About this deal

Like the case of the GT-AXE11000, the Asus GT AXE16000 comes with two USB ports. However, they are now placed at one corner instead of the side. Also, only one of them is a USB 3.0. I tested the GT-AXE16000’s two 10GbE ports in all possible ways and while they were fast, they didn’t sustain at full 10Gbps.

For NAT throughput, I have no idea what can be expected. We’d need an expert with the necessary equipment to do a review/benchmark.’ The feature is designed to keep the entire local network safe. In many ways, it’s a strip-down version of an add-on firewall, like the Firewalla or the subscription-based Armor from Netgear. The Asus GT-AX16000’s Network Protection portion of its AiProtection feature. While still imperfect, the Asus GT-AXE16000 is my first recommendation (almost) without reservation. Get one — or start saving up — today!A status circle in the center of the screen displays Aura RGB lighting settings, real-time network traffic statistics,network SSID names, CPU and memory usage, and the number of wired and wireless clients that are currently connected to the network. Arrows on either side of the circle allow you to toggle through the various status screens. That said, most homes won’t need the GT-AXE16000. In fact, I’d recommend it only to those desiring a Multi-Gig wired network. In this case, the new router is worth every penny, and its top Wi-Fi performance is the icing on the cake. I wouldnt get hung up waiting for wifi 7 to come, unless you are transferring absolutely massive amounts of data internally I dont know that most people should even really care. And for them to drop a premium product like this, right after the 11000, I think that kind of speaks volumes? Something this refined, with the latest chips\chipsets, doesnt exactly scream “transition”. Reply

That is always the problem with new wireless tech the devices simply are too slow to catch up. I just got this router and I have 0 regrets on it, even if wifi 7 was to release tomorrow. The speed increases to the internet are entirely negligible because im capped at 1gb down, and internally I dont really need the extra speed, Id argue no one really does honestly. The big selling point for me here was FINALLY a home router from Asus with 10gb ports\multi gig ports, I think this is their first.Troubleshooting: Ran this test with various products near all three nodes (iPhones, Laptops), rebooted, called helpline (they had me change 2.4GHz to Bandwidth 40/channel 11 & 5GHz-1 to Bandwidth 160/channel 60), restarted system again including modem. They set me up for next level of support. Though designed and marketed as part of the ROG family, which includes a long list of existing gaming routers, Asus’s latest Wi-Fi 6E router is excellent for any situation. It will satisfy and impress even the most demanding users. You might not need it — it’s overkill for most homes — but you sure want it. For any of the frequency ranges, is there anything special that I should use in the way of ethernet cables, or am I just as well off using the same kind of cables I’ve been using for the last 20 years with weaker routers?

Considering the Quad-band support, you can’t look at the GT-AXE16000 without thinking of the other elephant in the room, namely the Netgear Orbi RBRE 960, the router unit of the RBKE 960 series. But that will be the topic of a separate post. Asus GT-AXE16000: Extra detailed photos Out of the box, Asus GT AXE16000 includes an oversized power adapter — the same as the GT-AXE11000 — and a CAT6A cable. So I have to ask you what is your ultimate recommendation Both for router and the satellite. Out goal it obviously that have good wifi all over the building.Single WAN: By default, the 2.5Gbps WAN works as the designated WAN. However, when the router is up and running, you can use its interface to assign either of the two 10Gbps ports or a USB port as the new WAN port. In this case, the default 2.5Gbps WAN will work as a LAN port. On top of that, the GT-AXE16000 also has a powerful quad-core 2.0GHz CPU and now comes with 2GB of RAM, the most among the majority of home routers. WAN Link Aggregation: You can combine the main WAN port and the LAN4 ports to get a 2Gbps connection. This is for compatibility purposes only since the default WAN itself is a 2.5Gbps port. PS: Bonus question is if we need more sats then there are port on the main, does it work if we just put a switch inbetween, or it must be daisy chained. It’s really important that you are recognized your “above and beyond” level of service for how much a *quality* ally/mentor means to the community. The alchemy that is home networking is hard enough to obtain Journeyman understanding, let alone maintain bleeding edge expertise with real world expensive testing across so many subcategories.
