AiMesh is ASUS’s popular feature that enables its standalone routers and access points to work as part of a robust mesh Wi-Fi system.
The RT-AXE7800 is not ASUS’s first Wi-Fi 6E Tri-Band router—far from it. Before this, the company already had the GT-AXE11000, ZenWiFi ET8, GT-AXE16000, and ZenWiFi Pro ET12. But the new router still manages to be unique. Its hardware specs remind me of the NETGEAR RAXE300, and its appearance brings back …
This post is a quick comparison of the ASUS RT-AX86S, RT-AX86U, and RT-AX86U Pro. Together, they make up confusing dual-band Wi-Fi 6 options. In mid-August 2020, I published an in-depth review of the RT-AX86U, calling it “arguably the best dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router” for a good reason—the router has indeed …
With the ZenWiFi Pro XT12 around the corner, you might have missed another variant in this tri-band AiMesh family, the ZenWiFi XT9. First quietly unveiled back in May, the XT9, as the name suggests, is a step between the XT8 and the XT12. And its hardware specs show precisely that. …
If you asked me “Dong, tell me da best router to get, money is not an issue!”, which many of you actually did over the years, the ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 would be it. Aside from the bulky design and the big hurdle that is the hefty $699 suggested retail …
In more ways than one, the new ZenWiFi AX Hybrid (model XP4) is ASUS’s Powerline alternative to its entry-level ZenWiFi AX Mini (XD4). Specifically, the ASUS XP4 is its older cousin, plus the built-in Powerline capability. And that makes a huge difference in their physical shapes and functionality. Still, since …
The ZenWiFi Pro ET12—not to be confused with the XT12—is the fourth Wi-Fi 6E mesh system I’ve tested, after the Linksys AXE8400, the ZenWiFi ET8, and the NETGEAR Orbi RBKE960 series. And again, I wanted to love it as a fully wireless system but couldn’t due to the innate short …
Almost two years after the RT-AX86U—which I called the ” arguably best to date” dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router on the market—ASUS now finally has what I consider a real replacement, the ROG Rapture GT-AX6000. First announced in late 2021 and recently available for purchase, the new router has everything the …
It took me long enough to do an in-depth review of the TUF-AX5400—the router was first announced in June 2021. But that turned out to be a good thing. Like most, if not all, ASUS routers, this gaming Wi-Fi machine also suffered from bugs at launch. With the latest firmware, …
If you read my review of the ZenWiFi XT8, you’d note that I recommended it mainly for those living in a home with no network cables. If you have gotten your home wired, though, this ASUS ZenWiFi XD6 AX5400 is an equally excellent alternative. Sure, it’ll work in a wireless …
This quick post is the GS-AX5400 vs. GS-AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 router matchup. These two distinctive gaming routers, part of Asus’s ROG STRIX series, have a lot in common yet sizable differences in performance. When through, you’ll be able to figure out which one to pick for yourself. And if you …
