Thumb Score: 0

If you’re willing to spend $ 330, or even $ 4×0 for the R9000 at amazon for this router, I can assume you know what you’re looking at. Also, don’t buy it for the WiFI alone – it is just another AC2600, or ven less than that, but it is a flagship router with fancy but useless 802.11ad 😀

This router appears to be a feature-limited R9000 exclusively for Costco like the Netgear AC1450 was. The only obvious change from the R9000 to this R8900 is the lack of non-standard 256-QAM support for 2.4GHz 802.11n which reduces the maximum theoretical speed from 800Mbps to 600 Mbps.​
