Price

Great mesh router at a great price.

Yes, these are a bit expensive for just a 2-pack, but i feel it was worth every penny.

For a little under $300, for 2 ax6600 mesh routers, i recommend this for a medium to large home.

I felt the price was high for just a two-node system.

Packaging/appearance

Both the packaging and instructions were excellent, and so is the asus app on my iphone.
