WiFi 6 Router (2020) | ASUS GT AX11000 WiFi 6 Router REVIEW

[@Retro_Dad_87]

I’ve watched several reviews on this router. You sir, cut out all the noise and got straight to the details of what I wanted to know. Great informative review and a ton of technical details. As an IT professional, I appreciate this. I was hoping you’d get more detailed into the security aspect of this router, but I understand that might have been out of scope for this video. I will be liking and subscribing to your content. Keep up the great work.

[@jefflebowski3319]

Just bought this last week. Waiting for delivery tomorrow. The information on the 5ghz channels at the 7:00 mark was clutch. Thanks for pointing this out. I don't plan on using both of the channels and will be using an older Asus router as an Aimesh Node, but had to save this video for future use. Good and informative video.

Thank you for your review. I have the Asus RT-Ac5300 and am debating on upgrading to this router. Was gonna wait but gonna bite the bullet and get this. Thank you for going in depth on the features.

[@DealUnboxing]

Appreciate the Feedback. I am also in process of AiMesh review - GT-AX11000 + GT-AC5300.

[@websterzx10r1]

@@DealUnboxing wow even better news. so which one will be ur main router and which one will be your node? would the wifi 6 technology also be used to work with the Rt-Ac5300?

[@DealUnboxing]

@@websterzx10r1 AX11000 will be the main router and GT-AC5300 would be the node.

[@anhiirr]

@@DealUnboxing if you also have an asus du-92 i would like to see how both(ac5300) compare as nodes.....since ive heard of "lesser" non 802.11ax devices bogging down the overall parent connections(aka 1 5ghz band is gated to 802.11ac, then you can put an other to 802.11ax) of the ax11000 to accommodate the node. Which is what i had seen, or that when properly configured even if it wouldnt bottle neck the 802.11ax connection or performance of the ax11000......the nodes connection cannot provide 802.11ax performance/support. Unless said node is 802.11ax capable. Thus the nodes connection could be suitable for 802.11ac devices be it most phones or smart tvs. Which is the largest/most ideal application for a node IMO. To connect weak 802.11ac TV antenna to ethernet ports on nodes. While providing a 802.11ac wifi mesh to the phones of said people viewing tv etc in room. Also projectors

[@DealUnboxing]

@@anhiirr Appreciate the feedback. I scrapped that review, because mixing AC + AX router with AiMesh was pain in the A&^. It didn't work well for some reason. I was having hard time forcing clients to switch from Main Node to satellite even though the signals were weak from the main router and i was standing next to satellite. I even enabled the fast roaming, but still no effect. I don;t know i still have to do some testing.

[@Adroita]

Thank you for doing a review in a large home! The corporate media only review routers in 1400 sqft condos. Thank you for the tweaks and data. Maybe you could add a simple diagram of the house so we can visualize obstructions and distance. I am going to try this in my 4000 sqft home as my Velop wifi5 and Asus wifi5 mesh are not very stable and slow when connecting to remote node. I watched your orbi ax6000 review but your connection only had 100 Mbps limit, so it wasn't very useful to compare to this, where you consistently had faster speeds. In your compare video you recommended the orbi though. I have 50 wifi devices.

[@ArtemisKitty]

Is that really right? 5000 square feet coverage? I know that number sounds high, but we're talking a circle here, so that's roughly only a 39ft range (radius) from the router. Is this realistic? I ask because it is marketed as "double" coverage over the standard "2500 square feet", but I hadn't really thought about that until now. It SOUNDS like twice as much, but... it's really not. Those routers - yes, the $50 ones he mentions, have about a 28ft range. Why then, are we only seeing an increase of around 1/3 more actual range, if this is accurate? Can anyone confirm this, or provide more info? One would think that with beamforming, and the increased channel separation etc., it would show more increase than that? And, if one were to go with this router, and then a mesh unit as well to expand the range, are we talking the same standard 10-20% overlap that older WDS systems used, or closer than that?

