All things relating to Asus, a popular Taiwanese hardware vendor
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 …

If you’re on the market for a top-tier Wi-Fi 6E mesh Wi-Fi system, you must be aware of the NETGEAR RBKE960 series (available as a 3-pack RBKE963, 2-pack RBKE962, or a single router RBRE960) and the 2-pack ASUS ZenWiFi Pro ET12 (also available as a single router.) And maybe that’s …

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 …
