Thanks for your question. For pricing, please refer to the article. 

The process of making this available on other routers has a lot to do with what chipsets and performance characteristics each device has. Each new device requires testing and regression to make sure it's all working correctly. There are several Nighthawk routers and Orbi WiFi Routers we are bringing this technology to, but are not announcing specifically which ones at this time. As more details become available we will announce here in the NETGEAR Forums. Thanks! [emphasis added]
