ASUS and Gundam have collaborated on a series of Gundam-themed gear and the first devices to debut are the ASUS x Gundam RT-AX82U and RT-AX86U routers.
Technically and functionally, these two routers are similar to the routers on which they are based.
The ASUS x Gundam RT-AX82U is a dual-band AX5400-class Wi-Fi 6 router that delivers speeds of up to 574Mbps on its 2.4GHz network and 4,804Mbps on its 5GHz network.
On the other hand, the ASUS x Gundam RT-AX86U is a dual-band AX5700-class Wi-Fi 6 router that delivers speeds of up to 861Mbps on its 2.4GHz network and 4,804Mbps on its 5GHz network.
The two routers come with gaming features such as a dedicated gaming port, one-touch QoS priority for gaming devices, and support for DFS (dynamic frequency selection).

The ASUS x Gundam RT-AX82U and RT-AX86U are available now in limited quantities. The former is priced at S$389 and the latter is S$469.
ASUS is also running a promotion. Customers who purchase the router can leave a review here and redeem a free Gundam model kit while stocks last.
Finally, other ASUS x Gundam products including motherboards, headphones, monitors, keyboards and mice will be launched in February.
