Hey, been real nice finally not having any network issues for the last couple months thanks to this guy. Links in the description for products and various services I use all the time. Thanks for stopping by!
This is great, i am struggling to pick between the ax6000 and axe16000, yhe ax6000 will suit me well now and for the next few years, but in 5 years time then axe16000 will still be doing a great job. I think i will get the ax6000 now and hopefully pick up the axe16000 in a few years for half the price.
I keep seeing this router going for 200€. Been thinking about it lately, as reviews suggest it has excellent coverage. I'm also considering the Synology WRX560, but at 250€ it's a bit of a stretch. The only thing really keeping me from going into this one is the size. Seeing it on video it looks absolutely massive...
Same I didn't care about gaming stuff its all about the specifications and what this offers. This device is stout! Wow the performance is stellar. I did ethernet setup with no issues. Nice review.
Meanwhile I've never had so many issues with a router. All of my Linux systems are having dns errors out of the box and I just end up resetting it constantly because I can't access the config page at all.
A very good and comprehensive review of this product. I experienced the same caveats as you mentioned, and after some tuning, I have got some really good network connectivity. Thank you for your time and efforts to share this with us all and for your honesty.
Comcast won't allow me to change my DNS on the router. I want to get one of these ASAP but hopefully they will pop up on the used market soon. Never pay retail
Hey don’t know if you’ll see this but, I have a 2gb fiber plan, my modem has a 5gb port on the back and it plugs into my current router that my isp provided which locks me at 1gb, i’m wanting to get this router and just wanted to make sure that it would fully support the 2GB speeds WIRED
hi nice video. I have question I saw you also have PC I have xfinity router but I don't like is have good range. what you recommend me get for the same price
Do I need to put my modem into bridge mode if I’m already paying for 2gig internet and my wire runs 2gig into the first port would I be able to just plug into the other 2.5 port to access my 2 gig speed? I’m looking into this if my router doesn’t work with the moca adapter.
If you're modem is also a router then yes you would need to put it into bridge mode but if it's just a modem than you dont need to do that. Typically, if you're modem has multiple network ports on the back than it's a router as well. If all you want is more ports to use your 2gig speed then a 2.5G switch might be all you need.
@@Eshcole I am not sure but I know my router is connected to another box thru fiber and also I have been in the market for a multi gig router as well so I bought the nighthawk raxe500 but it only had 1 2.5 alongside two (1+1) multi gig ports that only worked if your modem supported wan aggregation. When testing I moved theWAN port over to the 2.5 port it showed my internet speed at 2.5 gigs but my lans only put out 1gig from each port. I know my Frontier router has only 1 2.5 port but it also has a MoCa connection that allows for a MoCa adapter to use as a 2.5 lan/wan port. (I know this because the tech guy tried to setup for me but couldn’t figure out why frontiers MoCa adapter wasn’t corresponding w/ the router). So I ended up just buying my own MoCa adapter but still got only 1gig speed to realize my pc motherboards ethernetport only supports to max 1gig speed (due to what’s in the current market for motherboards). I’m also curious did you end up getting a pcie Ethernet card? I just got mine and when I install it today I hope it gets my 2gig speed otherwise I’m going to try one more time with the ASUS Gt-ax6000 and if that doesn’t work Ima just take the L and wait for some cash.
How are your 2Ghz devices at home with this router? I have purchased many newer asus gaming routers and have had so many issues with the 2ghz band constantly losing devices. To the point that I am currently still on my Asus AC3100. I will appreciate your feedback.
In my experience with these kind of features, they can be helpful but not that much. The router is still awesome even without the gaming stuff but If you have issues with lag when gaming online, the real solution is troubleshooting your network to improve your internet speed. This could lead to upgrading your internet plan or network devices.
For me, that needed 2.5GB ports for my current network the AX6000 is better. If you don't need that for yours, you can save some money and get the AX88U. I would watch more reviews specifically for that router to ensure it has all the features you want before pulling the trigger.
@@colnando sorry, dude. never had an issue with mines and it's still the heart of my network now. Return yours wherever you got it for a replacement or something different.

Highly informative! Well done.
For anyone asking. This is essentially an upgrade to the mighty AX86U! This is a beast!
Pretty much my exact upgrade. Had my asus rt1-ac86u since 2018 so a good upgrade
I know I'm a little late to the party (like 9 months), but still wanted to say thank you for the review. It really helped my decision making.
Was looking for something wireless but powerful that'll last a while, this will do nicely! Great review!
Just discovered your channel, great videos, cover all the issues I'm focused on and dealing with! Look forward to more!

how about network storage setting up a hardrive directly to the router ?

Buy a modem also n return Comcast combo router to Comcast and save 168 dollars a year.
Did the apple tv see the 5g hz on this router? Becouse some router are not showen on apple tv

Yes, use the 2.5gb ports and you should be good to go.

I do recommended for this price or lower. Definitely NOT higher. Lol

@@Eshcole side note what speed is your internet
I have gigabit internet 1000 down/1000up. Works great with this router.
Do you need a switch or could i just plug modem to one 2.5port and the other 2.5port to my pc?
Yes, you can do that if you want.

It's great! I actually talk about that specific thing in the video at 9:57
@@Eshcole Sorry I meant to ask since then how has it been. Thank you for the quick response. My previous ax11000 did not like anything to do with 2.4.
great review may i ask which one you'd recommend Asus AX86U PRO or ASUS ROG GT-AX6000 ?
From what I read about the Asus AX86U PRO, you can't really go wrong with their one. Pick the one that fits your budget the best.
@@Eshcole just pulled the trigger on the 6000 👌
@@costantineyoussif6679 how is it
Hello ik im late really late but do you have to pay monthly fees for it?
Nope, you don't.
how big is your house? is this router good for houses more than 3,000 sqm?
My home at the time of this video was ~1700sqft.
is the game acceleration
is worth it?

is this better than the AX88u by asus?

I have the asus gt ax11000 and I am not impressed with the speeds at all being that I have the 1 gig plan. Is this one better ?
Bro i cant use game server acceleration. It Is normal?
Did you buy the wtfast service and login in your account in your router?
💛💛💛
This router slows my ethernet down, anyone else have this issue? 1800 up and down through router 2200 without

how many 5hz ? two or one ?
Just one.

Asus so bad in firmware updates its can ruin your router
I've done a few so far and no issue but if you've had a bad experience in the past with Asus routers, I understand not going for this one.
I'm pissed off because mine won't work right . Ips it won't work properly drops out every 2 minets not impressed very angry
