All I'm saying is, if your gonna go WiFi 7, be sure all of the devices are WiFi 6 or WiFi 7 so they can take advantage of the features and try not to use ancient WiFi standards with the new ones
There was a previous post regarding this router. At that time there was actually a hard-to-notice difference between the Walmart version and standard.
I believe the outgoing Ethernet ports on the Walmart version are different. On this version, all 4 ports are 2.5 Gbps. The Walmart version only has 1 or 2 2.5 Gbps ports, and the remaining are 1 Gbps
edit: if you compare images of the back of the router between Amazon/Walmart this still seems to be the case. So Amazon version is superior if the speed of the ports matters to you.
Exactly. I had issues with the TP link ax6000 and the archer c9 with rev 1 hardware.
What you're missing is that wifi is NOT only used for internet access, but accessing internal resources as well. connecting to my nas over wifi from my laptop at even 2.5gb/s would be fantastic compared to the ~900mb/s I get from my existing wifi 6e router, however, I would have GREATLY preferred if they equipped this thing with 10g so I could take advantage of the 5760mb/s on 6ghz, and preferably combine bandwidth across 5ghz and 6ghz to make an even bigger difference. I was SOOOO happy when I upgraded my internal wired network to 10g. file transfers to and from my file servers and virtualization cluster are VASTLY improved as are backup speeds (though that stuff generally runs while i'm sleeping so fast backups aren't an extremely high priority). my current wan speed is 2.4gb/s symmetrical (over-provisioned 2gb/s but I RARELY get below 2.4gb/s) and I do have the option of upgrading my fiber subscription to 5gb/s but so far I haven't needed that yet though and it's wicked expensive.
tl;dr: I don't think the be9300 is for me because of the STUPID 2.5gb/s network ports... if it had 10g, I'd probably pull the trigger right now.

Everything in my home runs on 6 at this point.
Regardless, this is a pretty great option for a router if you are looking for 2.5 Gb eth
I have an old hp officejet pro 8600 that uses the cheap third party ink. Its reliable and works but refuses to work on my ASUS WiFi 6 router. So I have it set as a AC router and everything works good and we have no problems not using WiFi 6 around here. I will gladly forgo WiFi 6 as long as that printer keeps working and I don't have to deal with HPs barbaric printer ink moneygrab scam business model lol
This is more reflective of you wanting to avoid firmware updates that brick third party cartridges vs one of those updates likely getting the printer to play nice on a WiFi6 router....lol

Fair enough but I don't have anything directly connected to my router other than the modem. I don't even know what a virtualization cluster is.
Do most people have a lot of directly wired ethernet in their homes? Seems like a lot of infrastructure to run all that Cat6, especially if you're renting or have an older home.
