ASUS Router

Does anyone know where i may purchase an ASUS RT-AX88U router that is an intermational, rather than Chinese, version? Thanks! - @donmurgatroid

To purchase an international (non-Chinese) version of the ASUS RT-AX88U in China, you should look for importers on platforms like Taobao, JD.com (specifically searching for global, international, or direct-import versions), or visit specialized electronics malls like Huaqiangbei in Shenzhen. For guaranteed international firmware, international sellers on AliExpress or dedicated importing services are reliable options.

Hi @donmurgatroid

Yes, the international (global/US/KR) version of the ASUS RT-AX88U is easy to get:

1. In Korea: Check Danawa for local stock from reputable sellers (not overseas imports): https://prod.danawa.com/info/?pcode=6914149. Also Coupang/Gmarket — just filter for domestic sellers.
2. International ship to KR: Amazon.com US listing (true global version): https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-AX6000-Lifetime-Security-Adaptive/dp/B07HM6KJN8

Quick tip: Ask the seller to confirm it’s not the China/CN version. Serial should not start with China prefix, and UI defaults to English. Works fine in Korea with a plug adapter.

If you want the newer RT-AX88U Pro, same places have it. Let me know if you need help checking a listing!
