I am trying to decide between two Netgear routers.

Costco has the NETGEAR Nighthawk 6-Stream AX4300 for $130, down from $200 right now.

It says it's wifi six but the details show up to 802.11 ac

Is this some sort of strange advertising issue?

I'm looking at another similar wifi router from the same line that's newer and more expensive.

Netgear Nighthawk AX4200, which appears to be a true wifi 6 router with 802.11ax.

    AX4300/AX4200 are speeds not models. 

    What 2 models are you comparing. 

     

    The whole AX**** part of the speed implies its a wireless 6 (AX) device.
