  FYI
  Maximum wifi transmission power per country:

  AUS 5G
  Channels: Max txpower (mW)
  36, 40, 44, 48 : 200mW
  52, 56, 60, 64 : 200mW
  149, 153, 157, 161 : 1000 mW

  AUS 2.4G
  Channels: Max txpower (mW)
  1-11: 200mw

  UK 5G
  Channels: Max txpower (mW)
  36-64: 200mW
  100-140: 1000mW
  155, 159, 163, 172 : 4000 mW

  UK 2.4G
  Channels: Max txpower (mW)
  1-13: 100mw

  From the above data for 2.4G uk is half the txpower (ie translate to low range, lower speed with increasing distance), for 5G regular channels between (36-64) are the same 200mW. channels 100+ are all different.
  Unless you can change the region I do not recommend buying it.

    Solid comment! I totally agree. UK routers may seem like a bargain, but they are a different hardware version than Australian ones. I had so many issues with WiFi devices. My conclusion was that it had something to do with channels and Tx power.

  5ghz channels look like uk is better?
  2.4ghz for mainly for Iot devices anyway

  I and many many people have imported UK routers before and used them perfectly here. I read a ton of comments about routers and have never heard this raised as a problem so it seems like a total non issue to me.

  This is an awesome hi-spec router at a great price and I'm probably going to buy one but I will flag that I keep seeing people complain about crippled upload speeds using it.

  So please be aware that if you are unlucky enough to encounter this problem too there's a decent chance you may need to return it.

    I ordered one and it says there's only one left!!

  I urgently need one as I'm moving house next week. I was hunting for an RT-AX88U as well as an RT-AX68U and I cannot find any of these in stock. $800 is a bit steep. Would a free trial of Prime allow to be able to take advantage of this deal? Even then, I doubt it'll arrive next week. finding it funny for chip "shortages" for older models but a near $1k model seems readily available… Ok

    If you're in need of it "urgently", then probably not the time to be picky.
    High speed vs cheap price vs fast delivery -> choose what is important to you.

    FYI
    - This unit has ETA (for me, at least) of 15 - 25 July
    - I got the a RT-AX92U (mesh 2-pack) for $479 and happy with it, maybe explore other options.
    - Prime day has basically finished…

      I'll likely just fork up the full price from JB HiFi. I'll repurpose it when I move out again. I am currently moving into a rental temporarily for a full year, my existing house right now has what's been a great and stable set up of RT-AX88U set up with a pair of RT-AC68U AiMesh. I want to leave this set up as is and uninterrupted as it's perfect for this house. I'll apply some brand loyalty here because the RT-AX88U has been faultless for the last couple of years. If I were to get the same performance for a similar period of time that is literally faultless, then I'll be happy. Thanks.

      would you recommend the ax86s or the AX92u

  I highly recommend this router. Just upgrade the firmware and you are good to go.

    So the UK model can have its firmware changed to match Australian frequencies?

  I ended up buying this unit from Umart, only $50 off but at least I have a high probability I will get the unit in the next week. I needed one urgently for next week and although I was really after an RT-AX88U or an RT-AX86U, I cannot find them in stock. Even my local JB stores don't have the GT-AX6000.
