Re: How long will it take to price to drop?
I'd give it another 6-9 months. All depends on how well it does and retail sellers willing to start dropping the price. I'd check for deals when the christmas holidays hit. Even then you won't see a big drop in price. Maybe $100? Would be a guess.

Costco now has it for $479 and other retailers reduced it by $100. Once it hits below $300 I will bite.

Re: How long will it take to price to drop?
Anyone that purchases this router for 2.4 ghz are just wasting their money. It is 300 mhz slower and to the vast majority that makes no difference. The only thing that connects to 2.4 on my end are two old printers. This is a much better deal that paying $599

Well some may have devices that connect to 2.4Ghz faster than your printers too. It's a deal though.
Good Luck.

Re: How long will it take to price to drop?
I got my RBK852 system last week on Newegg for 550. Not sure if its still an active sale or not but was a good deal for a brand new system. Still had to pay sales tax which brought it up to 595 but beat Amazon and Ebay.

Re: How long will it take to price to drop?
So far so good-I've had it hooked up since Saturday the 28th with no issues, drops, etc. I have centurylink fiber with the Orbi acting as the router-no CL equipment. Not really seeing massive wireless speed increases per se but 400 mbps all over the house (3100 sqft) is the norm.

Looks like COstco discontinued the RBK-842. I wonder why?

Maybe only out of stock vs discontinued.

FWIW, Costco has the RBK753-100NAS in stock currently for $499.99 (that's the router and two sats).

Re: How long will it take to price to drop?
The other day I got an eMail from Amazon with the RBK853 system. So I had to take a look. Amazon was not actually selling them but they had third parties that were. I have always known the RBK853 system being priced at $900. It was in the list of sellers at $1700 or there abouts. I was gobsmacked. "Novelty Factor" wins again!!!!

Sounds like what some sellers do on fleabay. Price hike beyond what products are not worth. Hoping someone gullible will bite.
