So instead of asking why people go through the hassle of importing stuff and looking for solutions they instead decided to raise the tax. Nice. I like it.

I just noticed something odd, 2k-50k is 41.492%. And 50k+ is also 41.492%? Same %?
 
It's mfg refurbished. The router has got bad reviews for this product on many websites. While some have also gave positive reviews.
Yes, they are refurbs thats why they are priced low. Every site has positive and negative reviews. One has to consider all pro's and cons before buying.