[@warmaxxx]

when would the right time to pick up a router that does long range at 50-75 range? is that even coming up

[@ArtemisKitty]

@@warmaxxx Well, I'm no pro tech youtuber myself, BUT I am personally waiting right now, as the new AX protocol is finally ratified and being rolled out to multiple manufacturers, so rather than being stuck with equipment using the AX200 chipset from Intel, we'll start seeing some competitors soon, probably rolling out around November, if history is any indication. I'm personally sitting tight with my older RT-AC2900 for that reason - I saw no point spending another 400 on a router when I KNOW there will be a newer, better, faster one soon. If you were around, you remember the "Draft-N" fiasco, where you'd basically be rolling the dice whether it would fully be 802.11N when it came out? Right now that's about where we are with AX protocol. Give it just another couple months now that we're seeing release announcements, and it should stabilize, which is when we'll see various models coming out, along with reviews of them. If you can wait a month and a half or so, I would highly recommend it, just based on my experience over the past few decades. Just my suggestion, though, as a random voice on the internet who's been doing this way too long, lol.

[@keralguy]

I cannot get sufficient range in all rooms in my moderately sized 2-Bedroom house - this was the case with all routers I tried. Something funny about all these routers which the manufacturers needs to address is that there isn't full coverage inside my flat at 3rd floor but there is sufficient coverage signal and range in the parking at the ground floor and around the building.

[@alvingaming87]

Question: - on my WiFi router, if i connect the Asus Rapture GT-AXE11000, does the speed affected if i only use Cat5 or Cat6 Cable (rj45)? Does cable matters?

[@mickeymallette2663]

There are several good routers in ASUS WiFi-6 line. Which would you suggest as best value with streaming? Gaming is not an issue. MU-MIMO is of great importance to me, though, just because of many WiFi devices that are common (TVs, devices, smart plugs, etc.)

[@blbhansel8226]

pls does this router support WPA3 , i am having issue finding this on their sites , some sites mention it does have WPA3 and some shows it does not have , so pls as an owner can u confirm this with me , also while doing the iperf3 test , u mentioned u did use the macbook as the iperf3 server , so i want to know did u use another laptop with the intel card while running the iperf3 test and using it as a client or is it the same macbook u did use as iperf3 server /thanks and look forward to ur reply

[@seriousjack4276]

Always great content and detailed information. I was planning to upgrade my 5 year old Asus AC1900 router, but i am looking to get Mesh system instead of single router. Any thoughts?

[@DealUnboxing]

Appreciate it. Please checkout the WiFi 6 Mesh reviews. If you have 5000 or more sqft i would highly recommend mesh over single wifi router.

[@anhiirr]

imo it all depends on how many people you are trying to accommodate, do you throw lots of partys/get togethers/ is your area a cellphone provider deadzone etc......is your wifi primarily for your own personal use. To how many rooms do you use/walls are there made of concrete etc as far as needing wifi strength. Office/gaming and main 4k smart tvs/consoles......would be your primary devices. with phones and other non heavy pc users as secondary. Now.......if youre talking upgrading an AC1900....id say go to the ax11000.....bc mesh IMO is for people w/smart home and locks etc. Smart devices where you want to insure a connection, have a NAS or media server and dont want to run a piggy back router or mesh from said ax11000 to nas or etc. Then a mesh option could be less problematic for you. but idk if half of those would apply to you. Plus most people do wind up getting 2 routers anyways with nas setups......in which case you can run an ax11000. with Asus du-92 for full wifi6 mesh support. IJS. Which costs as much as non 802.11ax/wifi6 mesh systems. While having 500+megabit via wireless on a single device. Meaning multiple devices if you have full 960megabit. Which is why i favor the ax11000. Bc you can put it where you game on pcs/laptops......and typically run a lesser asus router or old used one etc. As a node for your console and 4k tv. Which can also power other smart devices and etc. 2.4ghz band doesnt need to be for wifi6 you can just run 802.11ac across the board and connect all the smart devices there with a remote app etc on phone. Just depends on if youre running like wifi locks and security cam systems that record to NAS etc or not and are suiting a more personal use vs largely other use means with your wifi.

[@AbueloHuerta]

This router has AIMesh system and your old router the ac1900 can work as one of the nodes. www.asus.com/microsite/AiMesh/en/index.html

[@williamwilkinson6905]

I'd like to know if any of the routers gaming features would benefit your game over a wired connection. I might buy one and hard wire it into my PC. It claims to be able to communicate with the games servers or something and reduce latency. Is this stuff of any benefit over a wired connection? I'd be grateful if you could help me with this.

