Firmware is automatically updated/managed. Not sure I would trust that. What are the odds they're monitoring usage to improve the system?
Apparently, the reviews in Amazon tells AX1500 is a lemon. AX1800 probably fixes a few things but still problematic:

I was going to buy 6 of these just to get free shipping, and use it as mesh wifi AP, but it turns out it there is a limit of one per order.
I just added the USB adapter for over $30 orders get free shipping...Least good for gifting...
can you run openwrt on these?
Would this be an improvement over an old Netgear R7000?
I just tried ordering, it is sold out.
Sold Out.... :(
$13 shipping but ok
edit: not trying to be super critical. in my head it was just notably old world, was what buying stuff online used to be like.
Based on some reviews, this is a sub-par router, especially in terms of reliability and 2.4GHz performance. Perhaps they're just trying to liquidate their stock of it and make a few bucks while they're at it.
