Asus RT-AX58U Dual Band AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Router $149 (Was $299) + Delivery ($0 C&C/In-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi / Delivered @ Officeworks
Was in search of a cheap Wifi6 AiMesh node to add to my system and found this deal cheaper than an Asus RP-AX range extender. Would liikely work great if you have 100Mbps internet

Get Your Home Ready for Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)
The growing number of connected personal and IoT devices has led to an overall increase in network density that is pushing the limits of the current Wi-Fi standard. The latest 802.11ax standard provides future-proof technologies, higher network efficiency,
faster Wi-Fi speeds, greater coverage and improved battery life for connected devices, providing a significantly better networking experience for users.
*It requires 802.11ax-compatible devices to enjoy the benefits brought by 802.11ax Wi-Fi standard.
Next-Gen Wi-Fi Speed
RT-AX58U is a 2x2 dual-band Wi-Fi router that provides 160MHz bandwidth and 1024-QAM for dramatically faster wireless connections. With a total networking speed of about 3000Mbps — 574Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 2402Mbps on the 5GHz band — RT-AX58U is 2.5X
faster than 802.11ac 2x2 dual-band routers.
Built for Multi-device Households
With a revolutionary combination of OFDMA and MU-MIMO technology, 802.11ax technology provides up to 4X greater network capacity and efficiency in traffic-dense environments. Previous-generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi can only handle one device at a time on each network
channel, which is an inefficient use of available bandwidth. OFDMA support in the 802.11ax Wi-Fi standard divides each channel into small sub-channels, allowing signals from multiple devices* to be bundled together and transmitted simultaneously, reducing
latency for a smoother, more responsive Wi-Fi experience.
The Latest WPA3 Network Security
The next generation of Wi-Fi security, bringing new capabilities to enhance Wi-Fi protections in personal and enterprise networks. Building on the widespread adoption of WPA2 over more than a decade, WPA3 adds new features to simplify Wi-Fi security, enable
more robust authentication, and deliver increased cryptographic strength for highly sensitive data markets.

BTW Forget about calling Officeworks over the phone to do a price beat, even if the site says $299, in their system it's already $149. I've called a store and is not in stock anywhere but you could still go to the store to place an order assuming their system still says $299. I called my local store after calling OW over the phone and the store's price on it was still $299 - for how long not sure.
