    I have Linksys WRT1900ACS that I was using since 2016 in my old 2200 square foot home - 1100 sq ft per floor.

    I've been wanting the 89X for a while now but it's been sold out everywhere for over 3 weeks. The 88U is also on my radar and I can find that in stock. I really have no need to the 10G Ethernet or the 10G SFP as I don't run any servers at home. What I do have is a smart home with a lot of...
