Is RT-AC68P available in EU at all?

[pirx73]

I checked stores and as far i can see only RT-AC68U is here. P model i could only find on ebay.co.uk and even that was an import from US.
I understand and main benefit from P model's increased performance lies in USB 3, thus NAS performance, right?.
If i do not care for that i can go with U model i suppose, because i have no way to verify is internet store selling U or P actually. They all list it as 68U.
This brings another question - is RT-AC68U an useful upgrade over my current RT-N66U?

I am thinking about replacing router because my house got an internet upgrade from ~20Mbit 4G to 100Mbit optics and i am not sure, can RT-N66U handle the load. Plus all 5GHz-capable devices at my home can do 802.11ac.

I doubt other variants of the RT-AC68U are sold outside the US and Canadian market.
Here in the Netherlands it seems only the RT-AC68U hardware version A2 (even manufactured in 2016) is sold.
If all your 5 GHz devices do support it the upgrade to an AC router is very worth.
The RT-AC68 family seems a reliable choice, don't focuss on MU-MIMO, look here:

Thanks!
I will just go for the "regular" AC68U then.
