Man, I had to come over from Google just to leave a comment on the video!! Great work man💪🏾 very well put together, great flow, straightforward, & easy to understand your process!

[@JKChavez]

thank you so much :)

[@AlexLippincot]

this was extremely helpful. I've had my GT-AX6000 for 8 months sitting in its box, finally got it installed today - my download speed more than doubled!!! Should have done it sooner ;)

[@CartelFund]

Hello, what's your internet provider? Thank you

[@RastamanOSRS]

Which port is the "dedicated gaming port" on this router? Is it the secondary 2.5Gbps port next to the WAN port? And do I have to do port forwarding in order to prioritize my PC's connection to my game and my livestream or is it as simple as just enabling "Game Device Prioritizing" within the game acceleration tab and making sure my PC is the only thing listed?

[@Donkens]

What is your internet connection at home? It doesnt say so much if i dont know what connection you have and you do a speed test.

[@JKChavez]

hi, during this test. i only have 300mbps for upload and 300mbps for download..

[@Zurcmit]

Very thorough review sir JK! Eto talaga yung inaantay ko na review and decided na ko na i’ll get for this over the AX11000. Thank you so much and more power to your channel and kudos sir!

[@JKChavez]

Thanks thanks sir.. D ko pa na try ung gt ax11000 nila, pero if kaya ng budget mas prefer ko un, habol ko ka ax11000 is ung triband capability nya para magka dedicated 5ghz backhaul for aimesh.. Pero lung may mga naka abang na lan port on other parts of the house panalo na toh si rapture ax6000

[@BATTLEDUTY-X]

Wow what a good review you showed everything that's important. I makes me want to buy one.

[@JKChavez]

thanks..

[@BATTLEDUTY-X]

@JKChavez Is there an option to do the duel WAN fail over based on a set data limit so like if one device hits an upload speed below a threshold the fail over will hit or is there not option and it's just set to 0

[@BATTLEDUTY-X]

I need to maintain an upload speed of at least 15mbps with my starlink but it sometimes goes below that if I connect the ps5. I tried QOS but I can't find the sweet spot because starlink fluctuates. I did find it works well if I have ps5 on one ISP and the computer stream on starlink. I was going to try the load blancer but if I can do a failover with a set target upload speed that would be better

[@JKChavez]

@@BATTLEDUTY-X unfortunately not available with ASUS routers, not sure if will be available on enterprise grade routers like mikrotik.. have not tried one yet.

[@hanschoa4418]

which one do you recommend? AX11000 or XT8? My router from globe is in second floor master's bedroom. my wall and stairs are solid concrete. when I go down to the kitchen, no signal. I'm also using Asus Router AX56U-V2, that is connected to my globe router. thanks

[@JKChavez]

Hi Hans, i have not tested the ax11000 yet, but i believe it is one of the best router that you can get. But in your case you are more concerned on the signal, so the xt8 2 pack would be the best option.. Just connect one xt8 on your main modem router while then other one will be on a good location where it can still detect the signal from the main xt8.. If you haven't checked my xt8 video, try to watch it, you will be amazed on how the triband mesh capability works.. :)

[@hanschoa4418]

@@JKChavez thank you

[@elpoloruve86]

To get the most out of it, how should the router be connected to my company's modem? (In bridge mode necessarily?)

[@JKChavez]

I have not tried to bridge my modem to my router, but i tried to compare via lan cable of the modem and router, the speed is the same, the only problem i think would be the dual nat for most console games..

[@elpoloruve86]

Ok I’ll try any options and eliminate doble nat

[@mrsheva8854]

Can I use this like an WiFi router? Does this connect wireless? Or trough the port of the router to my pc?

[@JKChavez]

Hi, this is a third-party wifi router that can be connected to your modem. then wireless devices like mobile phones tablets etc can connect via wireless. The you can also use the lan ports to connect laptop or desktop.

[@user-dz3ph7dl4m]

How did you get your usb mounted? I had no luck with a samsung t5

[@incity365]

Is the newest Merlin Firmware supported by this router?

[@JKChavez]

Hi, yes as per last check it should be supported..

[@waynes517]

I'm debating buying one of these. Currently using VM's super hub 4. We have 1Gig internet however when the nephews come round at weekend my 950mb/s download is reduced to 6mb/s. I think the router is struggling with load balancing. Hopefully using it in modem mode and getting one of these will help me distribute the internet fairly.

[@JKChavez]

A router like this will definitely help.manage network traffic so much better, but i believe there is a major issue here like from 950mbps to 6mbps, someone might be actually hugging the network, might be your nephew's are downloading a huge amount of data?

[@waynes517]

@@JKChavez Not quite sure. When I was their age all I ever needed was 10kb/s - I’d head to school knowing that 3 min long MP3 was in the bank by the time I got home 🤣 I love ASUS so have bitten the bullet and actually ordered it - arrives Wednesday. The dedicated gaming port should be the answer to my problems. If I can create a guest network with limited speed/bandwidth then that’s where the nephews will live 😎

[@JKChavez]

yes, i miss that era, that we only have 56kbps modem, and we have download manager installed.. :) Yes that guest network, will surely limit their bandwidth..

[@Theweldshop]

@@waynes517 how are you liking the router? Im in the midst of shopping for one my netgear nighthawk R8000p is junk.

