If you're living in a condo unit <1.2k sq ft, the AX56U will be fine.

If 2 storey house, AX3000 will be the minimum you will need for decent internet connection. To get good connection, +1 mesh node will required.

I'm in a semi-d (3 storey), main router AX86U + AX3000 and AX55 acting as mesh nodes, 1 router per floor, weakest 5 GHz signal will be around -60 db

Chances are you may be a getting only a weak signal in the toilet with 1 x 56U even on 2.4 GHz

Adding 1 cheap router as mesh node will make a big difference

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

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

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 ......

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

This is SERIOUSLY a champion price point to buy the TUF

Very capable router considering what you paid for it

Yes la, just buy, by next week your wi-fi will be a new level of experience ....
