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. For the most part, its performance was better, too, in my testing, …
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 GT-AX11000 vs. GT-AXE11000: A Tale of Two ASUS tri-band Gaming Routers
5 Min Read
This GT-AX11000 vs. GT-AXE11000 matchup aims to clarify that a Wi-Fi 6E tri-band router is very different from a Wi-Fi 6 counterpart. These are two different tri-band routers entirely, despite the fact they are similar in more ways than one—both are from ASUS, after all. Note: Wi-Fi 6E is still …
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 …
