Looks like an annual trend,
Reportedly this is the lowest price since its beginning @ 2018. Best is its local Aussie warranty.
Pretty good router and very good value for money at this price!

  ASUS RT-AX82U ($320) or RT-AX88U ($430) ?
  Have NBN100 FTTC, don't think RT-AX88U will make much difference over RT-AX82U?

      We are talking about ASUS routers right? :-)

      Isn't the AX worth the extra $$ over AC?

    There is a deal for a TUF-AX5400, which is quite similar to the RT-AX82U, for $171

          @Zanadar: there is no difference to wifi - 95% of ppl dont need c band, and warranty shouldn't be an issue
          id chance this when its $399 AUS price vs $177 UK
          most reviews this router get 9/10 and at $177 its a steal

    From reviews, the range on AX88U is excellent.

  We only have a single story place, about 30sq and currently using an Asus RT-N66U so it's fairly old. It does a good job but the far corners or the house, it just reaches.

  Would we be better served upgrading to something like this or a mesh system? We don't really do any online game but do watch Netflix plus have a ton of smart devices connected including a doorbell (that is just in range of the current router but barely). The house is completely networked though so if I went mesh, I can connect every point to an ethernet port.

  I do like to tinker with mac address accept/declines and QOS and not sure if mesh offers all that though.

  Thanks
