an ASUS mesh system instead (XT8), works great.
If you have a single-level home then this ASUS AX3000 router may work for you. But if you have a multi-story dwelling or the floorplan has lots of corners/alcoves, I'd recommend considering another router with better range, or a mesh system.

Your old R7000 was 3x3 with decent power output per FCC rating. 820mW unii-1 + 1w unii-3. Add walls and high local congestion to the mix and yeah, obvious result.
The 58U would only superior if you're running AX clients, otherwise you're basically downgrading to weaker HW for everything else.
*There are outlier situations where 4x4 AC + 2x2 client can still compete @ range vs 2x2 AX client/router. Depends on your environment.
The XT8 is 2x2 for its main connection radios, but it has a 4x4 wireless backhaul to bridge the gap. MIMO matters less with Mesh, even more so for wired backhaul.
Will also end up supporting or already supports UNII-4 [fccid.io]for the 4x4 backhaul communication... meaning rock solid connection since no one else would be sharing spectrum with you (for awhile).
XT8 is one very solid mesh system right now. ASUS is making other mesh options seem like a joke with that FCC update lol
I think all powerful newer routers run hot. I saw many posts of the TP-Link AX3000 running hot.

Overall the XT8 has been good. Had some initial quirks and the firmware took a while to settle and become more stable. No issues in the last few months!

The 4x4 radio will give you extra range with AC clients plus has SNR benefits when using AX clients.
Id wait for the ax86U to dip down to 220 again, 170-180 for AX86S
Anyway, I just bought this to use in my AIMesh setup. The AIMesh setup does everything for you from the main router with a single click of a button, so that is nice. I used this router as basically a Repeater and I hard wire into the router and turn off wireless on my computers in my office. I get my full bandwidth (600 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up) The main reason doing it this way is for the upload. Connecting wireless to the repeater, although I can get almost full download, I cannot get more than 2 Mbps up.
