Highlights
Quality
Otherwise, it was a very good buy and i am happy with it.
Best thing about this is it works with the horrible att provided modems and tech support will help you set it up.
4ghz band dropped bandwidth significantly and the 5ghz still worked pretty good.
Initially , i was a little agitated with the purchase price, like a typical dad, but 6+ years later, i got bang for the buck!
Price
The price was steep, but i am glad i spent a little more on it.
Competitiveness
If you install asuswrt merlin or johns fork you can get a lot more life out of these routers.
I would say look at the asus rt-ac86u for the current mid-tier priced, or the asus rt-ac68u for the low-tier price.
