Though designed and marketed as part of the ROG family, which includes a long list of existing gaming routers, Asus's latest Wi-Fi 6E router is excellent for any situation.

I really appreciate your deep-dive reviews into the various networking solutions available (though, admittedly, most of this goes over my tech head). My test 4x4 AC adapter (an Asus PCE-AC88), on a Windows 10 machine, couldn't connect at first — while it could connect to other routers.

The wireless features include Beamforming, OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access), 20/40/80/160 MHz bandwidth and a 1024-QAM high data rate. A tour de force in terms of both hardware and software features, the GT-AXE16000 is overflowing with capabilities when it comes to setting up and managing a home network. You can only open them to a maximum of about 30 degrees instead of 90 degrees in the case of the GT-AX11000. In any case, have reported all these along with the relevant data logs to Asus Tech Support via the GUI’s feedback function.

While the new Wifi 7 routers may have “growth pains,” in 2023, vendors should be able to work out most bugs prior to release. Thanks for sharing, I’ll keep that in mind for if ASUS Tech Support is able to duplicate and fix the issues I reported to them. Presently, it's as good as a Wi-Fi router can be, and we likely have to wait till Wi-Fi 7 to have more capable hardware. The GT-AXE16000 comes with full support for AiProtection, part of which is the handy and free-for-life real-time Network Protection powered by Trend Micro.I haven’t really tried the router with 10Gbps stuff, Richard, and I didn’t expect it to deliver full 10Gbps.

Generally, Multi-Gig home and SMB routers, including top-tier ones, do not have enough to deliver true 10Gbps (10,000Mbps) throughputs. That being said, unlike with computers, you don’t have the flexibility to customize and choose the actual amount memory to meet your needs. The big selling point for me here was FINALLY a home router from Asus with 10gb ports\multi gig ports, I think this is their first. And for smart home owners with multiple mesh nodes and the need for a large number of devices, which of the two would be your recommendation? Instead, just like the web interface, it operates the remote management via the router's built-in support for the Dynamic DNS feature that includes a free SSL certificate.Overall, this made little sense as last year’s model of this router, the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 WiFi 6E, garnered a speedier 125 fps under identical conditions. The 5GHz-2 band is what is throwing me off – would it make a difference to the clients and end users to have that second 5GHz band since it’s not being used for backhaul, or would it add nothing at all, or the third option would it slow things down a little due to the splitting of the band?

Simply put, if this were your setup, and you were temporarily limited to a wireless backhaul solution – would you choose the ET12 as a node? First: can you please change the Leave a comment to be on the top instead of having to scroll all the way down?The speed increases to the internet are entirely negligible because im capped at 1gb down, and internally I dont really need the extra speed, Id argue no one really does honestly. So far the 16000 has exceeded my expectations, it took several hours migration from the 11000 but thus far it has been rock solid (knock on wood).
