This is a brand new video, it looks like Asus has re-badged this 2 year old router as an ROG router now.

Does the back panel match your AC5300?
It might be a bit of an upgrade, but I guess they couldn't add any more "Tarantula" legs, so they've stopped with this layout for now.
There's something to say about a device that is popular enough to keep building, and there's been almost 2 years to optimize the firmware.
I wonder if they use the same firmware? You could just use the new stuff to upgrade your AC5300 and gain some new features -

I have the new router. The hardware is different, different chip, CPU 4core CPU instead or 2core like the original 5300, 8 ports instead of 4. Dedicated game ports 1&2 suppose to decrease ms latency when plugged into those ports. Aggregated ports for NAS.

@Phoenix are you going to get one? Maybe do a review on the differences in performance between them? -