[@waynes517]

It’s been absolutely bullet proof. I let the nephews use the guest network (you can create 3 of them!) and I can limit the bandwidth to whatever I want. It’s packed with features - the file server is quite useful for NAS I stuck a 2TB SSD to it. Also has a feature to track browsing history of devices which is useful if you’re worried about content being viewed. Also has an abundance of parental features way beyond your typical home ISP setup without additional software being installed on the client - ideal for on their phones. Literally worth every penny.

[@topfl00r.]

where does the other end of the lan cable plug into

[@JKChavez]

Hi, from your source of internet, like in my case it is connected directly to the modem router that my Internet service provider provided me.

[@du39104]

does the antennas have to go to their specific socket or not specified?

[@JKChavez]

Hi, not specified, it can go on any of the sockets.

[@markiru1732]

Hi sir right now I'm kinda thinking what to buy between ROG Rapture AX6000 or AX11000 Pro cause I've already watched your review of AX11000 pro and I think ax6000 is more better in my opinion only but what do you think is better between the two?

[@JKChavez]

Hi, both are actually good, for me the ax11000 pro is the best choice because of its triband capability and 10 gig lan. that 3rd band as a dedicated backhaul is just crazy. and that is just the main reason why i would consider getting that ax11000 pro. but if you dont have plans of having a mesh network, or create a mesh network with wired backhaul the ax6000 is a good option for it will save you a lot of money..

[@markiru1732]

@@JKChavez oh actually I plan to create a ethernet backhaul mesh network since I currently used a deco mese network setup and it's literally a pain in my @$$ hahaha I have to restart all the decos every week to maintain is full signals but same times restarting it doesn't make a change, I'm worrying since our plan is 800mbps but we only get 400mbps or less in the deco setup

[@JKChavez]

​@@markiru1732 ethernet backhaul is still the best option for mesh, great if you have already lan cables running inside the walls, just a little bit messy none, and that is why i would suggest the triband routers for clean setup and still have that full internet speed without the ethernet cables.. :)

[@markiru1732]

@@JKChavez okay thanks for the advice

[@will_tradez]

So it has to be plugged into your main Wi-Fi all the time?

[@JKChavez]

Hi, this kind of third party wifi router, make your wifi network better, but it will still require an actual internet connection, that is why you need to plug it in directly to your source of internet in my case plugged to my modem\wifi router from ISP..

[@Uncledriveee]

I don’t get how this works. Do you buy internet for it?

[@ion5314]

yes, this just creates the wifi signal

[@JKChavez]

Hi, this does not give you internet or buy internet for it, these are additional devices that you connect to modem router, yes it creates wifi signal, but the main reason you are adding a third party wifi router is better performance from your default modem-router, like better range, management of devices, better speed and a lot more..

hi sir JK Chavez, ask ko lang po if compatible ba to sa old modem ko hindi siya supported ng wifi 6 and 5ghz pero if i will connect it to rog ax6000 ma uutilized ko padin ba 5ghz and wifi 6? Lastly ilan mbps po gamit niyo na plan hehe. Will wait for your response po 😁

[@JKChavez]

Hi, yes po, wala pong issue kung si modem nyo is wifi 5 or 4 or 6, kasi ang pinaka need nyo lang po dun is modem capability para sa internet, then connect via lan cable sa new wifi router nyo, then it should work, 2.4ghz and 5ghz will work without any issue, for the wifi 6 naman it will work with older devices, pero to fully utilize yung capability ng wifi 6 routers is dapat wifi 6 devices din po.. for this video nasa 300Mbps pa lang po ako nun, plan 2,500 ni converge, now nasa 500Mbps na po..

Very nice review, I ended up buying one for myself. Looking forward to upgrading from my old router that I did have for a few good years. I had been keeping an eye between this one and Netgear, time to make a change. Its a good opportunity. I'm more curious about the VPN fusion though and see how it works whenever you're gaming and streaming at the same time, hopefully the performance is good.

[@JKChavez]

nice decision sir, for the vpn fusion i also want to try it as well if connecting to multiple vpn will hit a performance issue.. still choosing a reliable vpn service so i can include it on future router reviews with vpn capability.. :)

Is this better than the AX11000

[@JKChavez]

Hi Gene, unfortunately i have not tested the rog ax11000 yet, but per specification, if you have more than gigabit internet subscription plan, go with the gt-ax6000. but for me i will get the ax11000 for its tri band capability.

[@ar.genesecretario3288]

@@JKChavez May i ask the concept and use of Tri-Band? Where and when do you use that type of router? Thanks for replying btw.

[@JKChavez]

@@ar.genesecretario3288 triband is actually giving you additional 5ghz wifi frequency, in total you have 2.4ghz wifi network, 5Ghz-1 Wifi network, and 5Ghz-2 wifi network (not the same as just creating another ssid, each has its own individual stream, to prevent congestion if you have a ton of wireless devices). The two option for triband is (the 3rd band), 1st use it as an additional wifi network, 2nd use it as a dedicated backhaul for mesh network (if you are not planning on using a lan cable to configure mesh), aimesh with triband gives your 90 to 100 percent of your original speed, while on dual band usually 50 to 80 percent of the original speed. if you are not planning on expanding or creating a mesh network, you can get away with the gt-ax6000.

[@cafemolido5459]

[@JKChavez]

To be safe get at least cat6 ethernet cable.

because you can get cat 6 or cat 7 or cat 8, f you will be getting cat5 lan cable, there are other variants like cat5e. cat5 can only go upto 100Mbps while cat5e can go gigabit network, so it will always be safe to buy at least cat 6 lan cables..
