ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX6000 Dual-Band WiFi 6 Extendable Gaming Router, Dual 2.5G Ports, Triple-level Game Acceleration, Mobile Game Mode, Aura RGB, Subscription-free Network Security, AiMesh Compatible

Only complaint is that it doesn’t have wall mount. Instead of buying a packaged AIM mesh system I made my own by purchasing two of these units. Used wired backhaul and I have gig speed Wi-Fi throughout the entire house, garage, yard and our garden. 1.5 acres

Was surprised that the range wasnt better with this model. I had a TP-Link AC3000 router and got this one to upgrade the coverage and it was exactly the same. The speed is definitely faster and more consistent with this router over the TP-Link. This router is being used in a 1 bedroom apartment and its placed in the middle of the apartment.

I’ve struggled with getting my wifi to spread throughout the entirety of my large, old home. Since switching to this router, full bars everywhere in my home. Was a great investment.

Bought May 2022. Router worked fairly well after I adjusted some settings. Did monthly firmware checks. In the third month (late Aug 2022), went to do the monthly firmware update check---suddenly I couldnt connect any more to the routers settings page via ASUSs router.asus.com site (which did work for 2 1/2 months). Called Customer Service, then Tech Support. Was told I could no longer access the settings because of security concerns, and Id have to spend either $299 or $399 to buy the ASUS network cleaning/network firewall program before I could access the router settings again. When I told them no, they said Well, we can clean your network settings for $99.99, but if you dont buy the entire firewall package, this problem will happen again. When I told them to send me the quotes via e-mail so I could review it, the rep said I dont know that youre an individual, you could be from a company for all I know, so you can only purchase it while were talking. Keep in mind, they had my account open to them while we were talking. When I said forget it, then, no thanks, the tech support rep said Thats insulting, you dont trust us as a company and he hung up on me. Never again will I buy an ASUS router. Even if they go on to make the greatest router ever, with that kind of customer service, Ill never buy from them again.

Modem performs well, has a nice GUI on desktop & phone app, LEDs can be turned on and off. Speedtest results on XFinity gigabit service: Windows PC on wired LAN: 947 mbps Note 10 on Wi-Fi 6: 807 mbps Galaxy S9+ on Wi-Fi 5: 490 mbps Compared to my failing 10 month old NightHawk XR500 (random reboots/stuttering video streams) this router has better range, a better GUI, quicker Netflix 4k Dolby Vision stream start up, and snappier NEST doorbell app video performance. I did have some trouble during the initial set up while using my PC ( it would not launch the routers setup page and Internet LED on the router would not turn white like the instructions implied), but my phone had no problem with router setup after connecting it via wifi. This router dethrones the mighty NightHawk brand in my opinion (I have owned 2 NightHawks in the past) and I can easily recommend ASUS over them for performance per dollar spent. Hope this review helps ease those on the fence deciding weather or not to give ASUS a try, I am glad i did!

Easy setup and fast streaming. Lots of option in the menu.

Bought this after Dong recommended it in one of his blog posts for the 2.5gbit throughput from wan to lan since our 600mbit comcast plan is over provisioned at almost 1.5gbits down. I flashed the Merlin open source firmware onto it almost immediately since I prefer the security and power user features of open source projects like OpenWrt and DD-wrt. Then I almost returned it as the wifi connection to our android phones disconnected/reconnected every 10 seconds plus numerous other software bugs, glitches and inability to setup any advanced features via cli. Turned out the problem wasnt the hardware. It was Merlin. That open source project is a useless joke compared to OpenWrt. I realize that Merlin is constrained by the closed source nature of the newer AX chips, but still I could not figure out what it added beyond what you can actually do since the stock firmware is Linux based and the GUI lets you set up SSH CLI access to a vast and complete set of Linux networking and firewall executables of which the GUI (stock or Merlin) barely scrapes the surface. IMO the ssh -> Linux access, which I have not seen in any other consumer grade router allows these to be turned into PROsumer network devices including multi vlan (port and 801q) support, outbound and inter-subnet firewall configs, dual wan, wan and lan port aggregation plus many more features unavailable on the consumer grade crap. Decided to de-install Merlin and it could not be any more stable now. So not only decided to keep it, but Im adding an additional AX86S as an access point with a 2gbit wired backhaul. My network consists of about 40ish wifi IoT devices, many more non wifi IoT, some streaming cams plus a lot of streamed TV, plus multiple phones and laptops that require network segmentation (a buzzword that is alien in the home user market). But the ASUS can do it if you are willing to roll up your sleeves and wrestle with the CLI. Having a professional network and software engineering background doesnt hurt, but its easy enough to hire a skilled IT/Linux programmer to assist in configuring the enterprise grade features not supported by the GUI. IMO this ~$300 consumer/gamer router can be transformed into $1-2K enterprise grade security gateway, and it is one of the only consumer brands where the stock firmware allows (not to mention it is also one of the few remaining CONsumer brands that does not spy on you via required cloud accounts and phone apps just to configure the router) CLI access. All in all, on the surface it seems like a fairly good, 3.5 star product, but the hidden value with full access to Linux CLI networking commands like vlanctl, brctl, ifconfig, ip, iptables, ebtables, etc places the overall value off the charts. I should also mention that I was stupid enough to invest in a pair of Eero 6Es for my collection of insecure, spyware IoT devices. Having the Asus sitting in front of and firewalling those privacy invading nightmares to block ET from phoning home to China could not be more golden in my book.

As a Twitch Streamer this product works sooooooooo NICE the app you use is cool just play around with it a bit and the Aura lights are cool and customizable within its limits/various options! As far as PERFORMANCE goes I have typically have 32 devices on through the house like smartphones or devices (google home/smart bulbs,etc )that run on WiFi (all at once) with that in mind you GAMERS out there that know what it’s like to run streamlabs/obs/ the online game itself/ and streaming to Twitch and YouTube connected to a stream deck or laptop and computer alone can take a toll on the actual router but this runs through it LIKE A CHAMP!!! DEFINITELY ONE OF THE BEST IVE HAD

Works great for my oculus quest 2 wireless pcvr gaming
