bragging rights on the internet, plus at the office of a hip start up or media/agency company.
Please also see other top purchases of such value such as smart thermostats, in car navigation systems that are obsolete before the car leaves the lot, etc.
I can add more if interested, PLMK

Asus GT-AC5300 router at $299 for now. Just curious what this router does/provides at a sale price of $299 over any other router or the one that comes with your service provider.
Lots...
I can give you an example on one feature in particular with Asus-Merlin (aftermarket firmware) that I use..
network wide ad-blocking.

Upgrading to an Asus RT-AC3100 from Rogers modem + router provided a significant improvement to wifi speeds. I didn't even realize I was bottlenecked until I installed the router.
Also had range issues with a 2.4Ghz client that streams 24/7 (2 walls, brick, and whatever the fuck else.)
The (new) Asus routers have a real sweet webUI and app, and provides good intel on what's going in real-time. I can see which clients is polling/downloading/uploading, which are connected, which are stale, etc.
If I pick up the GT-AC5300, I can mesh them together, or just use the GT-AC5300. It's tri-band, i.e. it's got 2 5Ghz channels -- won't help me per se re: my range issue with the 2.4Ghz client directly, but I COULD pair it up with an older Asus repeater which receives on 2.4Ghz, then send (to the router) via 5Ghz, thereby giving any 2.4Ghz 24/7 streaming clients a band of their own.
IIRC the GT-AC5300 also has 8 lan jacks, which means I can get rid of my 4-port network hub.

- Insta360 Nano X (ordered, came with free invisible selfie stick) -- Will need to order a 64GB class 30 MicroSD card
- 12-page shredder @ Best Buy
- Undecided on the Asus GT-AC5300 router @ $299 ... they just came out with a brand new series (instead of 'AC' wireless, it's 'AX' )...
