Have you used Netgear Nighhawk X6?

I have read a lot of reviews of Netgear Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Wireless router. Some even say it as best wireless router 2017. Have anyone used this router? How is the performance and range. Also in images it looks bulky. Is it good choice for 3.2 Gbps Speed ?

The issue I have here is the price and performance is not in line. CNET wrote:
"The Bad The router has a buggy 2.4Ghz band and comparatively short Wi-Fi range, and -- when all is working as intended -- it doesn't perform any better than other AC1900 routers. It's also crazily expensive."

While updates helped it still doesn't do any better than other AC1900 routers.
