Can you review AX92U

Sorry, no plans of doing the ASUS RT-AX92U review at the moment.

Currently I'm involved in next ASUS flagship router project and other ASUS newer networking peripherals testing.

My best guess, you will get to see the ASUS RT-AX89X during March 2020 show or slightly earlier. There isn't any ASUS RT-AX89X for sale @ SITEX (I'm 100% sure, as I'm not sure who dump you the smoke grenade). :s22:

So only the ASUS ZenWiFi CT8 will be selling @ SITEX @ introductory price of S499, exclusive to Challenger.

As for the ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 will be even later than March 2020 for retail from what i was told by ASUS TW HQ networking, of cos subject to change if any. I wil definitely update in here accordingly.
Hmm, the Asus rep at the Sitex thread told me the ZenWiFi ax will be out in Dec/jan?

Looks like the launch for zenwifi ax and ax-89x are delayed. Still worth the wait though!
Any thoughts on my idea of pairing them together for my house using the mesh system and predominantly 5Ghz bands?
Thank you for the updates!

SFP+ port

I saw that there is an sfp+ port.

Does it mean that a direct connection to the ONT is possible through a transceiver?

I just want to take full advantage of the 2 gbps incoming internet line.

1+1Gbps ain't gonna work. AFAIK, the ONT does not support 802.3ad LACP
