Still can't bring myself to spend that much on a router that was released in July 2020 (basically 3 months shy of 3 years at this point). I feel like 99-130 would be a slick deal.
I am getting ~ 600-740 Mbit/s download on wireless real world performance throughout the place with 2 AX86S in AirMesh on 5ghz (Ethernet backhaul). ~940 ish download via ethernet (Comcast 1.2 Gbit/s connection). Same on iPhone 13/14. Super stable connection. Netgear CM1100 modem.

The AXE7800 is 6e and is newer but there's very little information about it out there. The AX86U seems very popular.

I get 800mbps about 20 feet away from it from a 1 gig line. I think 20% is about the lowest sort of dropoff I've ever seen.

For the longest time, GT-AC2900 (4x4 AC) was competing with AX hardware for me subjectivity.
EMI/Local interference is a factor, hence why the other guy prob didn't see an improvement.

You have to follow the directions so it'll take and stick with other firmware (like AsusWRT-Merlin or normal Asus firmware for AC68u). Once on newer firmware they should be able to mesh like any newer Asus router.
