    Any difference between the Costco ones and the Best Buy ones?  Must be something since it is $100 price difference.  Thanks!

      The Costco system is an RBK842 AC5700 vs. Best Buy's RBK852 AC6000.  From the spec sheet on the Netgear website, it appears that the 842 uses a different, 300 Mbps slower, radio on the 2.4 GHz band.   That must account for the price difference.

        So - would you buy the Bestbuy one then since it is faster or not worth the extra $100. Guess Costco has better return policy.