We have two of these AX11000 routers in a mesh and it works like a charm. The worst room gets over 600M down and the smart home, music and all of our real-time video devices live happily together.

[@joseluisruiz3789]

Is there a BIG difference between this one and that WiFi 6E newer one that was just announced? I have Spectrum 940Mbps data speeds service. The most ive seen under WiFi off my note 9 is 651Mbps Download but like 90% of the time its less then 400Mbps download on WiFi. Now with a Cat7 shielded cable on my ps5 I also get roughly 550Mbps download and 43Mbps Upload. I wonder if this would make a difference having my own WiFi router vs the provided one.

[@DealUnboxing]

Make sure you use 160Mhz Channel, and Keep WiFi 6 devices on 5Ghz-2 with 160Mhz and see if speed improves. Because if you mix old devices with new on the same Band, it will slow down your speeds.

[@joseluisruiz3789]

how does wifi play a role in file transfer, it's purely the read and writes of the storage device that determine the speed in file transfer. its like saying the faster the wifi the faster the pc will boot

@@Bangtang_Aje first make sure you are connecting to 5Ghz channel not the 2.4ghz channel. 300/600 is good depends how far are you standing from the router and any any obstacles, walls, etc can cause the speed to slow down. Your desktop is hard wired and you cannot compare it with wireless.

You should check your Routers WiFi settings and make sure you are selecting legacy WiFi options as well. Also you can always try to switch the channels to see if it helps, because your neighbors channels might be disrupting your connections.

[@killfeed5134]

@@DealUnboxing thanks yeah I have backwards wifi compatibility checked on all channels because I have no wifi 6 clients at the moment. So no issues with the asus?

[@Great_America]

Unfortunately, Asus customer support is non-existent, which kills any thoughts of actually buying this router.

[@ArtemisKitty]

Merlin firmware though... it's OpenWRT. Not just "like" OpenWRT, but actual OpenWRT with the modules for all the devices (drivers) already installed and configured. As such, they PROVIDE the drivers in packages, so you can even compile your own OpenWRT build if you like, 100% controlling what goes into your hardware. This is actually one reason I DID choose my last router, the RT-AC2900, and I haven't been disappointed since. It's amazing now that I have it running kubernetes, mqtt, etc all on-board. No more separate raspberry pi to do the basic stuff. Edit: To clarify, what I meant there was that you don't just have Asus support behind you, which yes, you still do, but you then ALSO gain the entire OpenWRT community as well, so you have a lot more options. Sorry, I should have posted that bit first, so the rest would make more sense. :-p

I see no point of this without comparisons using the same internet provider

[@keralguy]

I have a different opinion based on my experience for the past more than 6 months. I have a 500Mbps connection from my Internet Service Providere, but my speed tests for Wifi are not taking me anywhere near that. Direct connection through an Ethernet cable gave good results but that is not the case with WIFI. Again, I tried this router on a Mac (highest configuration in the market with I9 processor) running on Windows and Bootcamp which is my regular laptop. The Network adapter is a Broadcom 802.11ac with a windows driver update as old as 4-Nov-2019. All intel devices at home were given a driver update as per manufacturer suggestion and were working fine. I am having trouble with one mac that I use regularly, another laptop with an AMD processor and all Apple devices including Ipads, which are registering extremely slow speeds - in the range less than 10Mbps for downloads and 200 Mbps for uploads which is confusing. I need a permanent solution and tried broadcom for updated drivers and haven't found any. Solutions implemented in coordination with Apple technicians didn't work and I was asked to contact ASUS who didn't respond to calls and emails. Users are getting cut-off from the internet from different devices during peak usage. By the way, which is the most reliable Internet Speed checking software in the market.

[@DealUnboxing]

It all depends on your configuration of this Router. If you separate WiFi configured for each band then connect to 5ghz band and test and make sure all your legacy devices are connected to 2.4Ghz band, Also make sure setup 160Mhz channel like i mentioned in the review.

