One of the features of WiFi 6 is that it supports both the 2.4 and 5GHz bands, and one of the benefits of upgrading from WiFi 5 to WiFi 6 is that you're getting a 2-generation upgrade for the 2.4 band. While 2.4 isn't exciting like 5, it is the longer-range band, and WiFi 6 offers improvements to efficiency and congestion management for that band.
The vast majority of WiFi 6 routers will have two WiFi 6 radios, one for 2.4GHz and one for 5GHz. This model, which BTW, is exclusive to Wal-Mart, cheaps out by having just one WiFi 6 radio for the 5GHz band and using a cheap legacy WiFi 4 radio for the 2.4GHz band.
Anyway, "AX1800" is generally the low-end budget spec for a "pure" WiFi 6 system (almost 600 on 2.4GHz, plus 1200 on 5GHz). "AX3000" is a midrange pure WiFi 6 system (almost 600 on 2.4GHz, plus 2400 on 5GHz from the use of wider channels). And you can spot the gimped systems by the "AX1500" or "AX1450") (300 or less on 2.4GHz, plus 1200 on 5GHz).
The real kicker is that "pure" WiFi 6 routers that support WiFi 6 on both bands are not that much more expensive. For example, look at these past SD threads:

Besides, normally, the processing order for firewalls like Cisco, PA, j; they inspect packets after they passed the ACL policy, except a few sigs. I would hope all residential firewalls with ips follow that same pattern.
Wondering how these two products compare.

If I could go back in time, I'd be all over those deals.
I guess $36 is fine given that there appears to be price inflation with WiFi routers, but people should keep in mind that corners were cut with this model.
Besides, normally, the processing order for firewalls like Cisco, PA, j; they inspect packets after they passed the ACL policy, except a few sigs. I would hope all residential firewalls with ips follow that same pattern.

Okay maybe "for the price its great." vs "Very happy with it for only $36."
Not sure I'm seeing it.
Just my opinion.
