Looks like an annual trend,
Reportedly this is the lowest price since its beginning @ 2018. Best is its local Aussie warranty.
Pretty good router and very good value for money at this price!

Off topic a bit don't you think?!
We are talking about ASUS routers right? :-)
Isn't the AX worth the extra $$ over AC?
Not worth nearly twice the price imho
There is a deal for a TUF-AX5400, which is quite similar to the RT-AX82U, for $171
you can get wifi6 for the same if not even less ?
You can get a slower crappy AX router for less $$ yes.
Sure if you want borked uk wifi and no warranty
@Zanadar: there is no difference to wifi - 95% of ppl dont need c band, and warranty shouldn't be an issue
id chance this when its $399 AUS price vs $177 UK
most reviews this router get 9/10 and at $177 its a steal
Not the best price but RT-AX86U also available at $415.20:
https://www.amazon.com.au/ASUS-Wi-Fi-Gaming-Router-RT-AX86U/…might as well go RT-AX88U for $430:
https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B07J3JQWNS/From reviews, the range on AX88U is excellent.
Reportedly this is the lowest price since its beginning @ 2018
got it for $199 in may this year https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/623074
Come at me AX!
This or the TPlink ax73 for $212?
Wow where is is 212. It’s currently 234 on Amazon which is also v good
We only have a single story place, about 30sq and currently using an Asus RT-N66U so it's fairly old. It does a good job but the far corners or the house, it just reaches.
Would we be better served upgrading to something like this or a mesh system? We don't really do any online game but do watch Netflix plus have a ton of smart devices connected including a doorbell (that is just in range of the current router but barely). The house is completely networked though so if I went mesh, I can connect every point to an ethernet port.
I do like to tinker with mac address accept/declines and QOS and not sure if mesh offers all that though.
Thanks
ASUS RT-AX82U ($320) or RT-AX88U ($430) ?
Have NBN100 FTTC, don't think RT-AX88U will make much difference over RT-AX82U?
