Costco has them!
But only a 2-pack! Still the price is good for members comparatively - $549.99 https://www.costco.com/routers-networking.html
So - would you buy the Bestbuy one then since it is faster or not worth the extra $100. Guess Costco has better return policy.

Yeah, I wouldn't despite being a Costco member and having bought my RBK53 system there over 2 years ago.
The downside, for me personally, is the fact that the Costco system only has 1 satellite. As a result, I'd just pay the extra $100 to get the extra speed.
In my experience with routers, and other electronics, if the hardware is going to go bad, it's going to happen fairly soon after being deployed. If I were really paranoid, I'd just buy the extended warranty but, at this point, I'm sticking with my RBK53 setup.
I noticed the BestBuy has the Linksys MX10 on sale for $100 off. Maybe Orbi will follow suit. They both sound competitive on WiFi 6 based on very limited reviews.

Competitive and Linksys offers a single unit (MX5) for those who might need more than the MX10's 2-Pack. I mean, an MX10 + an MX5 would cost $1,000 but at least Linksys is offering that configuration. Netgear needs to do the same and, actually, both companies need to offer a 3-Pack.
Agree with you. I think both companies should offer a 3 pack for the price they are charging. Orbi needs to match Linksys price now, as I don't think there is any significant differences between them.
