BestBuy price matched so I ordered from them (via online chat).

They asked for my zip code, so I'm guessing that they check your local MicroCenter's inventory (?). Since I often travel for work I gave them two zip codes (no microcenter in my home area). No issue.

I had this before getting a axe-16000 from Asus. The ax89x has quirky issues with it's qos if you host stuff behind your router and other quirky issues. Also missing Merlin support and in general just not worth it. Asus would never acknowledge the problems but finally got tired of my complaints and sent me the 16000 which supported Merlin and thus had a proper qos.

Wouldn't this other deal on a gaming router be better? https://slickdeals.net/f/16920196-msi-radix-axe6600-wifi-6e-tri-band-gaming-router-ai-qos-rgb-1-8ghz-quad-core-processor-mu-mimo-gigabit-wireless-8-stream-high-speed-long-range-140?v=1&src=SiteSearch
Depends on your needs. The AX89X has 10Gig ethernet & sfp ports + 8x 5GHz streams which is rather unique. Most routers (including the AXE16000 mentioned up here) have no more than 4 streams per band.
