"Their tech support was helpful the few times I’ve reached out to them. ... They even replaced there router free of charge with a NEW one (not refurbished) of the same model when I had an issue not related to the quality of product."
"Great company, great software support"

"I have one router at the far end of the house on the 1at floor and the second router at the opposite end on the second floor. The signal extends to the yard and fully covers the house with Wi-Fi 6. House is close to 3k square feet."
"My coverage is a 3000sq ft single story and I can get a signal all through your yard."

"Also if you want to use any of the traffic analyzer bandwidth graphs or per IP data use you have to accept an EULA that clearly says they will send all your connection data to trendmicro and they will sell it to advertisers. ... You'll start to get targeted ads for anything you access in your house."

"But they abandon all their ROG products after 1 year. ... After you buy that $699 router if you need warranty or it has a bug (like mine) where it'll stop dropping macs onto ethernet after a few weeks you just get to deal with it."

"Note that in the last year I had Q3, the 5GHz wifi ran much smoother than 6Ghz and I have tried different routers with no change. So I cannot recommend a Wifi 6E router for Q3. ... Its some software problem, the pcvr connection is often broken with updates (i have some quest for 3 years) after some of the updates the 6ghz suddenly ran smooth just to revert with the next one. But 99% of the last 14months 5ghz 160mhz DFS ran better(but not always perfect). 6Ghz is usable but has a lot of microstutters/lost frames for me while 5ghz runs perfect like a cable lately (knocks on wood). ... I tried the ASUS 6E router, Acer predator W6, Tenda 6E router. All the same, with the exception of tenda, it sucked over 200mbits."

"The only thing I kinda dislike is that it only has one 2.5Gbps WAN port and one 10Gbps LAN port — they really should've included two 10Gbps ports instead. ... But if your fiber plan is higher than 2.5Gbps on the WAN side, you'll need to use the 10Gbps LAN port as the WAN. The problem is, there's no 10Gbps LAN port available for regular LAN output after that."

"I have two DNS servers (primary being pihole) added, why the fuck does the house lose internet if I have to reboot it, isn't that the point of a backup DNS server?!"

r/ASUS • Thoughts on this router? ->Yup check the tech spes for GT-AXE11000 such a skem
r/ASUS • Thoughts on this router? ->I would recommend the Asus ROG series of wireless routers if you are looking for an all in one solution. The only missing item from them is VLAN support (other than guest networks x6) unless you get into the GT-16000 model ~$550 USD. Search for an Asus ROG GT-AXE11000. There is one on Amazon right now for $264 USD. Very nice router and will handle your requirements easily. The user interface is solid, the scheduling option you referenced is there, and so much more. Good luck!

r/ASUS • Thoughts on this router? ->I got a ROG Rapture AXE 11000 earlier this year for $250. I don’t think there was anything that had comparable specs and features for a better price at the time.
r/pcmasterrace • Gaming routers have to be the biggest waste of money I feel ->I am using the older version (GT-AXE11000) and it has been running fantastic for many years. I have heard good things about the newer model (GT-AXE16000) which looks like what you have. That router should last for years and years. My router has been fantastic and I’m sure yours will too.
r/ASUS • Thoughts on this router? ->I have this router, only thing good about it is setting reboot every week at 3am, works out all kinks I had before.
r/buildapcsales • [Router] ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 Tri-band WiFi 6E Extendable Gaming Router, 6GHz Band, 2.5G Port, Triple-level Game Acceleration, VPN Fusion, Subscription-free Network Security, AiMesh Compatible -$199 ->OK, here's a budget-pick upgrade (ASUS): ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000. $266 at Amazon (USA). Tri-Band (2.4ghz/5ghz/6ghz). You didn't specify a requirement for the WAN port, but mentioned 1gbps internet speed. So with this router you could configure a 1gbps LAN port as a WAN, and use the single 2.5gbps port as a LAN port. Then connect a 2.5gbps switch to that 2.5gbps LAN port and your NAS, etc. are connected at 2.5gbps. As for antennas: 2.4ghz, 5ghz and 6ghz are all 4x4. But if you ever get internet speed greater than 1gbps you'd need a new router to maximize internet speeds and have faster LAN ports too. For a most substantial upgrade (in case you upgrade internet speed beyond 1gbps): ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000. $419 at Amazon. This one is quad band (2.4ghz/5ghz/5ghz/6ghz). All bands are 4x4. Also has two 10GB WAN/LAN ports, one 2.5gb WAN/LAN, and four gigabit LAN ports. So this would support up to 10GB internet speed, then also give you up to 10GB LAN speed (connected to a 10GB switch) for your local LAN clients. Or use the 2.5gb LAN port w/switch for that. So more expandability down the road, but this is fairly costly for a WiFi 6E router. At this price you could consider tipping your toe into WiFi 7 products. ASUS doesn't have any affordable tri-band WiFi 7 routers with at least 2.5gbps WAN and at least one 2.5gbps LAN port, from what I see ("affordable" = Less than the eye-watering $419 price above for the GT-AXE16000). I would be happy to be corrected if other Redditors know of any good options. So you could consider other brands. TP-Link offers great value, but not sure about their reliability. One option is the Archer BE800 (AKA BE19000). $350 at Amazon. 2.4ghz/5ghz/6ghz bands all 4x4. 10GB WAN/LAN, another 10GB WAN/LAN+SFP port (use one feature or the other for this port), and 4 2.5GB LAN. One note about TP-Link: They charge extra for additional security features. Looks like $53.98/year if you sign up for annual Security+ and Advanced Parental Controls subscriptions - [https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/4319/](https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/4319/) Compare that to ASUS, which gives you all the security features (Ai Protection Pro) for free with the router purchase. Just another data point.
r/HomeNetworking • Is Ubiquiti UniFi Dream 7 a solid router/AP to upgrade from Apple AirPort Extreme? ->As a huge fan of ASUS routers and MERLIN-WRT in general - this isn't worth it as a main router in 2025.

r/buildapcsales • [Router] ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 Tri-band WiFi 6E Extendable Gaming Router, 6GHz Band, 2.5G Port, Triple-level Game Acceleration, VPN Fusion, Subscription-free Network Security, AiMesh Compatible -$199 ->I was using an ASUS AXE11000 6e router with all of its 2.4, 5, and 6GHz bands in use. I replaced it with the ASUS BE98U. Picked up 30% better WiFi coverage on 2.4 and 5 GHz. Improvement on the 6GHz band was about 10% better with connections on 6GHz no longer needing to be in the same room as the router or a Mesh unit. The new WiFi 7 protocols also provide more stable connections between the router and clients - sidestepping interference. The only downside is LOT (legacy) devices can have trouble connecting to WiFi 7 - but the BE98U creates a "friendly" WiFi 6 LOT device channel in its multiple band streams. The improvement was enough to eliminate interference problems from all other WiFi interference outside my home coming from as far away as 600 feet. This doesn't even take into account the huge improvement in available download and upload speeds. One of my LOT devices is 200 feet from my home at a gate and it's connection is now rock solid. So, yes there are good reason to upgrade to WiFi 7. Ignore the naysayers.
