About this deal

However, after reading your Xt8 review I saw that the router performance of the Xt8 at 40ft in your test setup was sub 800mbps, with the satellite performance slightly lower. In comparison, this Gt-ax6000 seems considerably faster, as do a bunch of cheaper routers such as the tuf/gs 5400 and even tuf/gs 3000. The GT-AX6000 also plays great with any game consoles, including PS5®, Xbox X® and Nintendo Switch®. Gamers can instantly prioritize a console by connecting it to the dedicated Gaming Port: no complex configuration is needed, just connect the console to the special LAN-1 port for a fast, stable connection that's always at the head of the queue. Traffic Analyzer: A set of tools and statistics for those wanting to find out what’s happening in the network.

Beneath the circle on the app's home screen is a Mobile Game Mode button that lets you boost bandwidth allotment and decrease latency when playing games on your mobile device. There's also an AiMesh button for configuring a mesh network.Speaking of VPNs, Asus allows you to use your router with your VPN provider so you can have all of your devices connected to the internet through a VPN without needing to configure each one individually. This also means that devices without specific VPN abilities like game consoles can be used with a VPN. If, however, you don’t want all of your devices to connect to the VPN, such as a gaming PC where ping is important, you can use VPN Fusion to create device exceptions. Setup is easy and you likely only need to get an OpenVPN file from your VPN provider to get set up. Game First / ROG First: An integration network tool designed for ASUS ROG products for network optimization. To use this feature, you must have a ROG gaming computer.

The Adaptive QoS is a common feature available in all Asus routers and is one of the most easy-to-use QoS features among all home routers. After all, I don’t know much about modems since I primarily use “Gateways” or “combos” but I’m a fast learner! Indeed, it has four detachable antennas at four top corners. These antennas have limited swivel-ability, and it’s difficult to keep them all vertical — generally the position for optimal coverage— if you mount the router on a wall. You’ll need to screw each antenna in individually, and it can be hard to keep it tightly connected without risking breaking the parts. The router gives you all the common settings collectively found in all home routers — Dynamic DNS, port forwarding, IP Reservation, VPN, etc. — and many other useful features uniquely available in a high-end Asus gaming router.

VPN Fusion: A VPN client that allows a mix of VPN and non-VPN connections within a single network. VPN Fusion ensures VPN is used only for those needed, without affecting game consoles. (VPN Fusion was initially available to only select routers but later on became standard for most Asus routers via firmware updates.) These game-related features are the bare minimum standard to qualify an Asus router as a “gaming router,” including: I kind of like the angular hardcore gamer design with the red accent pieces and RGB lighting, but a lot of people won't. That’s mostly okay since this is router is part of the Asus ROG brand but even for a ROG product, this one stands out. While a lot of people buying this router will have a gaming tower with RGB that fits in with this, if your internet access is in another room, it may not go with the rest of your decor.

Between 14.08.2023 and 14.01.2024, enter the required information in the entry form and upload your invoice. May 5 01:05:17 kernel: UBIFS (ubi0:10): LEB size: 126976 bytes (124 KiB), min./max. I/O unit sizes: 2048 bytes/2048 bytes So, while this app is convenient and fun to use, it can cause issues if you mess around too much. AiProtection Curiously, however, the GT-AX6000 defaults to an 80MHz channel width, rather than the maximum 160MHz. I enabled the latter for testing: this makes interference from neighbouring networks more likely but it also maximises the potential bandwidth available to connecting devices.May 5 01:05:17 kernel: UBIFS (ubi0:11): FS size: 7237632 bytes (6 MiB, 57 LEBs), journal size 1015809 bytes (0 MiB, 6 LEBs) While AiProtection is available in all Asus routers, some get a stripped-down version due to their limited processing power. The XDR, which is the router unit of the XD4 mesh set, is an example. Its Network Protection and Parental Controls are neutered.) Adaptive QoS Mobile Game Mode: The ability to tune the router’s gaming settings via a single tap on the Asus mobile app. The interface allows access to a router’s tons of settings and features — some are listed below. Savvy networking enthusiasts will love that though it can be overwhelming for novice users.

The Asus GT-AX6000 has four Gigabit LAN ports, a 2.5Gbps WAN port, and another 2.5Gbps LAN port. These ports are highly programmable to support the router’s Dual-WAN and Link Aggregation features. Using the mobile app, I had the Rapture GT-AX6000 up and running in a matter of minutes. (If you're not an app person, you can also install the router using a web console.) I powered up the device, tapped the plus button in the top right corner of the home screen, and selected Set Up a New Network. I chose Asus Wireless Router from the list and used my phone's Wi-Fi settings to connect to the router. I returned to the app, and after 30 seconds or so the router was discovered. After spending some time with the GT-AX6000, though, in more ways than one, it reminded me of the GT-AXE11000. The two share the ROG theme and the exact gaming-related feature set. And the truth is, they are also similar in that neither has an additional Wi-Fi band.May 5 01:05:17 kernel: UBIFS (ubi0:11): LEB size: 126976 bytes (124 KiB), min./max. I/O unit sizes: 2048 bytes/2048 bytes The router support LAN Link Aggregation where you can combine its LAN1 and LAN 2 port to deliver a 2Gbps connection. In any case, the GT-AX6000 will eclipse the RT-AX86U, despite the fact the two share many similarities, which, by the way, is the case of almost all Asus routers since they all share the same core features. Hardware specifications: GT-AXE11000 vs GT-AX6000 vs RT-AX86U Of course the speeds are relative to other factors. We’re using iPhones 12 for wifi and a 2020 Macbook Pro. That aside, though, I like the GT-AX6000’s look and feel, and likely so will you as long as you have a good surface for it.
