This appears to be the same as the Linksys E7350 [amazon.com] router, a $130 non-mesh capable budget model. I am not sure that the firmware are interchangeable but they are both on the same version #.

Belkin also has their AX3200 model RT3200 on sale for $80 [belkin.com] after GIFT2020 code. This seems to be the Linksys E8450 [amazon.com] ($140) that was just released this month. I think the Belkin versions are sold mostly through Walmart for $80 and $100.

Any idea if any are DD-WRT compatible?

Seams like a great deal, why can't I find any reviews on this product? I want to buy it, but don't want buyers remorse.

There are a lot of user reviews on the Walmart listing. [walmart.com]

Also reviews on the AX3200 version [walmart.com]that I mentioned earlier.

TIL Belkin is still a company.

Also, how do you have a product page that does not provide all the specs for the product? Is it 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax for both bands?

160 MHz sounds overrated for most households.

Straight from that article..

So, a good Wi-Fi 6 router, strictly in terms of speeds, needs to have 4×4 specs (or higher) on a single band, a couple of multi-gig network ports. Most importantly, it needs to support the venerable 160MHz channel bandwidth.

If we go down the 80mhz is enough for most people road - then we can say the same for wifi6 and say 802.11ac is enough


My thought is - with many households WFH and kids remote learning, $100+ for a better quality router becomes an easier purchase to make. All depends on a case by case basis obviously.

Use case certainly matters more than WiFi5 vs 6; pricing; 160 MHz etc.

I'm in the market for a R7000 replacement. Tested EAP245 ($55), Tplink ax1500 ($70), deco w3600 ($150), archer c4000 ($100).

Ax1500 and deco are wifi6. C4000 is WiFi5. I have 300/300 service. I see comparable speeds in the 250/300 mpbs range on a iPhone XR and other wifi6 clients on all three of the routers in my working locations around the home. The deco is 2x the cost of the ax1500 due to two units but I'm not really getting any speed improvements from a real world perspective. The archer c4000 is priced in between and WiFi5. Same 5ghz speed as the other routers.

On the 2.4 ghz range (for ring/wyze cameras) the ax1500 is noticeably weaker in power. The c4000 has a bit more power than the deco.

Seems like the c4000 fits my use cases. No need to spend $150 or higher for the pricier models.

I've been a dd-wrt fan for almost 20 years, but no decent active builds available any more. So, gave up this year and switched to Orbi mesh...

Yeah seems like the rt3200 doesn't support AX on 2.4 ghz, which makes no sense!
RT 3200 has 4 antennas usb 2.0 VS RT1800 2 and usb 3.0
Kinda confusing
