That's about double the price of their WIFI 6E routers.

>Product availability for US market:

Archer BE900 -- BE24000 Quad-band Wi-Fi 7 router -- $699.99 Deco BE85--BE22000 Tri-band Mesh Wi-Fi 7 System-- $999.99 (2 pack) Deco BE95 -- BE33000 Quad-band Mesh Wi-Fi 7 System -- $1199.99 (2 pack) The three above products will be available for pre-order on 12/31/2022 and will ship in Q1, 2023. Additional products will become available throughout Q1 and Q2 2023.


It feels increasingly like wifi-routers and home-servers should increasingly converge. If you have such an expensive thing, why not have a fancy 8-core x86 system with a 5 drive NAS in it? Keep going, don't stop, make it the fixture of the network.

I think mainly this is held back by very few users being such power users. There's just not a lot of great ways to expose the power/capabilities to folk. Starting with some of the existing COTS NAS OS'es would probably be the best starting place.
