I would expect an AC3200 router to be more expensive than a WRT54GL (which is $40 today). More capable hardware with a more expensive BOM will come at a higher price.
- munk-a 6y agoAt the same time similar hardware tends to get cheaper over time and the WRT54GL hasn't really ever experienced a price drop - I'd be a bit more ready to attribute the price difference to "Because they can since the market is so locked up".
- i_am_proteus 6y agoThe WRT54GL was $60 in 2006[0]. That's about $75 today, adjusted for inflation. It's $40 today. That's a price drop, hoss. [0]https://lifehacker.com/turn-your-60-router-into-a-600-router-178132 https://lifehacker.com/turn-your-60-router-into-a-600-router...
