My current router (Asus AC68U) it something around 740mbits wan to lan through and I would obviously want to achieve more than that if I upgraded to 1gbit. Without coughing up ~£400 for an AX11000 plus the relevant nic and patch cables (>1gbit) I have been looking at the AC86U which has 940mbits wan to lan throughput and is the cracking price of £119 on Amazon. Get it while you can peeps!
I have one of those connected to an Asus rog gt ac5300 as an aimesh node, I'll let you know tomorrow what actual speeds they get.
