    • AX6000 Pro - Thoroughly impressed!
Style: WiFi 6 | AX6000 | Dual 2.5G Ports
First I want to say that I'm not the type of person to typically buy consumer grade networking hardware. Where possible, I will go out of my way to purchase MikroTik, Cisco, etc.. This provides me more flexibility within my home lab and ensures I won't have all services die when that typical low-grade consumer product runs itself in to the ground to where it won't boot anymore. That being said, even with MikroTik's latest WiFi 6 equipment I have been burned out in the past by their WiFi offerings in general, and I'm not the only person voicing those issues (see: MiktoTik forums). Hardware for routing is phenomenal though. Ubiquiti has their offerings, but I'm not wanting to dig in to yet another ecosystem of software - I've run TP-link gear prior with Omada controller, just don't want to put the time in to all that stuff again. Grasping at straws, I decided on the ASUS AX6000 Pro. First boot of the AX6000, set it up in to AP Mode, plugged it in to the MikroTik RB5009 2.5 port and away it went. As I do, instead of assigning a static IP I grabbed the MAC and gave it a DHCP reservation. Confirmed on the MikroTik that it auto negotiated at 2.5 Gbps. Immediately upgraded the stock firmware on the AX6000 Pro. Started poking around in settings. I was actually fairly surprised at the offerings provided by stock firmware. Typically you are very limited in tools, services etc. on consumer hardware but a lot of good stuff was there as it was. Some things were still lacking though. Likely because ASUS would not want to be liable, you cannot for example upload your own certificate for SSL/TLS use, it is either their self-published certificate or if DDNS is set up on WAN a Let's Encrypt cert. Nothing wrong with Let's Encrypt but 1) I've already got a cert I want to utilize from another public CA and 2) I'm not utilizing the WAN port anyway since we're in AP Mode. Thankfully, the Merlin firmware came to the rescue and allows a custom certificate to be uploaded plus lots of other improvements to stock firmware. All around I am thoroughly impressed with what I've been working here. My WiFi 6 NICs / devices around the house are finally being utilized to their full potential and I've had speeds that were capped on WiFi 5 (200 Mbps up and down respectively) blast way beyond that point (average 500 to 600 Mbps Internet, sometimes 700 to 800 Mbps, LAN file transfers regularly hitting 1 Gbps which is beautiful especially for the NAS). If you are in the market and unsure of quality, I'm sure this would be fantastic for an all-in-one device (utilizing WAN, providing Internet). If you are looking for more, Merlin firmware is great for this. ... show more

    • BEST value and performance AX router out there
Style: WiFi 6 | AX6000
I bought a Netgear XR500 last november for the very impressive looking DumaOS... to find a buggy, completely not fleshed out (event he VPN function advertised wasn’t implemented until a late December firmware update), insanely unstable (crashed at least once a week every week, i had to resort to using my 4yr old Netgear R7000 that was perfectly reliable) router with the company that makes DumaOS having an incredibly apathetic, “we’ll fix it when we fix it” and “No ETA’s on fixes, we make updates, Netgear releases them. Ask them” tone on all forums, i gave up on hoping it would be fleshed out at any point soon. So i got rid of it for the AX88u and flashed Merlin on it. I was looking for a traffic analyzing, enterprise-functionality router with the XR500 with every nerd knob possible (like Tomato firmware offers), and got a dumbed down buggy experience with barely even basic configuration options. The AC88u was the exact opposite. From a conditional VPN to IPS/traffic analysis/web logging/firewal/features you normally need to outfit a network with separate dedicated devices for, this handles it all with absurd speed and responsiveness in the interface. Everything i thought might be a gimmick (like trendmicro’s ‘aiprotection’) is the real deal and you could not ask for more to secure a home network unless you did go with those dedicated devices. It’s super stable (i changed core router settings that have to restart services in AsusWRT, while transferring 150GB worth of data from a client to an SSD connected to it to test network/USB speeds, and downloading a giant BFV patch on my gaming PC while on a work skype call and never even got a blip of cut-out or noise on my call. The web interface locked up because i made one kinda dumb change while doing this but the call never did!), inSANELY fast across the board (from