Yea, but it's good to be 2-3 generations behind on routers, because the new routers are so buggy.

When this router came out, it was bug heaven, until the community ironed things out with merlin. And you always want to buy the most popular asus model, because it has by far the most merlin users fixing bugs. In comparison, the biggest-fastest-routers, king spiders, don't get nearly as much support as the leaner pound for pound champs like the AC86u and AX86u. Go 1 model higher, ac87u, barely anyone bought those.

When we switch to 7 in about 5-10 years, we should probably buy the WIFI7 - 86u.
Not hating on this deal, but just to put things into perspective: This router has been $219.99 almost continuously since June of last year. While this may be near the lowest price ever, it is less than 10% off from the normal street price of this router.
Do your clients support WiFi 7? What's the benefit of WiFi 7 ?

I'm probably 5+ generations behind with the N66u but it's been working great for us for the past 10+ years even with the stock firmware. We've never had any disconnects with Comcast since combining this with the SB6183 modem. Then again we're on a 50mbps plan so if we ever upgraded to faster bandwidths, we'd probably upgrade the modem and router.

Quote from IrishWhiskey :
This vs 2-pack Mesh TP-Link XE75 (or a lesser system?)

Our beach condo is basically one long hallway (Front door common room & kitchen->bedroom1->bedroom2->bedroom3) and the cable connection comes in right near the front door.
It sounds like a two unit mesh system, with each of the two units within line of sight of each other at opposite ends of the hallway, would work out best.

I've had this router for 3 years already and it has been rock solid! Like some have said, it had its fee bugs but Asus is pretty good about pushing out new firmware. Got a new firmware earlier this year.

If you can use it, this router is still worth every penny
