    Asus RT-AX86U vs RT-AC86U - Battle of the Best AC WiFi 5 & AX WiFi 6 Router - Worth the Upgrade?

    Yes. It should work better as long as the problems are hardware related and not another problem related to Wifi interference or settings issues. There were reported overheating and hardware failure problems with the AC86U. The AX86U will also give you upgraded hardware, Wifi 6/AX capability and...

    New Speed Plan For AT&T 10Gb Usa And Vodafone Germany 2Gb But !!!!!!!

    You're good. We will still have backwards compatibility for those older devices. Those devices you mentioned don't need high speed data anyway.

    New Speed Plan For AT&T 10Gb Usa And Vodafone Germany 2Gb But !!!!!!!

    If true it's great news for home consumers. We need to have the home equipment to take advantage of all that speed. Wifi 6/AX is becoming the new wireless standard and it's time to upgrade our wired networking equipment to 10GbE. The older home technologies like wireless N, AC and wired 1GbE...

    What's the verdict on the RT-AX88U vs RT-AX86U vs GT-AXE11000 if I'm buying today

    You're just making this part up out of thin air. The CNET review or "that guy" wasn't making those claims about the RT-AX88U. The tests and the review compared different top routers of different brands of routers and compared their latency. It doesn't matter if the CNET review isn't a head to...

    What's the verdict on the RT-AX88U vs RT-AX86U vs GT-AXE11000 if I'm buying today

    That CNET review speaks for itself. It was their latency testing that showed the AX86U to have the lowest latency. Many routers from many different brands use the same CPU but they have much different test results. There is a lot more to a router's performance than just the hardware components...

    Is RT-AX3000 lot better than RT-AC68U?

    Soon to be ancient history along with 10GbE. :D

    Is RT-AX3000 lot better than RT-AC68U?

    This past year I have given away four AC68Us (soon to be five) to a friend who likes to tinker with networking. It's twelve year old technology that has been looking for a replacement. If it's still working well for you then keep using it and save up your money for a higher end Asus AX/Wifi 6...

    QNAP's sub $1,400 16-port SFP28 L2 switch

    Great information about the newer 10GbE equipment. QNAP has been releasing a number of products within the price range for homes and small businesses. I expect 10GbE+ home networking will be the new normal in the not too distant future. The wireless router manufacturers are playing the game of...

    ASUS announces the new Quad-Band ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 ushering in 10GbE

    The disagreements involving @Tech9 are almost always with my simple opinions. They almost always have been. If I post an opinion first and another forum member(s) disagrees with it and doesn't provide me with strong evidence that convinces me that my original opinion is flawed then I have no...

    ASUS announces the new Quad-Band ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 ushering in 10GbE

    There is this persistent obsession with knit picking, belittling and trying to discredit other frequent contributors who are willing to express their opinions that may disagree with yours. Engaging in any kind of back and forth discussion often escalates into an unpleasant time exhaustive...

    ASUS announces the new Quad-Band ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 ushering in 10GbE

    Yes, It says the national average internet speed test was 99.3Mbps as of April 21, 2021. Of course ISPs have been increasing their base speeds for internet services since that time. I already posted in this thread how Spectrum increased it's basic service to home internet users to 200Mbps (it...

    Ok. It's all about that nefarious user behind the keyboard making incorrect statements. Got it. ;)

    ASUS announces the new Quad-Band ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 ushering in 10GbE

    I would spend $500 or $600+ if I felt it added enough utility and performance compared to the AX86U that I already own. I have the PS5, PS4, Switch, thousands invested in games for all of them. I am not a PC gamer myself but I used to be. I actually was debating on getting the AXE11000 before it...

    ASUS announces the new Quad-Band ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 ushering in 10GbE

    I am also a technology enthusiast. I enjoy reading and knowing about new and future technology. It's fun to own it and experiment with it too. Wifi 7 is just around the corner.

    ASUS announces the new Quad-Band ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 ushering in 10GbE

    So you are saying that I as a frequent forum contributor... am someone who likes to generate big amounts of nonsense? And what's the purpose of posting this personal opinion of yours? Thanks for proving my point. So you want to stray farther off topic into talking about speed test stats that...

    ASUS announces the new Quad-Band ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 ushering in 10GbE

    You make some interesting points but I'm still going to disagree with the general premise. Hundreds of dollars or even five hundred is really not that much money for a gamer ($70 is now the base retail price for new PS5/XBox One series X games) and the number of gamers in the world who buy these...

    ASUS announces the new Quad-Band ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 ushering in 10GbE

    It's not clear what you are saying. What basic facts are supposed to stop me from creating long posts? My long posts are replies to other people's posts like yours questioning my short opinion posts. World wide speed tests including places like Africa, Central, South America, etc. is not a good...

    ASUS announces the new Quad-Band ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 ushering in 10GbE

    There were replies to my post where I expressed the desire to see more 10GbE and 5Gbe/2.5GbE ports on Asus routers. They said there was no market for it. I was giving an example where 10GbE is already offered as an option on consumer equipment like desktop computers and it has been offered as an...

    ASUS announces the new Quad-Band ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 ushering in 10GbE

    It's not off topic at all. When following the previous posts the topic is directly related to the cost of high end routers like the GT-AXE16000 and whether there is a market for technologically loaded features like higher speed SoCs and 10GbE ports. I had made a previous post of some router...
