Anyone know where I could get my hands on one of these routers? Whole country is seemingly out of stock, maybe expecting a delivery sometime in March. I have to believe some units are still sitting somewhere though.

Thanks in advance
 
Got mine from loot last week. There is definitely still places that have it.

It does look like stock is a problem tho

Yep - out of stock in every online shop I know of. I'm assuming they all get their stock from the same supplier. My hope is someone knows of a store I haven't tried yet, or one which may have a unit sitting on a shelf.

It is indeed pricey, but it's a fantastic router.

I want one for Tomato.
 
Bought the Asus DSL-AC68U from Landmark last year,
maybe they have stock of the RT range,

Think the AC87U is out by now.
 
Nope, no stock. No ETA. Also tried the 87U, even though reviews actually say it's a worse performer than the 68U. No stock, no ETA. :/

Hello All

Just as an update on the Asus RTAC68U router , there has been an unforeseen huge backlog at customs in Durban due to many containers arriving at the same time as everyone ordered goods to be beat the Chinese New Year closure , hence the shortage of stock, however you will be please to know that we have 200 units finally arriving on Thursday in our warehouse , and will start despatching to our sub-distributors and resellers from Friday.

Currently we have 161 units on backorder from our sub-distributors and resellers and will have some left to sell so please place your orders with our sales teams in your region or Online to collect or have it delivered from Saturday.

Included in this shipments are also some new models of Asus Routers and as well as some of the current models that are also out of stock.

Apologises for the delay
