The last thing I want is an AI router. Feels a bit like buying into the blockchain hype.

QuoteThe TUF Little Tornado Pro BE6500 is the more expensive and, therefore, better-equipped model.

I read Gamers Nexus' Steve voice saying, "cause bigger number better".  I've paid enough attention to wrtMerlin and snbforum posts to know this just isn't true.  Some lower end models can be horrible because Asus cuts costs or the "bigger number" ones unstable for one reason or another despite having a higher cost (and they also half bake their firmware, which rMerlin goes in to try and fix).  Base Asus wifi6 routers are already $400 in my country on "sale".  Barely any 6E (which base at $700).  And we're going on 7.  Who's buying these to mesh?  Smaller mesh would be cheaper and better than these.
