Nice. The pro has some features over the non pro model. Faster cpu and you can create vlans without having to use alternate firmware

If Best Buy matches the price grab your old router in the closet and try for the discount

I don't believe Best Buy sells these.

They cleared out their stock from the last sale. A shame because I have a bunch of old networking gear I would've traded in to get another unit. 4x4 5ghz band and the beefy cpu embarrasses my eero 6e in AP mode. Hate eero so much for not letting us customize settings like 6ghz only mode

I wish eero would let us have different ssid for 2.4ghz, 5ghz, etc

Still only dual band which is a lot to pay for a dual band. I rather just get the ASUS RT-AXE7800 when its on sale for $200, especially if the main use was to use it with AiMesh.

Only wish the 7800 had 3x3 2.4 to support the many IoTs. Also, Merlin does not support the 7800, for those who want it. I'm hoping for the lineage of AC86, AX86, etc. that is tri-band, 3x3 2.4, 4x4 5, etc. This series seem to consistently have the among the best hardware. Won't be cheap though.


The practical matter is that with the 100+ wireless devices in my home, there is only about a dozen that supports 6Ghz and the bottleneck is the broadband service, not the 5Ghz WiFi.
