Local price is the same dollar for dollar?
I guess this model appeals to those who want the Synology UI.
Curious to see some real world reviews on the performance and features.

i thought asus also has an AICloud.

...which had security issues if I understood it correctly. Though later FWs fixed it, there is still bound to be more

Saw on their TW fb page also hard to buy from shops. Seems like stocks limited.
Anyway, it's about NT$4600, so around S$200 in their home market.
Can see some internal pics here:

It uses bcm58622, not bcm4708/9 like Asus/Netgear/D-Link.

Do you guys prefer to have add-on plug-in on the router?

Initial thoughts

Pros
SDCard slot


Cons
2 year warranty vs 3 years (other brands)
256MB RAM
1 x USB 3.0
