2.5Gbps WAN port, USB-C 3.0 and More
Both routers are loaded with a 2.5Gbps WAN port and eight gigabit LAN ports, ensuring top-speed internet access and wired connections. USB-C 3.0 and USB-A 3.0 ports transfer data at blistering speeds for peak performance.

I think most people buying these would be buying it for the throughput and not gaming performance.
$500 bucks for a gaming router, ouch. waste of money? I would like to see some reviews in how much it would improve your gaming performance in reality.

Buying a wireless router to improve your gaming performance is like removing the muffler from your car for more power:
It probably won't do anything at all, since it isn't usually the source of bottlenecking.

^ This.
the more throughput the wireless bands can handle the better. With a massive number of devices in each home all running over wireless its becoming more and more important.

Completely and utterly useless to me until I can get 802.11ax adapters for my PCs.

Look at that thing. Looks like something you'd practice satanic rituals with.

Been waiting on a stable 160MHz router for a while now. My Mini-ITX with an Intel 9260 will connect at 1.7Mbs and it does make a significant difference. The two routers I've had so far have had issues. Failing radios, Linksys, and unstable connectivity, Netgear. Going to try the AX6000 or the Asus AX88U.

I'd rather use a $50 worth of Ethernet cables and switches.

Think again.
one of the key improvements when you can't get a wired connection is having as few devices on a given radio as possible, AFAIK, these have dual 5Ghz AX radios's and a single N radio.

True. In my case, I have more than a year to see a new firmware for improved performance and fixing some minor bugs to their best and top of the line modem-router. I feel like WTF is going on. Their forums also are like abandoned or high school's archives
