EU stock.

Similar price to last time but no free PS5 game.

Apparently the transmitters are a bit weaker on the European models.

    Isn't the WiFi power gimped on these European market?

    • Aleigh123 on 09/10/2025 - 14:33

      Oh, you appear to be correct.

    • Mortin on 09/10/2025 - 14:44

      Yeah, no good

      get it from EB games its 248 and Australian warranty

      • hollykryten on 10/10/2025 - 19:29

        And it's also the Australian model so no gimped WiFi power.

    • conza on 09/10/2025 - 21:53

      Ok but who has done the side by side speed tests to see if this actually matters? Is it 1% is it 10%, is it under full load, does it matter what's in the way? What does the lower power actually mean in the real world?

      • hollykryten on 10/10/2025 - 19:54

        I thought that it means that the WiFi signal couldn't transmit as far. Perhaps it can't transmit through as many walls meaning you might not pick up a signal at the other side of the house.

    Friends don’t let friends buy European spec wireless routers.

  • SetTheFaqUp on 09/10/2025 - 14:46

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/920502 was close to $200 for AU version

    • summit on 09/10/2025 - 18:07

      I bought it (AU version) during that deal. There were a few warnings in the comments that the router is rubbish but for the price i thought id take the risk. But they were right it is rubbish. I returned it.

      It had great range and gave me far better speeds on speedtest than my old trusty Netgear R7000. But loading a page took forever, some would just never load. Dont buy this one if anyone is reading this, or at the very least dont update the firmware whatever you do.

      I went back the R7000 but trying to work out what to get next

      • rockstar1237 on 09/10/2025 - 20:34

        I had the EXACT same experience with this (mine was the EU version tho) with stuff not loading, returned and went back to the AX86U and no problem, - gonna try the BE88 somone posted earlier for prime days and see how it goes

          No issue on my end. Rocking solid. I have both the AX6000 and GTAX6000 at two separate locations.

          Once a firmware update enabled (was off) wireless AiMesh on a backhaul setup and that caused issue with connection issues. Resolved after switching it off.

          I also find the router a bit hot (an enclosed space), so a laptop cooling fan under the router.

      • hollykryten on 10/10/2025 - 19:31

        Did you at least make sure that the router had the latest firmware?. That's the first thing you should do after getting a new router.

        • SetTheFaqUp on 11/10/2025 - 10:58

          Yea. Seems. Many ignored the basics of keeping gears up to date. But then, that's why people pay a premium for ease of usage (arguable) like Apple products.

      can someone explain why eu routers bad?

      • appxl on 09/10/2025 - 15:58

        Limited output power due to EU regulations.

        WiFi signal is gimped compared to AU model.

            @SkyeMG: Same for Japanese & UK routers. US routers are ok for use in AU.

            • SkyeMG on 09/10/2025 - 16:59

              @xuqi: Can't you just changed some setting in the router to put it to au output?

              Or does that not apply here.

              Cause ik some older routers u can set region etc.

              • xuqi on 09/10/2025 - 17:43

                @SkyeMG: Changing the web interface region doesn't control the router transmit output power limits, those are baked in to the firmware.

                I won't say it's impossible as there are ways to do it by modifying the firmware, but it's not something 99.99% of users would know how to do.

                Countries set limits based on a number factors (available frequencies, population density, etc.).

                Australian info:
                https://wifiwizardofoz.com/wp-content/uploads/australian_802…

                Google search will provide info on limits set by different countries.

              • netsurfer on 09/10/2025 - 22:16

                @SkyeMG: Technically you can, but you need to know linux and has a good understanding of WiFi. Also, you need to do the right thing and not boost it too much (over the AU regulation) and don't open up channels not allowed for AU.

                The main problem is most people don't want to do it nor care to figure it out. If the all time low price for AU version is only $4 more, then people feel this is not worth the trouble.

                It's all relative. If you have a router that actually shows you all the WiFi channels in detail and indicate a lot of channels are not available to AU for 5GHz, then you will realise AU region isn't that great for WiFi 6 (in terms of flexibility) and the situation gets worse for the WiFi 6E/7 part.

                Also, given that this router can't use merlin firmware, it really needs to be at a bargain price to be worthwhile. There is a lot of competition from low end WiFi 7 routers.

  • grapejuice on 09/10/2025 - 14:52

    Is there concern about this model being near end-of-life?

    Would avoid ASUS routers if I was buying one. After their colossal security cock up, I wouldn't trust them.

    • netsurfer on 09/10/2025 - 21:49

      The group which found the issue obviously gave Asus heads up before releasing the info (probably why Asus was able to patch it up quite quickly). The detail of the key exploit wasn't provided to the public.

      If your home NBN is on CGNAT, can you actually achieve the exploit? Anyway, that's why it is better to get an Asus router which can run merlin firmware. GL.iNet routers might be running OpenWRT, but not the latest and a lot of packages within the firmware are old. Merlin often just put in the latest packages.

      Also, put in a strong router password, rather than waiting for the router maker to enforce a strong password must be used. Other brands have routers which have issues and require you to update to the latest firmware to address them. You can't assume a certain brand of network gears will never have a security issue. A router runs a lot of things and linux isn't free of security issue.

      • netsurfer on 10/10/2025 - 00:14

        For people who are concerned or unclear about the issue:

        • If you have RT-AX55 or AC3100/AC3200 routers, you need to update to the latest firmware. If you don't know how to check whether your router is compromised, you need to do a factory reset after applying the firmware update. Also, use a strong router password.
        • You should disable "Web Access from WAN". Even if the router is unaffected by that issue, you are opening up your router to brute force password attack if enabled. If you really must enable it, enable access restriction so only up to 4 trusted devices can use it. A strong router password must be used.
        • Disable remote ssh, AiCloud

        If you really want to go the extra mile:

        • Setup a guest WiFi network and put it in its isolated VLAN and make sure anyone on the guest network cannot connect to the router's Web UI.
        • If you are tech savvy, setup mobile notification or email notification every time someone ssh into the router (if you must enable ssh for a long period of time).

        If your NBN provider enforces CGNAT, you generally can't do remote Web access to the router from WAN nor remote ssh from WAN. If you are able to figure out how to overcome that CGNAT issue, then surely you are smart enough to secure the access properly (or at least only enable them when you need to).

    Bought this router a year or so ago, it has been great, my only issue is finding a 5.5x2.5m 19V 65W adapter, but its a switching psu so, just need a universal/euro to AU adapter, which is what I'm using now.

    I never need to reset it, ever, it runs about 20 devices on both bands, Mimo 4x4 (essential), on both bands, so it's a great buy, especially at this price.

    For those that are paying $550 for the AU model… Look, I haven't seen the speed tests side by side, but to me, it's working fine, I am really not certain what the real world impact is of having less power, sure, I want fully power, but I also want $300-350 so, idk. Up to you what's worth while.
