Comparatively prices in EU are much cheaper (US$80) and it is only slightly more expensive than the RT-N16 which is still being sold in EU/US but is now EOL here. Since you have the AC68U, you will know that prices here are much higher compared to in EU/US.
I just replaced my 9yo WRT54G with the
RT-N18U and am very happy with it.
For those that don't need the fastest wireless speed, but everything else (fast CPU, lots of RAM, gig WAN/LAN ports), then this is the router to go for a relatively affordable price as well. In my case had noticeable improvement for overall Internet experience (faster browsing, higher download speeds - of course I am comparing with my old router which had 4x slower CPU and 16x less RAM, serving >10 clients... :D)
Yeah, thing is other more casual users wouldn't understand why they need to spend so much for a router Iol. I didn't know they were still selling the 16U in the EU.
Usually in the US and EU ppl really make sure they're router has 5ghz but yeah it's not really important here. It completely slipped my mind that I paid 800 bucks or so when the 68U just launched in Malaysia :sweat:
One thing I really like about the asus compared to the unifi router is just how well it divides the bandwidth for everyone, without even using QOS. More than 10 clients here too :thumbs:
