$200 at my costco. Was due for an upgrade so I pulled the trigger.

I feel mixed about it because the specs / speeds are insane for the price. But within ~2 weeks I had a unit fail (wasn't a huge deal because Costco returns are easy). Still a bit wary of how this will work long term but it is on par with many $500 systems out there.

No one should be buying TP-Link anything in 2025, especially with the pretty real threat of a ban on the brand in the US due to built-in CCP backdoors and exploits...

Would love a mesh product but it seems they lack so many common features that non mesh systems have.

The article says nothing but speculation. Hackers are allover the world. Blaming backing up by government is always the escape goat approach

I know at least the 1.0 version of this product has issues with the top ports going bad. All 3 of mine have a bad top port. When I used it as a router, I had issues when opening a lot of P2P connections and had to reboot it from time to time. But that's OK now I just use them as wifi access points and since I installed an Opnsense router I never had the connection issues again.

This is In-Store only, did you check your local store price?

Clearance item, only a few stores will have them at this price after they sell out they will not have this particular model in again I believe my store only had one or two left yesterday and somebody looking at them.

I bought it when it dropped to $199.97 a few weeks ago. Just came back from local Costco store and they were able to do a price adjustment to $169.97.

Ok the price is in store only
strange the tag on it said $250, one of the cashiers scanned it at $250. customer service put in the item number and it showed $169. then self. checkout it scanned at $169. (before tax) so i got one for $169. just in case anyone has similar issues
