    Netgear RAX40 (Nighthawk AX4) AX WIFI 6 for roughly 200 USD
    Ships from and sold by Amazon.com
    This item was set to be released on April 9, 2019 and listed with many online sellers before being pulled

    There is also info that Netgear engineers found a fatal flaw during the beta test that they couldn't fix so they pulled it.

    AS quick as this router went live on Amazon it was quickly removed.

    Looking over the specs of this router with it's HT160 option and its price I can gather that this router might be a good choice instead of an R7800 if someone was looking to upgrade but doesn't want to pay the much higher prices of the RAX80 and RAX120/200 plus the high end Asus AX models.
    This router should be good with an Intel 9260 or AX200

    Seller claims to have 4 available.

    I'd wait to see if it gets relisted as sold by Amazon on amazon dot com before buying this model from any source.
