[webdriver]

It attracted my attention that once very popular item like ASUS AC68U, typical go for $40ish, now dropped their price significantly -- some guy sell 3 bundle for total of $40, and stays on market for a week now.
Think that AC era ended.

Someone in my town gave away a set of 2 (AC1900P and AC68U v2) on facebook for free a month ago, so $40 is steep. My AC1900 variant of the AC68U was $35 on clearance at Walmart in 2017

The AC era ended quite a while ago, especially the early models like the AC68U.

My AC86U (with H/W NAT accelerated WireGuard) would like a word....

Hey, I'm still running AC1900 (AC68U), just not under any misconception that it is still current technology. Serves my purposes fine. Bought it in 2017 for $35 new. Owes me nothing.

I was also still using a AC1900 for our camping router tethered to a phone until this year. I purchased a GL-iNet cellular router which is working out good and allows me to use WireGuard to connect to my AC86U at home.
