Shame this deal didn't get more traction. All-time low on probably the best dual-band WiFi 6 router.

very use and set up dependent the tp-link deco is great for covering a large space with a mesh, but you need to make sure you set it up so it tranfers between units based on signal strength at a good number, like 50-70% or your devices might attempt to stay attached to the first device even though you're across the space from it. the asus is one of the best if you are looking for a large space with a single unit. also better for multiple attached physical devices and the software is top notch

So far I'm tracking this as the best deal for a single device router with 2.5 GB ports....6E isn't worth the same or more cost in exchange for the 2.5 Gb ports, though in some ways they're just a number, I'm just thinking of aligning max throughput for my PC to my router in case I ever do upgrade internet beyond 1Gb....

Almost identical hardware, with different exterior appearances. USB Port wise, the GT-AX6000 has one USB 3.1 gen 2 port and one USB 2.0 power, while the RT-AX88U Pro has a single USB 3.1 gen 2 port.

looks are subjective of course. For the most part, it seems more like which ever is less expensive at the given moment....at this point it looks like the GT-AX6000 is $260 on Amazon, versus the $230 mentioned in this post for the RT-AX88U Pro.

Oh yeah, the GT also has a mobile gaming mode if that is important to you.

In-depth RT-AX88U Pro Review [dongknows.com]

Same reviewer comparing both routers in-depth [dongknows.com]

Adding this because it was a little tricky to find the GT for $260 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09L8PC...X0DER&th=1

Lastest edit because comparison was so far off because the non-PRO RT shifted from one Gigabit WAN and eight Gigabit LANs to the PRO with two 2.5Gbps ports (one WAN one LAN) and four Gigabit LANs). Also, the processor was upgraded.