[@keralguy]

@@DealUnboxing Thanks for the reply. I tried connecting to both bands with no better result for Apple devices. As I am aware, only the new apple devices with M1 processor supports Wifi 6 and my Mac with Intel Processor and Broadcom Network adaptor doesn't support it. Unlike Windows PCs with Intel Processor which were supported by new drivers to support Wifi 6, apple doesn't care about updating the Broadcome Network adaptor driver to support Wifi 6 - I think that that is technically impossible and they are keeping mum on it. What is the way to get out this - can I try some Wifi 6 external adaptor?? - current problem with a Macbook Pro, one AMD laptop, IPads, Ipods etc.

Does anyone make a wired only 1 gig wan with a 10 gig lan router without any wireless? I’m thinking for me I just need 2 ports wired only, 1gig wan, and 10 gig lan and keep all the features of a router. I use a mesh wifi network unrelated to my router like most people. Plus I have multiple wired switched throughout the house, I want a really good router that handles 10 gig lan , but why does everyone include wireless on the router , because most people have to buy a separate wireless mesh network because you need those mesh locations throughout the house, this one does not even include a 10 gig lan , you only get 2.5 gig lan , and I would end up not even using the wireless on the router.

[@DealUnboxing]

Yes. Asus had 10Gig LAN / WAN router. We have reviewed it on our channel. Please check it out

[@gregs5402]

How do you get to the router dashboard in the web?

[@DealUnboxing]

just use the router's IP address. which should be your default gateway IP.

[@ThomasS17]

Hey, for the channel bandwidth, is 160 MHz always best, or are there situations where you'd want to use less?

[@DealUnboxing]

I would keep 5Ghz-2 on 160mhz for best WiFi Speed, and keep 5Ghz-1 on 80mhz, and 2.4Ghz regular 40/20 Mhz.

[@ThomasS17]

@@DealUnboxing Thanks for the reply. I just got my router and tried to set it up, but I can't choose 160mhz on the 5G-2, I don't even have the tickbox to enable it (even after setting it to a fixed channel). Do you know what might be the problem here?

[@DealUnboxing]

@@ThomasS17 Please checkout the Video again, i mentioned it in detail with showing the setting. You need to select the specific channel for 160mhz on 5Ghz-2.

[@ThomasS17]

@@DealUnboxing Hi, I have set control channel to 100 on 5Ghz-2 (and all other options the same as you have), but I still don't see the 160Mhz option in the drop-down menu at all (there is also no option to enable it). I can only see it on the 5Ghz-1. Could it be because I'm on a different firmware?

@@DealUnboxing So after trying 2 different Asus routers (AX11000 and AX86u) I am sad to report that they don't perform well in my house. I replaced a Nighthawk C7000 modem router combo which worked great for 3 years. 25 feet away from the router (1400 sqft home) the 5ghz bands barely show up in my list of wifi connections (note 20 ultra and tab s7). I tried contacting Asus support, they were very unhelpful. Never had this problem with the Nighthawk combo.

[@DealUnboxing]

@@tomacheteful Interesting information. Thanks for sharing.

[@tomacheteful]

@@DealUnboxing I can only suspect that there is something restrictive (interference or physical barrier) and/or maybe reduced antenna tx power that is preventing these Asus routers from performing well. It's disappointing that the Netgear combo ( less than $200) had much stronger signal along with longer range in spite of any restricting conditions that may exist.

How do you think this would compare to the Orbi Wifi 6 Mesh system?

[@DealUnboxing]

I have new video uploaded "kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGilh2l8ha6ZbsU" ranking all the WiFi routers and mesh systems i have tested so far. Netgear Orbi 6 is ranked #1. But there alot things goes into the consideration. Orbi 6 is a mesh unit as compare to AX11000 is a single unit.

[@macmovieman1]

If you Mesh two or more of these AX11000 devices there is no comparison.

@@dronetheworld4k67 TPlink AX6000 is a great Router, or any AX11000 Category Routers. Asus 10Gig WiFi 6 router is awesome for NAS devices.

​@@DealUnboxing I might get either, but I just wish you did the NAS test for those two models since they got 2.5gbe only Thanks,

[@KripaSingh]

Here's a long story short. I still cannot find any router that can provide the same range as Linksys EA9500. I have tried this router and TP-Link Archer AX11000. Both of them failed by not connecting to one or 2 of my Ring camera outside of my home. Asus even failed to connect one of my Wemo plug. In the meantime I have ordered Netgear RX200. Let's see how that works.
