We are looking at purchasing ISR4331 routers and we are looking at two flavors of the IOS, one with AX and one without. The price difference is a little over $1000. I was wondering if anyone has any experience or managed an AX router and what are the benefits? Is it worth the extra $1000?
Thanks in advance !

There are two types of people who go to restaurants: One who reads from left-to-right and another who reads from right-to-left.
What's the significance? A lot of people who buy Cisco gears are the type who reads from right-to-left. Nearly all of the people of this "type" gets to buy the wrong gear fitted for the purpose.
What am I getting at? The price is the last thing you need to look for. What I want to know is this: How big is your WAN link and what is going to be your WAN link like in the next 5 years.
Answer this very basic question and we'll be able to help determine if you've picked the right router model for your needs.

The WAN links range from T-1 to 10MB. Most likely they will stay at this range within the next 5 years.

Toink! 10 Mbps up to 5 years???
4331 would be a major over-kill for a measly 10 Mbps link. You can potentially look at the Cisco 890 routers. The routers come with either an 8-port Layer 2 switch built-in or a 24-port Layer 2 switch (with 8-ports PoE).
