GT-AXE16000 quad-band WiFi 6E (802.11ax) gaming router, new 6 GHz band, dual 10G ports, 2.5G WAN port, dual WAN, AiMesh support, VPN Fusion, Triple-level game acceleration and free network security

Product Information

When we increased the distance to 30 feet away on a higher floor of the router, the speed dropped off quite a bit to 72.

Our house is cabled with cat5 but a wireless mesh with two xt8 has worked better than a cabled mesh to date due to the location of the brick walls and the sockets. Finally, there is also a log available for each of these events, so you can track how effectively it is working over time. All the stalwart consumer-configurables are there, and everything is rendered responsive and rapid thanks to the speedy 2GHz quad-core processor. They claim Asus already sent them the beta version of that firmware and it works fine and Asus will release that firmware shortly.

Plus points to ASUS for providing the AiProtection Pro feature for free without requiring a monthly subscription. But so far, this new router has proved to be excellent even with the initial firmware, which encompasses all Asus routers. It’s actually feasible to use the GT-AXE16000 as a basic non-critical file storage server with this level of performance. The issues begin with our Ethernet tests, generally thought of as the fastest and most stable way to play a game. The wireless features include Beamforming, OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access), 20/40/80/160 MHz bandwidth and a 1024-QAM high data rate.

I read the actual press release from Asus from the link and was puzzled as to why they didn’t specify whether the 2 X 10Gb ports can function as both WAN/LAN as per the RT-AX89X. Looking at the ROG Rapture will raise a smile like looking out on your driveway and seeing an Aston Martin. First we tested the wireless throughput with our wireless client, an Asus ROG laptop featuring an Intel AX201 wireless card. While it's best to set up your router from scratch, this feature can be a big time-saving method when you upgrade from a router with lots of IP reservations or perforating entries.However, I only have a 1gbps connection and my real focus is wifi stability, range and usb file sharing stability.

Thanks to the web interface, the GT-AXE16000 shares the same standard setup process, as I detailed in this post on building a home network from scratch.

The rule is you need to read the review and other comments before leaving yours, Lyad, else, you might ask questions that have already been addressed. I just wanted to say I’m happy to see your post as I ran in similar issues and waiting for ASUS Tech support to review the data and see what they come bac with. ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 has two dual-function 10 Gbps WAN/LAN ports, four 1 Gbps LAN ports, and a 2. if you set devices to connect to the node on the 5ghz band used for backhaul it will perform sub optimally.
