If I was the perp I wouldn't have pulled this in the first place, but if I had an attack of stupidity and actually did it, I'd put it right before it blew up. I'd go back to the store and tell them that I had made a mistake and had returned a unit that had been bought from another retailer. That would hopefully cover my ass. Of course, if this was the sorta $#1t I pulled all the time, then I'd do nothing but just sit back and enjoy my freedom while I could.
Costco's return policy isn't unlimited anyways. It says they guarantee your satisfaction on items. It's always up to the manager to if they want to accept or deny a return Rarely though do they refuse returns on normal things. Source: I've worked at Costco and my brother is a manager
What I learned though is the 2nd generation Trib-band doesn't bring better coverage than the 1st gen. Check out Amazon Netgear model comparison here https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KWHMR6G
The 1st gen tri-band, e.g. Asus rt-ac3200, netgear X6 (this one), used technology two generation ago, therefore you'd find the coverage is weaker than the cheaper older model. from that Amazon table, you can see X6 used the same processor and antenna from X4 and even earlier.
After realized these, instead of upgrading to the latest 2nd gen tri-band, I simply bought couple used older models, in my case I installed two asus rt-ac68u, as repeaters, and inter-connected via the 5Ghz bands. Suddenly I have strong signal everywhere even to neighbors and street.
Obviously, a single latest dual-band router such as Asus rt-88u (a,k.a 3100u) or Netgear X4S might achieve the same, but I love the single SSID dynamic switch feature from the tri-band router and repeaters are also set with the same SSID for roaming.

We think alike... My exact response to someone justifying an expensive ac5400 router for his aunt. Last page, final comment.

No, it wouldn't be.
On SNB, the chart also shows ac1900 class of router from any manufacture are generally better on 2.4Ghz. I believe the later models might've improved 5Ghz radio dramatically, but consequently ruined the 2.4Ghz as a trade-off, of course nobody would say that out loud.
I had the same issue. The WAN port stopped working right after 1 year warranty expired. I'm using it as an AP now. No more Netgear.
