    Are Chinese ASUS Routers have the same Hardware and Features as WW models?

    Hello, I wonder if Routers sold in China like on Aliexpress for example RT-AC86U, are the same ones sold in the EU/USA? And if Merlin works on US model it will run on China model? Also, any idea why routers sold in original boxes are more expensive then re-packed into brown box? Thanks
