That's horrendous. I can't see them selling a lot of units at that price
Say what…? Was holding out for the Wifi 6 version but at that price they can get stuffed…
Hopefully this drops back to $300 ;)
I bought this yesterday and set it up last night. Setup was easy enough. Yet to really test well to see if there's much improvement over the Asus RT-AC68U it replaces. I bloody well hope so for the price! Officeworks looked long and hard before they would price match for me. Just happened my local in Woolloongabba had a couple in stock. Not many stores have it.
So is it a good upgrade? I am currently using RT-AC68U and a netgear range extender. I am thinking upgrade to a mesh system with good range coverage as the extender has very weak signal in the bedroom :(
Also can you buy extra satelite to extend range?
Don't know yet. Haven't had time to test.
Oh and yes, you can buy extra satellites.
Asus also has AiMesh capabilities, instead of getting rid of your RT-AC68U, you could just get another Asus router and set up a mesh system that would work just like the Orbi… Might be a cheaper option if your AC68U is still going strong.
Thanks for the info. Whats the cheapest aimesh system unit that I can get?
What was the best price previously? I've had my eye on this but I haven't seen it below $400 for a while (most of the eBay "sales" bring it down to about $405), and CamelCamelCamel says the lowest on Amazon AU has been $379.11, so this looks like a pretty damn good price to me!
Wireless1 had a father's Day sale that brought it down to $299 as per a previous post. At a guess, that's as low as it's been. The price match brought it down to $334 for me. I was ok with that.
I just read their new WiFi 6 version is gonna be USD$700! (AU$1,000> Makes this look even better value
