No wonder tq.
I saw they got auto switch but no either 1. For now internet much more stable before using that black cylinder.

Now i even can set dns, and lesser ads compare with the black cylinder.

My black cylinder went back into it's box the first day.

Anyhow the AX56U 2.4GHz is weaker than my old N18U. (it was a flagship router after all)

Lmao. My black cylinder used almost 3 years. Just changed.

Don't ignore TP-Link.

They got some very good AX routers too and waay cheaper than ASUS.

I've used TP-Link routers for years before (C5400X router was my main router before I upgrade to AX wifi 6, changed to ASUS to give it a try)

If you want TP-Link AX3000, you can get it at around RM300 vs ASUS AX3000 which is around RM700 (that is over twice the price compared to TP-Link's offering)

Damm....
Almost want to grab that ax3000 while i was in lowyat just now.
Not sure my current ac68u start to have problem or the tplink maxshit give me problem.
And....no shit ac68u still expensive as fucukyeemai.

If your issue is coverage, then get a proper Mesh WIFI system.

but for Wifi 6 Mesh WIFI system, its not going to be cheap...

eg: https://shopee.com.my/TP-Link-Deco-X20-AX18...4247.7430079046

My main router for around 6 years was the AC68U

It's still usable, but I just swapped it (as a mesh node) with the crapp AX55 I bought on 12.12

In truth, the AC68U is still a very capable router, and the overall performance seems better than AX55

If not mistaken, AC68U is still selling for around 450-500

Used 2 TP-Links and ....
- They will come with a model name and change the hardware in it over time without telling. Only version is mentioned in the sticker.
- Firmware update is pretty non-existence.

Went Asus and no looking back.

How much the ax3000 you saw at lowyat?

There is 2 version i saw in viewnet.
1 is about rm700 and another 1 about rm800.
I have no idea why the one more expensive about rm100 than the another. The info written at the both box look same to me.

Wow viewnet so exp ya

But all it more exp

I called them asked

They said got two variants

One is gaming one is not

Gaming got tuf infront
Basic got rt infront

Basic cheaper than gaming somehow
The prices quoted for me from all it are 756 for basic 8xx for gaming

I saw the price tag for 2 ac68u about rm985.
Before i bought asus, my house have alot of wifi dead spot as the router (tplink and dlink) is place on the 1st floor. Using wifi extender also cant solve it.
Lastly bought the asus ac68u and all this deadspot dissappear.
I also impressed as the wifi signal can even reach outside my house gate.

Topup a bit, get TUF-AX3000.

On specs, it’s a clone brother to AX3000 (which is modelled as AX58u).

On the internal, it’s a clone to the hai keras AX82u.

So if you manage to softmod it (TUF-AX3000) one day, you can technically unlock it to AX82u for free.

Ooo....
Thanks for this info.
Will make sure i buy the gaming version

If you buy from All IT (esp the KLCC outlet), the AX3000 will be expensive

Order from Viewnet or Oookas during sales, there will be some discounting

The TUF gaming version has the same specs as the basic + a dedicated gaming port + some gaming customizations in the BIOS

I def bought my AX3000 for <700 around 5 months ago

If you consider TP-link, then might as well consider Hualaowei AX3 Pro, similar performance like Tp-link but much better supports on firmware/UI/app and also easy to do mesh (wired or wireless).

At first I also thought Asus so expensive ridiculous bangsawan pricing. But after I got myself TUF-AX3000 (for cheap during 11.11, RM46X), it does have its appeal as bangsawan brand for router, so much more playability and customisable/finetuning settings.

This is new to me ....

I thought the AX82U would be closer to AX86U, since both have 4x4 5GHz MIMO capability, as compared to the TUF AX3000 which only has 2x2 MIMO

Trust me, there is a HUGE HUGE difference between the performance of AX3000 vs the Asus AX8-series ......

Nope, 82u is just the AX3000 with extra RGB and 4R4T unlocked by default. The real deal is 86u and above.

https://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/internet...8u-6394549.html

The TUF-AX3000 in Tongsan has an “AssasinCreed” mode, where it got unlocked to the same 4R4T like 82u does, reaching the theoretical speed of 5400 for free.

Additionally, better wait for sale or buy from Taobao, their pricing is much much better than our RM700ish pricetag.

Thanks for the info mate

I have an AX86U, it's like night vs day compared to the AX3000 (now used as a mesh node)

Damm, I should have bought the TUF version instead then ....

Although I'm not sure that 160 MHz 4x4 will even be usable if your laptop is >2m away from the router

In my case, I have just disabled the 160 MHz feature altogether
