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.

Firmware makes a big difference. Asuswrt-Merlin is the one to go with. Plenty of discussion on which fw is best and most stable on SNBForums:

Exact opposite here, this router blew away my TP Link wifi 6 router (a more basic wifi 6). Old router kept disconnecting and the range wasn't great. This Asus was a world of difference.
