Ask HN: Why have WiFi routers become so expensive?
In February 2022 I bought an Asus RT-AC86U for 85€. Its price has nothing but increased. Today it costs 245€ almost 3X more!!! A 5 year old model that doesn't even support the latest wifi standards. All the Asus modems I occasionally check (as I would like to test mesh) follow a similar pattern. Anyone has an explanation why even Nvidia lowers it's prices but not wifi routeurs?