using it as an OpenVPN client to enabling all the COU-taxing security features to topping out its resources by reading and writing to a USB-connected SSD), i can’t even convey how great this is. I wanted to see my clients’ connection rates, which interfaces they were connected to, and very importantly their life bandwidth and traffic- and within a couple clicks i can do this as if i’m navigating a Cisco ASA firewall. Just function after function, it’s all available, and it all works. I also got this for increased theoretical AC speeds and eventual AX speeds, along with wanting the fastest chipset available (my R7000 nighthawk was extremely modular, but its dual-core 1ghz CPU definitely struggled to pass VPN traffic at full bandwidth. My XR500 bricked itself after about 5 minutes of use whenever i even tried to configure the VPN. The AX88U has zero issues with that speed or stability there). So far i haven’t been able to bottleneck the CPU with anything yet without the ethernet Gb bandwidth limitation topping out first. Maybe when AX clients come into play and i set up an aggregated 2Gb link the router could start chugging in some cases, but i have no idea and really doubt it would cause a sweat at this point. Lordy, even gaming-wise i’ve been casually checking my ping in Battlefield V and Anthem, i’m getting response times i’ve never seen anywhere i’ve lived with any hardware i’ve had before (7-12ms pings, better than 95% of everyone on any server i’m put in). I even use this to manually reserve IP addresses for my non-configurable IoT devices so I know where everything is on the network. The XR500 would wipe its memory every few days, destroying the work i did there. This is super stable, leases every IP to every device i tell it on-call and never has an issue. It’s just too freaking good. My R7000 was the king of the mid 20-teens. The AX88u is the successor. In summary this thing is an utter beast. If you’re looking to go with a ‘gaming’ router, i was looking between this and the GT-AX11000 when i decided to get rid of the XR500. I chose this because they have the same horsepower, same specs, and the gimmicky 3rd band of 5Ghz the 11000 has id just that... a gimmick unless you have 300 devices in your home. I run about 50 clients in an apartment with plenty of neighbor networks and never have a problem with congestion or needing more bandwidth, especially for gaming, that this extra band ‘gives’ you. Also, the main reason i chose this is because the gaming ROG firmware on thr GT-AX11000 actually IS gimmicky. Read reviews on the GT-AC5300 and you’ll see a lack of Asus updates, constant bugs, broken features (recently an update actually stopped that 3rd 5ghz band from even broadcasting), and poorly implemented gaming functions unique to the router that just don’t work most of the time. I have a friend that runs an AiMesh with an AC88u and GT-AC5300 since Christmas and it has given nothing but issues. The worst part is, NO 3rd party firmware support with the ROG firmware. So if Asus doesn’t fix a bug, you’re out of luck. The AX88u is supported by Merlin which is the snappiest, slickest firmware out there for Asus routers. That’s the key, the firmware- and the AX88u has the one you want with no big compromises to the AX11000. Last thing, AX11000 has the 2.5GbE port. Neat, but with the 8x 1GbE ports on the AX88u you have plenty of available ports to run link aggregation on, say, a separate switch with 2.5/5/10GbE support in the future for a 2Gb pipe into any of the direct router clients, while you can put any insanely fast clients on the switch directly later when those speeds start being adopted. It’s all a win-win with this router and any future scenarios you can think of. 10/10 best router of 2019, true Netgear Nighthawk R7000 successor. ... show more

    • Should have done this years ago. I've been missing out!
Style: WiFi 6E | AXE7800
Couldn't be happier. I've tried multiple cheap extenders on Amazon before. Always just thought my internet was too slow even though I've upgraded the speed. This did the trick. Insanely fast. Still a few ports for wired connections. The imesh system is a thing of beauty. Initially had a bit of trouble setting up another router as a node. The app only wanted to recognize it as a router. Save yourself some time with this trick: Install it as a router connected to your modem. Update the firmware after the install. Factory reset. Like magic, you can now use it as a node. I've been fighting terrible wifi connections for years. I cannot believe I didn't buy this sooner. My entire house is a "smart home". No more bad signals on any device. I highly recommend! ... show more
