As usual, being an early adopter is tremendously expensive with diminishing returns. Nonsensical to buy this when tri-band wifi 6E mesh setups like TP-Link's XE75 Pro are regularly on sale for ~$250-300 or so for 3 pucks with comparable gigabit wireless performance and range.

Sure, it's only 1Gbit, not 10Gbit, but is the difference really worth +$2000? Might as well just go wired 10GbE with spaced APs for that amount of investment.
