 - of course it is, but this is white. The white was the same price as the black pre-sale 
 - From the same link, there one with 10 times the speed at AX18000 for $146.88. Must be some new marketing numbering.  - think it's a typo, as if you navigate into the link, all the numbers on the page points to AX1800 
 
 
 - This compared to TP link ax20 ax1800?  - I would go with this, the current sale price for both is negligible. Also this supports OpenWRT  - Can you please provide a link to OpenWRT support? I can't find where this model is listed. Thank you.  - Apologies, it appears I misread the OpenWRT support :( 
 
 
 - TP link is not reliable, usually just lasts 2-3 years and open some backdoors to communist 
 Asus is a Taiwan brand, and generally lasts for 5 years+ - 3 year warranty with tp link 
 - fwiw my last Asus router made it to the warranty expiry plus a few days then karked it. 
 5/7 would buy again b/c that's the very first Asus product to die before being replaced.
 
 
 - UK model was $100 earlier this year - for comparison… 
 - This might be more price efficient then eero or nest mesh? Not knowing much about these things what is recommended?  - Not just from a price POV, but going with two of these is easier to replace/upgrade one than a Nest/Eero Mesh. The AX55 are meshable https://www.asus.com/microsite/AiMesh/en/index.html  - Thank you 
 
 
 - The white one looks awesome.

Am I missing something?
Is this not a better deal?
