ASUS recently announced the release of a collaborative model with "Mobile Suit Gundam" in Japan.
The details of the product were announced at the "ROG:LIVE" broadcast on January 20, 2021, and some of you may have immediately decided to purchase it due to its particular design.
I had no idea that Mr. Toru Furuya was a home-builder of PCs. He has been making his own PCs for 20 years.
However, we were getting anxious about the release date of the two wireless router models from the collaboration, as soon as it was decided.

Shazak Router and Gundam Router
The two products that will be released this time are the Shia Zaku collaboration model " RT-AX86U ZAKU II EDITION " and the Gundam collaboration model " RT-AX82U GUNDAM EDITION ".
Both routers are compatible with the ASUS Router app's "Mobile Game Mode," which eliminates lag and low latency for a comfortable online environment.
Personally, since this is a Gundam collaboration, I would say " Mobile Game Mode" instead of "Mobile Game Mode"!
The Gundam collaboration model "RT-AX82U GUNDAM EDITION" has an image of a White Base rather than a Gundam, which gives it a sense of security.
The "RT-AX86U ZAKU II EDITION" is more like a Johnny Ryden than a Shaarzak, I think! Or Sotheby's!
There are not many Gundam lovers in the Saiga NAK editorial team, so no one shares my opinion! Sad!
Both the RT-AX86U ZAKU II EDITION and RT-AX82U GUNDAM EDITION are based on the popular gaming router, so their performance is second to none!
As we will still be spending a lot of time at home, why don't you take this opportunity to install one of these products and get a comfortable network environment?
