Deal HistoryÂ
Deal History includes data from multiple reputable stores, such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The lowest price among stores for a given day is selected as the "Sale Price".
Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
Got the Costco 7800 one, it's working great so far, just know they sell security features for cost, and I don't believe you can load other firmware to it, if you can on this Asus that would be a big plus
Prices are still relatively high for "old" Wifi 6 non-E.
If you don't mind talking to humans in store and YMMV, note that Best Buy has the same $230 price and might allow you to trade an old modem or router for an extra 15% off (making this $195.50).
If it's not in stock at your store, you can try (very YMMV) to ask a manager if you can have it ordered in store for delivery to your house with the 15% discount (before you hand over your old equipment).
Only a dual band router, while its a great dual band router, not worth anything over $200 IMO though. Asus launched this and its little brother at a very poor time when the world was already on wifi 6E and the first wifi 7 routers started hitting store shelves...
I am using one right now, and it's been one of the best routers that I've used in the last 20+ years in terms of range, speed and stability.
Unless you also own other $200+ modern routers, this doesn't really say much given that hardware gets better and cheaper over time. It goes without saying a $200+ router in 2023 is going to provide better performance than anything made 10+ years ago. If anything, saying "one of" the best is a bit concerning, implying you've owned better-performing routers.

I wish these routers did not cost as much as a laptop though.
