WiFi 6E is not the huge upgrade that many people consider it to be. It will make no difference unless (1) your devices support it, which is still somewhat uncommon and, more importantly, (2) you are extremely close to the router. Many/most people do not find much of a benefit from having 6E. WiFi 7 will bring a much bigger boost in performance, but of course will also require device support.

People may have different ideas for what they consider obsolete. this is a WiFi 6 router with some of the best performance and stability on the market, as a few other people have mentioned. For the majority of people, this is a really solid option at a good price, I wouldn't dismiss it just for some vague notion of obsolescence. It will last for a long time with good, and stable, performance.

Just bought the RT-AX88U pro. I will only buy Asus routers going forward. Highly recommend either one.

I have this router. It's probably one of the best purchases I've made over the past couple of years. I consistently pull the same speeds over WiFi that I pull on a wired connection. I use the Merlin software on it. Update it maybe once or twice a year. Other than that, no maintenance necessary. It just works flawlessly.

The 7800 only has a single 2.5 port, which is kind of useless IMO. The one has dual 2.5 ports, so if you have a >1Gbps connection, this is the only one that lets you use that extra bandwidth on the wired network.

Now, this, is a deal! Amazing router with stellar performance! Been using (non-pro) version for more than 3 years and no complaints whatsoever. Since this is pro, you can use vlan capabilities but you need to use the beta firmware.
