ASUS GS-AX3000 Review (vs. RT-AX3000): A Solid Gaming Router
10 Min Read
In many ways, ASUS’s new ROG STRIX GS-AX3000 router replaces the RT-AX3000 (a.k.a RT-AX58U). Despite sharing these same hardware specs, the new router has some major improvements, including special online gaming features and a more responsive web interface. For the most part, its performance was better, too, in my testing, …
ASUS RT-AX68U Review: An Entry-Level Wi-Fi 6 Router that Won’t Disappoint
8 Min Read
I find the ASUS RT-AX68U AX2700 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Router, officially announced on January 13, 2021, in the U.S., a bit of an oxymoron. It’s somewhat an entry-level Wi-Fi 6 router that comes out after ASUS’s first Wi-Fi 6E machine, the GT-AXE11000. So it’s more like an exit-level Wi-Fi 6 broadcaster. …

The ASUS RT-AX82U AX5400 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Gaming Router looks the part. Gamers — well, almost anyone, actually — will love the cute design and especially the large front-facing programmable fancy lighting. On the inside, though, the new router is a somewhat muted version of the more mundane-looking RT-AX86U. It …
ASUS RT-AX86U Review: Arguably the Best Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Router to Date
14 Min Read
The RT-AX86U AX5700 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Gaming Router is the more powerful option out of the two new gaming routers ASUS announced late last month. And it proved to be a stellar contender in my testing. Unlike the GT-AX11000, the RT-AX86U is not a full gaming router, in my opinion. …
ASUS RT-AX3000 vs. RT-AX58U Review: A Solid AiMesh Pair
11 Min Read
The ASUS RT-AX3000 (as well as its RT-AX58U variant) is among the most affordable Wi-Fi 6 routers in the market, and that’s the least interesting thing about it. This little Wi-Fi machine delivers a lot more than its compact design suggests. It has a ton of useful features and support …
