ASUS TUF Gaming AX6000 Dual Band WiFi 6 Extendable Gaming Router, Dual 2.5G Ports, Mobile Game Mode, Port Forwarding, Subscription-free Network Security, Instant Guard, AiMesh Compatible

I got this to control multibe networks for my iot devices, kids network and primary network. To start the setup is easy and your up and running within 10 minutes usually but this is depending on the settings your ISP use. For what i needed it was great value for money and it is fast and handles crowded network signals really well in that there has not been a noticable performance hit over wifi. The device is regually recieves firmware updates and is still very much supported by Asus, the network segregation adds little to the security of the network but it does allow you to manage these seperate networks differently. It works well with older Asus mesh products but i did find the additional network ID's i had put in place did not play well with the older devices on older firmware. The feature i was interested in was the guest network pro which gave me the ability to control my kids network availability time but it also had limited support over older AI mesh devices. This is a top product for the price and the wifi speeds are as advertised for us but this will vary per household.

Currently upgraded my 2 GT6 routers working in an AI Mesh setup over WiFi to 2 GS-BE18000 same setup! After the initial setup was completed on the app (quick and painless like usual) im currently getting stronger signals and my speed increase was beyond my expectations! I was mostly after 6Ghz band and the added MLO for WiFi 7 which are fantastic in there own ways! The speed increase i have seen between my 2 routers has gone from 200-300 Mbps to 600-800Mbps for me this increases has blown me away! To me this upgrade for reliability, stability, range and speeds for the price these routers are, is worth every penny!

So along with other reviewers this is useless with the firmware above version ending in 6436. The speeds suffer dramatically but it can easily be fixed and reverted down to any firmware version you'd like. Version 7xxx introduces WPA3 WiFi security, the first time I've ever seen that implemented. However speeds from the router drop by 90% which is why it isn't yet ready for general use. I'm on virgin using their really terrible hub 3 which cannot reach my whole home. Prior to that I was using, very successfully, the BT included smart hub 2 which was so good I discarded the Plusnet hub when I switched in favour of the by hub which I reconfigured easily to distribute Plusnet internet. That's my last 3 years of internet experience with WiFi routers! The Virgin hub3 is terrible. Speeds are good to you're standing right next to it but for your generally larger than 1 bed home, don't bother using it. I bought the GT ax 11000 to use and easily connected it to the hub3 in modem mode. To do that you wire the devices together after choosing modem mode in the Virgin hub 3 settings page, you can use any rj45 socket and cable (gen 7 is cheap now), switch on the router first, then after a minute or so switch on the Virgin hub 3, so that it finds the router in a state of grace. It then allocates an IP address to the router which then begins broadcasting internet. The Virgin hub3 turns a solid red after cycling through some green colours which means things are good. I have paired this with 2 AX92Us in my 3 floor townhouse and the performance is superb with excellent cover all over. On its own, it covers all but the 4th corner bedroom top floor, where speeds drop to 20mbps from the 213mbps everywhere else. Initial impressions: a beast of a router. It's huge. The box is beautiful, the Rog sign is aura compatible when wired into my custom-built-by-myself Asus Rog PC apparently, but I haven't tried that yet. You can switch the light off completely along with the white LEDs on the front. The 8 antennae state 'asus high performance antenna' on each. They screw in and click fold in at 45 degree or 90 degree from a flat 180 degree extension. It's quite heavy in total. Hardware: The 4 core CPU runs at 5% utilisation most of the time and the ram runs at 60%. When paired with the AX92Us the ram utilisation is 94% with no performance degradation. There are 2 usb 3.1 gen slots for adding in wired hard disk drives which I have done and use as network Lan or FTP if you are adventurous. There is a 2.5gb port which is really good if you know what it does, and 4 other standard Lan ports. Setup: is a breeze using the 'Asus router' app. You can, if not wanting an app, use your computer or mobile device and make your way to router.asus.com or 192.168.50.1 which is what the default base address is. The settings homepage seems formidable at first, but easy to understand once you tinker about. You can save the settings file to your computer and restore if needed, but you need to restore using the same asus firmware you saved them in. Firmware is easily updated by using the app or using the administration tab in the WiFi settings. The way Asus have built these things is really cool. The Aimesh really is a good idea. You can use any old Asus routers you have lying around to form an extended mesh. Obviously I've used 2 new ax routers to ge the best speeds possible for gaming using a hardwired connection to one of them, but I don't have any WiFi capable devices yet for the WiFi 6 protocol this has. Some friends will turn up with latest iPhones and will notice a difference! Quite expensive for what it is, in essence, a router, which is why I bought a used Amazon warehouse item for almost half price at £197. I wouldn't dare buy this at full price ever, instead I'd buy the AX92Us for the offer price of £266, which happens every 3 months or so, which is what I got them for new.

Great router with great performance and features BUT ONLY if you sign up to sharing lots of your browsing data. Google ASUS AIprotection and checkout the Reddit threads. If you want to use AIprotection, any form of QoS, parental controls or traffic analysis you have to agree to share browsing data with Trend Micros. I appreciate that this is the way that the protection features work but if you don’t sign up then they are all disabled and the router returns to a very very basic setup. Why do you need to sign up to use QoS or parental controls? This is marketed as a gaming router but in its basic form you cannot managed the routers QoS settings or analyse traffic. This is not made clear in the product description. If you don’t mind sharing visited browsing history, URLs, IP addresses etc with Trend Micros then fine it’s a great router. I appreciate lots of data is shared these days and scraped but it’s annoying that features that could be managed locally on the router are farmed out to servers outside your control. Read the T&Cs very carefully before agreeing. There are plenty of cheaper routers out there that do the same job as this one when it’s in its basic restricted mode. Have returned mine for a refund unfortunately. Would have loved to have kept it but not cost effective at £186.

Excellent as described, It seems that this is a lower cost version of ROG router compared to mu previous AX-11000 Pro since it is very light. Hoping that this will be as durable as my prevous ones.
