ASUS TUF Gaming AX5400 Gaming Router
That's right, not an ROG but a TUF series themed gaming router. Meet the WIFI6 compatible TUF Gaming AX5400 equipped with six large antennas.
This is a Wi-Fi 6 gaming router that supports high-speed communication of 2.4GHz band up to 574Mbps and 5GHz band up to 4,804Mbps. By adopting 6 large external antennas and the new technology OFDMA, the radio wave range is extended by about 80% compared to the Wi-Fi 5 router. In addition, the cooling performance has been improved by optimizing the ventilation port position and designing a double heat sink. Furthermore, by adopting a fixed antenna and a metal port protector, durability is also enhanced.
The main specifications are a triple core processor with 1.5GHz, memory with 256MB flash memory and 512MB RAM, and interfaces are Gigabit WANx1, Gigabit LANx4, USB3.2 Gen.1 x 1. Both WAN and LAN support the link aggregation function, and the wired communication speed can be increased to 2 Gbps.
The compatible wireless LAN standard is IEEE 802.11a / b / g / n / ac / ax, and the main body weight is 600g. It also supports AiMesh as a mesh function. At this time, there are no sales announcements for this product in the domestic market.

Given the price of some of these "Gaming" routers, I suggest going to purchase yourself an actual firewall (pfSense, Untangle etc) and getting some less expensive yet well performing APs.
I understand how buying an all in one device is advantageous for many given the simplicity and if the price is right but for several hundred dollars all you are doing is purchasing marketing.
They slap the word "Gaming" on it, make it look ridiculous, and all you have done is normally gotten decent WIFI, a crappy firewall and an OK switch. The most important part of those 3 is always the weakest in terms of performance and capability.
Again, the all in one makes sense but (to me) not at the crazy price points some of these things cost.
