About this deal

For example, if you use a backup file of a Dual-band router with two separate SSIDs, the setting will be applied to only two of the GT-AXE16000's bands, and the other two will take its default settings. To say that we are disappointed with the gaming performance of the Asus GT-AXE16000 would be an understatement as a flagship ROG router.

Nor must you pay for the built-in security, which comes via Asus’ Trend Micro-powered AiProtection feature. I could see the 6E bringing an edge though as I noticed in my area sporadic engagements with my current 6 based router (Asus Zen XT8) from which I can get a solid 1200Mbps up/down but some days it goes up to 1920Mbps up and down (on a desktop-based Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX200 chipset) , but it’s very random. And, ASUS will allow you to use one of them as the WAN port if you happen to have a 10G Internet connection in some countries like Japan or South Korea. I have read the article you mentioned, and also your ‘Best Asus AiMesh Router Combos: The Sub-Gigabit Real-World Experience’ article.his is slowly improving, though, with USB adapters arriving on the market that support the standard.

In all fairness, aside from our quite aggressive "Torture test" consisting of ten 8K videos and a simultaneous game, the router is able to play 1080p video streams smoothly without any issues when not overloaded. I was going to think is would be and easy choice of Asus GT-AXE16000 and whatever the most compatible and sat would be for that (to maximized the AI MESH), but then I think I read somewhere you saying that if the back-end is entirely wired, then using tri-band is a bad idea. While it's best to set up your router from scratch, this feature can be a big time-saving method when you upgrade from a router with lots of IP reservations or perforating entries.Is the 10GB port smart enough to detect this or is there a setting in the firmware to configure them as WAN or LAN ? If you have wired backhauling, GT-AXE16000 + ZenWiFi Pro ET12 is an excellent combo, you’ll get yourself real mesh with Multi-Gig wired backhaul, as mentioned here. It also provides excellent Parental Controls which assign comprehensive, timed access settings for different users and/or devices. GHz band with a max speed of 1,148 Mbps, a pair of 5 GHz bands that top out at 4,804 Mbps, and a 6 GHz band with the same max of 4,804 Mbps. Generally, Multi-Gig home and SMB routers, including top-tier ones, do not have enough to deliver true 10Gbps (10,000Mbps) throughputs.

Generally, for the best performance and value, you should use this router in a mesh only when wired backhauling is available. I tried a few portable SSDs with it, including the Samsung T7 Shield, My Passport SSD, and SanDisk Extreme Pro. Two rooms away, in my weatherboard cottage, it only dropped to 520Mbps, which rivals the best two-node, mega mesh systems like the Asus ZenWiFi Pro XT12.Also, if you have a lot of IoT devices then I’d recommend a wireless access point that supports multiple VLANs, so you can isolate the IoT devices in a separate VLAN for security reasons. So many “reviews” out there just go by the specs without actually testing the real hardware and giving real feedback on it, comparisons with other products, etc. For flexibility on a network, it can also be configured to perform a variety of tasks: router, repeater, access point, media bridge and AiMesh. There’s no way I can include ALL routers in a single chart, but here’s the review of the GT-AX6000, numbers are numbers, you can compare the two that way.
