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.

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.

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

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.

You see how cheap can Taobao’s 82u go, under RM600 shipped, TUF-AX3000 is another 100+ cheaper (but locally can get sub RM480 during 11.11 sale last month).

Double 11 it goes as low as RM22x before discount.

FFFUUUUU, ayam buy 11.11 RM46X already lowest...

This price you used lapsapdah RM60 voucher?

I think some of their product do have China-specific variants

But generally I read through online all Chinese are happy with the performance after changing their region to AUS.
