    ASUS GT-AXE11000 Vs Netgear RAXE500

    Yes you're right, if you set the Netgear R7800 to channel 161, it will still connect at around 650 Mbps of link speed across 2 concrete walls. This is my experience, so far with it. This will wary for each person but R7800 is surely one of the best AC2600 class router. Linksys hydra uses a...

    ASUS GT-AXE11000 Vs Netgear RAXE500

    @RMerlin Just found out both of their Tx power: ASUS GT-AXE11000 {channel 36-48 = 22.84 dbm (192 mW) } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Netgear RAXE500 {channel...

    ASUS GT-AXE11000 Vs Netgear RAXE500

    It was just about Korean vs Japanese cars, but anyways, getting back to the topic..... Assuming you're from the US/Canada and have hands on experience with US/Canadian version of ASUS routers, have you had the chance to compare it with UK/EU version ? Especially the new Wifi 6/6e? What about...

    ASUS GT-AXE11000 Vs Netgear RAXE500

    By that logic, Hyundai/Kia motors are offering 10 year warranty, which is more than their Japanese counterpart, so it automatically makes them more reliable?

    ASUS GT-AXE11000 Vs Netgear RAXE500

    2 Year warranty is because, their radios are known to fail either immediately or after sometime. In the past many have experienced this with their Asus Routers. This issue doesn't come up with Netgear. But Netgear has very little to offer on the UI side.

    ASUS GT-AXE11000 Vs Netgear RAXE500

    I totally agree with you on this, they couldn't resolve the UPnP issue on the RAX80 and blamed my modem for this which is funny. So, I had to get rid of this router and try another brand, which is ASUS but even that didn't go well, so instead I got the most powerful offering from Netgear. The...

    ASUS GT-AXE11000 Vs Netgear RAXE500

    I don't think you have seen my previous thread, where I have stated the Intel AX210 having issue dropping speeds when the router was set to 80 MHz @ 5Ghz being in the same room as router. This is not just 1 client getting poor performance. Both the laptop and phone seemed to get results much...

    ASUS GT-AXE11000 Vs Netgear RAXE500

    WiFi-6 5Ghz test on both the routers. The thing that no one will tell you, Netgear is a much better router if you want better WiFi Performance and Asus is better feature-wise. This has been my experience since the very beginning, when WiFi 5 routers were around. EDIT: This is the long range...

    GT-AXE11000 Region change

    They used to have the region setting in the older routers such as the AC68U, but not on the new ones. Their performance on WiFi is mediocre compared to the Netgear Routers. Even on the new Netgear RAXE500, which I recently got, lets me choose any region closer to me, such as Australia...

    Planning to replace the Netgear RAX80 with the ASUS AXE11000, Are channels 149-161 supported on Asus (ETSI)?

    Another BIG update, I went ahead and bought yet another router to test, but this time it is the Netgear Nighthawk RAXE500 100EUS, this router also doesn't have channels (149-161), but still has stronger signal than the ASUS GT-AXE11000 EDIT: If I set the Region to 'Australia' , I can use...

    Should I use Asuswrt-Merlin on my GT-AXE11000?

    36-48, DFS channels & 149-165, in the Middle east, I can confirm this by looking at Netgear RAX80 router. That router was purchased from an authorised local store in the Middle East (UAE) See here:

    Should I use Asuswrt-Merlin on my GT-AXE11000?

    So ASUS is shipping their EU/UK Wifi regulated goods to Middle East which is a shame. Are they too lazy to distinguish between the 2 regions and setup a different code for them. I made an Expensive mistake, cannot return the router. The Range compared to my older Netgear RAX80 is terrible in...

    Planning to replace the Netgear RAX80 with the ASUS AXE11000, Are channels 149-161 supported on Asus (ETSI)?

    Ok, I tried Wifi channel 100, but my devices don't see it. Guess what, I might have to sell the router for a loss. :( . I love this router actually, but signal strength is much worse than my Netgear RAX80 in the room. Keeping the Netgear RAX80. EDIT: I've not imported the router, this is what...

    Planning to replace the Netgear RAX80 with the ASUS AXE11000, Are channels 149-161 supported on Asus (ETSI)?

    Yes, it's AE for UAE. I can't recall but as far as I know Netgear recommended channels 149 - 161 for best Wi-Fi performance. It was somewhere in the manual for the RAX80. I'm testing it right now, and the signal has dropped significantly in the room since switching to the AXE11000. The RAX80...

    Planning to replace the Netgear RAX80 with the ASUS AXE11000, Are channels 149-161 supported on Asus (ETSI)?

    If it's allowed in the country then why it shouldn't be. BTW, I'm from UAE which is in the Middle East region. Fyi, all other Router manufacturers such as Netgear, D-link, TP-link have those upper band channels in them. Do you know that, upper band channels (149-161) help increase the signal...

    Should I use Asuswrt-Merlin on my GT-AXE11000?

    Hi @RMerlin , thankyou for taking the time for releasing new firmwares. Would you recommend using your firmware for the AXE11000 too? I've just bought it today, and upon testing I'm happy with the speeds, but my laptop which has Intel AX210 card seems to have trouble with consistency. The...

    Planning to replace the Netgear RAX80 with the ASUS AXE11000, Are channels 149-161 supported on Asus (ETSI)?

    And I was right.......AGAIN no upper band channels on this New ASUS AXE11000 for people in the countries which follow ETSI standard. How bad. Not gonna return the router tho, this is seriously upsetting, a really capable router but ASUS doesn't allow Upper range UNII-3 channels (149 -165) for...

    Planning to replace the Netgear RAX80 with the ASUS AXE11000, Are channels 149-161 supported on Asus (ETSI)?

    The screenshot as stated by @ColinTaylor , is from the US page of ASUS. And you're not right, Netgear easily recommends users to use channels 149-161 for better Wifi Performance,

    Planning to replace the Netgear RAX80 with the ASUS AXE11000, Are channels 149-161 supported on Asus (ETSI)?

    For the US its not an issue, but for the countries following the ETSI standard, there's been a lot of issue with ASUS router. I remember when I first bought the AC68U, I could actually change the region to select upper band channels from 148-161 but as of lately, ASUS is doing such a terrible...

    Planning to replace the Netgear RAX80 with the ASUS AXE11000, Are channels 149-161 supported on Asus (ETSI)?

    Hi guys, it's been a long long time, since I was last online. Question: I want to know if the new ASUS GT-AXE11000 router that are sold in countries which follow ETSI standard support channels (149-161), It's very crucial for me to know before making a big purchase. My clients: ASUS ROG 6...
