    Not sure what crowd this is going to get... I'm not even in need of anything like this with my internet... and I have faster internet than most of the US.
     
    *EDIT*
    I suppose this would be great for local transfers... even then, most wireless A/C receivers can't get much more than 800Mbps.

    Looks like consumer grade routers are starting to cross into enterprise grade territory.
    Not a bad deal for 400 bucks.

    I'm playing around with the new ASUS for a comparison to the Pakedge equipment I use.

    Home/Small business with Google fiber? Other than that, not sure who this would market to either.

    My nighthawk that they first introduced does everything my family can throw at it, and the whole family is wireless. With both my brother and me gaming online with usually a twitch streamer on a second monitor if one is live. This is with 65D/4.5U

    Basically, looks like hardware waiting for internet to catch up.

    Case - Phanteks Enthoo Evolv X
    Mobo - EVGA X570 FTW
    CPU - AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
    RAM - 32GB Trident Z Royal 3600MHz 14-14-14-34
    GPU - EVGA RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 Ultra Gaming
    PSU - Seasonic Prime TX-1000
    Heatkiller IV CPU Waterblock / Heatkiller V GPU Waterblock
    Heatkiller V EBC Active Backplate / Two Heatkiller Rad 360 L
    Six Noctua NF-A12x25 / Heatkiller D5 Pump
