No idea. I would have guessed something around 250$, which would make it about 50$ more expensive than the next model underneath it.
A 100$ gap in a product range is a fairly large gap IMHO.
The RT-N66 and RT-AC66 were both wall-mountable.
Have you seen anything indicating that the RT-AC3200 wouldn't be? Seeing the flat design shown at Computex, I suspect it might be.
currently the retail price for the RT-68U is still suppose to be $230. with netgears being $10-30 cheaper and offering the option off wallmounting. if asus were to make there RT-AC3200 wallmountable again like the RT-AC66U ( the last good, wallmountable asus router) that would be nice. it has been over 2 years since asus announced anything nice thats wallmountable.
the other day i was leaning towards MU-MIMO rather then these AC3200 class badboys.
but now im thinking. since MU-MIMO requires client compatability that the AC3200 class might be better for most older 5GHz N clients. simply adding more lanes rather then using them more efficiently
eventually AC3200 MU-MIMO or AC4000 (4X4) MU-MIMO would be what id like ideally.
up those 80MHz channels to 160MHz and boom AC4000 Turns into AC 7500
to be fair as a company i like asus. and i might just choose the AC3200 over this R8000.
but if i were to go the MU-MIMO route. i can't even consider the RT-AC87U because it looks to have the same non-wallmountable design at the RT-68
i guess i can just cross my fingers and hope Asus makes a good AC3200 competitor product soon.
i think in the home router world. people have proved they want new products more then they want working products.
for companies to get the next greatest thing out the door ASAP is more important then having it being 100% functional unforunately.
it will continue to be this way untill people start being smarter.
this is why you dont see business class routers changing there top spec every 6 months..... even AC has not been implemented in most businesses. and if it is its a big descision. its not like oh theres a new router lets just buy it and cross out fingers it does what we need
