@Tony why hasn't anyone from TP-LINK responded to these requests.  These are valid and should be responded to.  Unless there is another avenue to obtain information.  Your phone support for some time now has been indicating released to USA but can not say where.  This product release date to USA has passed.  Has the product been canned.  Please provide the reason for the delays and updates.

@Limey I have it on Good Authority the X90 and the Costco-only AX5700 are the same, hardware-wise.  When comparing specs the only easily discernable diff is the probable lower-price pointed Costco packaged version appears 'throttled', if you will - @ the 5GHz-1 end down an Mb ( but, see below* ). I could have missed some minor detail, however the processor (1.5 GHz Quad-Core CPU), et al appears exactly the same.  ( Note that Costco's site specs state the AX5700 2.4 GHz band = 674 Mbps but that's probably a CostcoTypo ( see what I did there ); what you see below was pasted from TP-Link pages for each product )

 

AX5700
5 GHz: 3843 Mbps (802.11ax, HT160)
5 GHz: 1201 Mbps (802.11ax)
2.4 GHz: 574 Mbps (802.11ax)

AX6600
5 GHz: 4804 Mbps (802.11ax, HT160)
5 GHz: 1201 Mbps (802.11ax)
2.4 GHz: 574 Mbps (802.11ax)

The same Good Authority advised, as opposed to waiting for the X90 more than the long 10 months since announced back on Jan 6th, "As for the difference between the X5700 and X90 it does appear the 5GHz1 network is slightly slower maximum link rate, *but that may just be on paper. They are hardware wise the same. So If you can get the X5700 now I would highly recommend it."

 

I know my source and their expertise.  Our Costco AX5700 2-Banger is on the way.

I ordered my AX5700 yesterday. Can you ask your source about the memory and ram specs of the AX5700, as they don’t seem to be published and TP-Link support claims not to have any of those details, which is suspect! Also, do you know if the X90 is going to be WiFi 6E? Crazy that we have to discuss speculation about this stuff, when TP-Link could easily put it to rest!

@Darthsideous Congrats.  Ours is working great so far.

 

My source says no bueno on the memory and ram specs; doesn't have those deets, unfortunately.

 

Re WiFi 6E, no on the X90 but YAISH on X96, and - Great News! - 'Coming in 2020' .. uh I mean "Coming Soon!" :
