In a years time the wifi 7 spec will be fully finalised and probably even proper routers released already making 6e obsolete.

That 2 pack price is insane. It looks like they didn't update the price from the 1 pack. You should buy xt12 2 pack and then sell the other for like 170 euro. You'd have an XT12 for under 200 euros then.

B09MG9MDB This is cheaper than even the RT-AX86U non Pro has ever been afaik. Anyone know what plugs come with it?

Where did you get £31 for 900?

Amazon actually has Asus routers on sale today. :P RT-AX86U Pro for £210 or GT-AX6000 for £270

Haha most likely. ;) It's hard to say what device costs are for a multi billion dollar company like Asus. Prices that Chinese manufacturing firms will not give you magically become accessible for them. I think most of the actual price is the cost of transport and distribution.

Technically it's worse because it has 512MB RAM compared to the 1GB RAM of the AX6000 and Pro but that's not worth double the price. It's market segmentation gone wild. I don't think the cost to the manufacturer is $10... probably $15.

Pretty insane deal on ebay right now. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185806206406 TUF-AX6000 for £130 and free postage. You can get 2 and it will still not reach the price of 1 GT-AX6000.

@routeraround B0BHF291D8 is the RT-AX86U Pro The £292.21 is the RT-AX86U but it's preowned. The price is just from when someone bought it at Amazon when it was £300+ and their system does not update the price to reflect current market. I wasn't a fan of the RT-AX86U Pro though. It had worse...

I also wouldn't be going out and buying anything else right now. The smart hub 3 is being released in hopefully a month or so. I'd wait to get more info on that since it will be free on a recontract.

Updates to 388.2 soon?

I instantly put Merlin on my Pro but I might go back to stock for now. Some notes: My old AX82U had about 8-10 foot more range. Usually I can just about touch the gate at the end of driveway before my phone gets knocked off the Wifi but can't with the Pro. Now granted this is with the basic...

Oh I didn't see that. Makes sense.

Mainly a question for @RMerlin e.g. Quad9 as an example. The preset server does not fill in 853 for the port number. I will admit I got my AX86U Pro and flashed Merlin before even seeing if this was an option on stock so apologies. If it is maybe a nice little feature to add into Merlin...

By that logic you may aswell get the XT12. It's only £60 more than the GT-AX6000 and superior in every possble way. However the GT-AXE11000 Pro Plus Mega Super Duper Ultra is only ~£60 more than the XT12 and superior so get that. Hopefully you get the idea. There comes a point where you just...
