Not ATL earlier this month. Still a great deal. Wifi 6E means a 6 Ghz channel meaning less competing for channels with neighbours
Note: UK stock.
CamelCamelCamel.
UK router, no thanks. Will wait until back in stock at Amazon AU.
But a tp link and flash openwrt
Any suggestion for a 2 storey about 400 sqm house, high ceiling. We have four Eero 5s and they suck. I want to upgrade to a low latency fast speed gaming router. How many of these I'd be needing? (I'll wait for AU version). Also any alternate recommendations would be appreciated?
You can get these Asus ZenWifi routers

They're on special now.
The main thing to do, is to connect each router, with wired Ethernet, to create the mesh.
Don't create the mesh network over wireless, as that won't be as fast or stable.
Thanks mate. Sorry, I might not fully understand networking router stuff but this one does not mention any gaming features like low latency etc.
I just thought, I'd give you the 'cheap' (and good enough) option.
@whyisave: Totally appreciate that. Upto $1500 to cover the whole house is fine for me as I want to reduce the daily pain we go through
@thegreatermamba: Cheaper to just run a cable from router to your PC/consoles and you won't have any latency issues..
Any of the Asus ROG [Republic Of Gamer] equipment is excellent, but also pricey.
I mean, when it works so well and you have no issues, you won't remember the price.
I have a Asus ROG router myself (it's the GT-AX11000) and it's been amazing:
rock solid, fast, feature-rich.
The model you have shown there above, will work very well, and if you are comfortable with the price, then go for it.
You put each one, on each floor of the house, and you should connect each unit with a wired/Ethernet cable, to get the best use.
I'm sure you can use both units "wireless-ly", but connecting each with a wire, will ensure excellent network speeds.
Here's a review of the ASUS ROG GT6 AX-10000

@whyisave: Thanks much mate. I just checked your reply. Would it be okay if I DM you to ask a few more questions (only if you are fine with it)?
UK, EU & JP routers have their outputs limited (far higher population density) affecting their performance.
This isn’t something the user can modify. US and AU models are ok.

Haven't found a page that fully covers GT-AXE16000 because it supports quad bands, but there are pages which talk about how to adjust the transmit power and enable all regions on the UI for other Asus routers. One of the examples:

https://github.com/francoism90/asus-router/blob/main/jffs/sc…
Asus does now bake the region detail into routers, but you can still workaround it with user scripts. If you do go down that path, do remember to adhere to Australian standards on the 6GHz band.
If you are in the market for GT-AXE16000, it is probably better to buy the AU version instead of hacking it via jffs scripts.
