Keep your eyes on slickdeals.net, but be careful I have been buying too many stuff because of this site.

Yes, you can easily go broke "saving money" on slick deals. lol

Well, I ended buying a Netgear R7000 for $125 on eBay.

I love my Netgear r7000. I am getting 866Mbps on SF3. I have seen it went on sale as low as $130.

Do you have a Custom Firmware installed or you are using the Netgear one?

Does anyone have any experience with this router?

Yes, I just got one. Its awesome with every device in my home EXCEPT MY 2 SP3s Connecting to the interenet works fine in AC 5Ghz
but The SP3is completely useless connecting to my NAS in 5Ghz. I have to manually select the 2.4Ghz band in Device manager if I want to move files between my network attached devices. Last night I took a 335 MB file and moved it from NAS to PC in 1 minute at 2.4 N
The same file on the AC Channel at 5Ghz took 1 hour 35 minutes.

I dont blame the router but I am completely pissed with this SP3 and MS

Try following this thread here: Solved - New Surface user, terrible 5GHz | Page 2 | Microsoft Surface Forums

BTW, No issues whatsoever on 5 GHz using the Linksys WRT1900ACv1 (also uses Marvell chip like SP3).
