there are 2 different things in regards to the speeds. You have WAN and wifi. A lot of routers will support those speeds on WAN using hardware NAT if they have it, but wifi is another question as what speeds the router reports for wifi is totally far from the speeds you'll get.
For example the AC3200 will not give you 3.2Gb/s of wifi performance, but at best will give you 700Mb/s+ of practical AC wifi speeds if your device has 3 channel wifi too, but most devices only have 1 or 2 channel AC wifi so at best will get 500Mb/s practically on wifi AC.

The main question however is, which routers will support those speeds when you need to do QoS, running a multi user environment which would be typical (families, people sharing house, etc).

So your use case is very very important in picking the right router. I use software NAT and QoS performance when picking a router (no ubiquiti edgerouters for me tongue.gif ) because the best ubiquiti has to offer costs $1000 for around 1.6Gb/s of QoS performance while the same price of mikrotik will give you 10Gb/s symmetrical of QoS performance. Moving down the ASUS line, if you need QoS, the AC86U will do 300Mb/s of QoS performance, so ASUS you dont have any gamer router that can actually offer full 1Gb/s performance for gamer use (QoS, VPN, etc) tongue.gif that costs less than my router .

what the hell kind of pricing are you guys paying? Lazada also sells stuff far more expensive than normal, the new nvidia GPUs cost 30-50% more on lazada than RRP and theres no reason we must charge more than RRP, i mean we are a developing nation with lower cost of living and lower taxes right? Why are we paying more than what US is paying?

The AC5300 is old, not even the awesome GT-AC5300 that asus has which is newer and better. They even have a business router pretty much like it too. For below rm 1000 for a AC5300 is less than ok but the AC86U should be much cheaper.
