My fixed rate tariff with Octopus also will expire soon. Decided to take the plunge and switched to an upstart company, Fuse Energy. Hopefully they don’t go under, before my 13 month fixed rate that I signed up with them on, expires in September 2026.

Mine is exactly the same, I purchased an item that someone purchased from Amazon. For 2 years I will need to return it to the store who will arrange this with Amazon. 3rd year will be a hail Mary and hope……

Finally got a response from Asus. Apparently the seller has taken responsibility for warranty on this and I need to approach the seller if I have any warranty issues. This is why the warranty is shown as expired one day before the manufactured date. Feels like I have been fobbed off, but hey as hardware goes Asus routers have been good for me. Lets hope I do not have any issues hardware wise.
