  This seems to be fairly standard pricing looking at Staticice… seems like the deal here basically amounts to free delivery which isn't terribly significant given the asking price.

  Was also ~$460 delivered twice in early August.

  My RT-AC68U is working fine, waiting for this new Wifi6 version to come down in price $200 before I get a new one :D

      That's fine! Cant get faster than 100/40 on TPG FTTB Non NBN anyways, and no wifi 6 devices. :D

        My thinking is the same … 2022 will be fine for this …

          @mini_wombat: Hardly, RT-AX88U was released in 2018 and it still hasn't come down that much. RT-AC68U is still being sold for $200 and how old is that? Granted it's still being supported and I just got a brand new 2020 manufactured one as replacement from ASUS.

            @Bigboomboom: I have the RT-AC68U … but I paid around 180$ for it. Years ago. It's a wonderful router. Still going strong.
            Ah well. It might not go to $200 but it will be cheaper. I guess $300 in 2022 might be possible as a super special Ozbargain deal. One day.

  When is wifi 6x or 6ax coming ?

  • 

    Twix on 25/08/2020 - 13:17

    This Asus router is wifi 6 802.11ax. The next step is wifi 6e.

    It's here. Wifi 6E is the gen after this one and hardware will probably be available within 6 months at a guess. Devices tend to take 6 to 12 months after that.

  Does anyone know if I use this as main router and Aimesh connect to a RT-AC68U or AC86U, does the mesh nodes also has wifi6 signal?

  • 

    Twix on 25/08/2020 - 13:25

    Wifi 6 will only be on the RT-AX86U.

    • 

      wswgin on 25/08/2020 - 13:27

      thanks, that's a bummer….the performance gain may not be that much

      • 

        superfriends on 25/08/2020 - 13:58

        not if you own wifi 6 devices and have pretty good NBN connection

      • 

        DigitalAnalog on 25/08/2020 - 17:16

        We have an RT-AX88U and two HP laptops, one with WiFi 5 and the other with WiFi 6. The WiFi 6 one definitely has better wireless performance, especially in range but also in link rates.

  Bought one last week and connected to the Aussie Broadband 1000/50 connection, using WiFi 6 (AX) with my Note 20, I could get 600-800mbps in the 2nd storey of the house. Definitely a good router if you have WiFi 6 devices.
