No mention of whether it supports 802.11ax. Why are WiFi devices lagging in speed advancements so much?
I ended up purchasing a second hand AirPort Extreme because it’s still one of the best performing 802.11ac devices (in my anecdotal experiences of running a lot of clients)... and it’s OLD!
I switched to Ubiquiti and won't look back. It's cheaper, enterprise grade hardware. If you know anything about networking, setting up the environment isn't that big of a deal, but is definitely a deterrent for some.
Especially not the last 3 years or so when it’s been a buggy software mess of outdated dependencies.
works like a charm
No blinking lights, no fighter-jet aesthetic, just fast reliable boring looking panels.

And there's a new faster one available now:

ax really doesn’t do much for most home networks. In a small network, 802.11n will provide all the throughput necessary to stream most things at 4K. And few people even have a connection faster than ac allows.
ax provides faster speeds for highly congested networks, as well as better battery life for phones. That’s mostly what it’s about. It’s unlikely you’d see a difference between ac or ax on a small home network.
At the end I may run out of patience and just look for something second hand.
I get 930 u/d wired.
Even if it does support WiFi6( 802.11AX), there are no client devices that support WiFi 6 yet.
EDIT: Apparently iPhone 11 pros support WiFi6 [0]

Somewhere in a router's lifespan, someone in my household will buy a new Wi-Fi client. If I need to get a new router, I might as well buy one that I don't regret and want to replace within its components' lifespan.
