~$500 at other major retailers, cheapest I can see.
It's a powerful Tri dual band router or you can use it as Dual-band mesh router (Need Alien or HD Mesh Point to extend the coverage)

Features:
- WiFi 6 performance
- 2.4 GHz 4x4 WiFi 6 radio (Max speed 1148 Mbps)
- 5 GHz 8x8 WiFi 6 radio (Max speed 4804 Mbps)
- 5 GHz 4x4 WiFi 5 radio (Max speed 1733 Mbps)
- 160 MHz bandwidth and DFS channel support
- 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet switch
- Touchscreen display
- Includes AmpliFi Teleport configuration-free VPN solution

Some cons:
- No multi-gig Ethernet support
- No WiFi 6E support

Note: if you need advanced settings go with the Ubiquiti UniFi series.

  Those cons make it a bit of a dud

  Please correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the AU release of this dual band only?

  the only positive is the lcd screen, everything else is generic

    We have one of these and I would agree. It actually handles the load better than my old ASUS RT-AC68U (I had three of these on mesh), however it is incredibly limited in its features in comparison. I am going to get myself the new ASUS router for the added functionality, the upgraded specs would mean this should handle more load too.

      I’m looking for an ASUS too. Do you have model recommendations? Thanks in advance.

        FTTC, FTTP, HFC - Asus RT-AX86U, Asus RT-AX86U Pro, Asus ROG Rapture GT-AX6000, Asus RT-AX58U. Merlin firmware model list.
        FTTN, FTTB - Asus DSL-AX82U.

        These are all dual band. Tri-band variants cost more.

        Asus RT-AX86U is certainly my choice.

      The latest Asus routers have tri-core or quad-core processors with 256MB, 512MB and 1GB of RAM.

  Ubiquiti stuff is so insanely overrated.

    Compared to what exactly?

    For the price I think the brand is very good.

      The best comparison for Ubiquiti gear would be TP Link’s Omada range..

      And in comparison to that ekul777 is correct - Ubiquiti is wayyyy overpriced.

        You are going to need to provide more evidence then that

        • TP Link has historically been a budget brand and while they have somewhat pivoted and now have enterprise gear, there isn't any evidence to show they are on the same level.

        • Provide a link to a similar TP-Link product like the deal posted from an Australian shop.

        My knowledge is a bit limited with TP-Link's latest stuff but my understanding is they are very cheap and perform well in very specific needs which is great as long as thats all you need.

        A huge part of Ubiquiti's value is the software in terms of reliability and wide range of features.

  I noticed the return policy details:
  The seller won't accept returns for this item.

    Isn't that what most eBay sellers list? It doesn't block returns for faulty products afaik, just change of mind

  So what do you need to make this a mesh? Any ubiquity wireless access point?

    From memory another one of these units.

    2 x Amplifi units. A mesh won't be created with a Unifi AP.
