Does anyone know how the Nighthawk X6S AC3000 Tri-Band WiFi Router (R7900P), on black Friday sale [$130] at Costco, compares to the Netgear R7800 Nighthawk X4S Smart WiFi Gaming Router ? Would it have equivalent wireless throughput?

How about the NIGHTHAWK AC2600 Model: R7450? It's $100 at Walmart on BF.

The R7900P is an insignificantly crippled R8000P. It lacks a USB 2.0 port and has NitroQAM disabled. Few clients support NitroQAM anyways and the feature requires a nearly perfect signal to work. See https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Netgear_R7900P

Please see NETGEAR Nighthawk AC2100 Smart WiFi Router for my interpretation of details about the R7450 and equivalent models. The AC2100 will be $80 at Staples, the AC2400 $90 at Best Buy, and the AC2600 $100 at Walmart. You can get brand new R7450s on ebay for $100 or less right now though.
