Asus started taking
pre-orders for a new Wi-Fi 6 router variant. The Mobile Suit Gundam Special
Edition router is being sold for the RT-AX82U and RT-AX86U models and are
priced at 1,199 Yuan (roughly 170 US Dollars) and 1,699 Yuan (roughly 242 US
Dollars) respectively.
Looking at the new limited edition Wi-Fi 6
routers, we can see that RT-AX82U model perfectly resembles the main Gundam
unit from the popular and iconic Mobile Suit Gundam series with its white, red,
and blue color schemes. For those unaware, the anime is set in the distant
future and feature giant fighting mechs (manned robots).
Similarly, the RT-AX86U fits the main
antagonist’s color scheme and also supports Wi-Fi 6. Under the hood, the
RT-AX82U Wi-Fi router sports high performance multi core processors and offers
a peak bandwidth of 5,700Mbps. It is equipped with a 2.5G port and supports the
latest Wi-Fi 6 standards. It also features AURA RGB gaming lighting effects as
well. Unfortunately, these routers are only available in a limited quantity of
500 units and will go on sale from 3rd August 2020.
