ASUS ZenWiFi ET8 vs. XT8: Pretty Much the Same Hardware with a BIG Twist
7 Min Read
In late June 2021, ASUS quietly released the ZenWiFi ET8 Whole-Home Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6E 2-pack mesh system for a relatively friendly cost of $530. And that brings us to this ZenWiFi ET8 vs. XT8 matchup. On the face of it, the new ET8 seems like a good deal, considering the …
ASUS ZenWiFi ET8 Review: A Worthy Mesh for a Wired (or Airy) Home
10 Min Read
In many ways, the ASUS ZenWiFi ET8 AXE6600 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6E Mesh System is an example of how the latest is not necessarily the greatest. This new mesh set is not a replacement for the previous ZenWiFi XT8. Despite the same look and similar hardware specs, the two have little …
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.

ASUS GT-AXE11000 vs. NETGEAR RAXE500: Patience is a Virtue
6 Min Read
This ASUS GT-AXE11000 vs. NETGEAR RAXE500 matchup is very similar to the one of the ASUS GT-AX1100 vs. NETGEAR RAX200 with a twist: Currently, I do not recommend that you rush out to buy either of the former. There’s nothing wrong with the routers themselves—they are both great in their …
ASUS GT-AXE11000 ROG Rapture Wi-Fi 6E Router Review: A Massive Luxury
14 Min Read
The ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 Wi-Fi 6E Gaming Router, originally announced in September 2020, didn’t materialize until early 2021. And it still made it to be the very first Wi-Fi 6E broadcaster in the world. Months later, there are still just a few 6GHz clients, namely, the Samsung S21 Ultra …
ASUS RP-AX56 Review: A Solid and Versatile Budget Mesh-Ready Access Point
7 Min Read
I’d get the ASUS RP-AX56 AX1800 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Repeater in a heartbeat. At $100 apiece, it’s a steal. And that’s a grand statement since, for years, I’ve made it clear that I’m no fan of Wi-Fi repeaters, especially dual-band ones. But the RP-AX56 is much more than just a …
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. …
ASUS RT-AX92U Review: A Cute and Effective Little Odd One Out of AiMesh
11 Min Read
The ASUS RT-AX92U, first released in mid-2019, is an interesting case for two reasons. First, you only find it during the transition from Wi-Fi 5 to Wi-Fi 6. And secondly, well, I reviewed it twice. Dong’s note: That’s right! You’re reading the updated review published on January 7, 2021, with …

4 Min Read
This post is all about the ASUS RT-AX88U vs. NETGEAR RAX120 matchup. Both are top-tier dual-band routers, but they are pretty different. In many ways, they represent the way their makers, ASUS and NETGEAR, approached home networking. You’ll be able to find out which suits you better by the end. …
