    Is the AX11000U a good purchase in late 2023?

    400€ for the non-pro and 520€ for the pro is a lot of money, yes, I think for most people not just me, especially considering that I already have the Ax86u (which was 350€ or so, i cant remember when I bought it two years ago) so getting a second router is pushing to replace this at 400-500 euro...

    Is the AX11000U a good purchase in late 2023?

    Despite Asus' own claims that it functions as a "wired" client, it does indeed compete with my macbook pro for the 5Ghz radio's attention giving equally low speeds like all their other modes. Most of those threads are old, and I was just curious if the issues from when the router was new had...

    Is the AX11000U a good purchase in late 2023?

    The AX11000 may not peivide much faster speeds, but it does provide triple bands, so that my mac mini can be on one 5ghz radio and my other mac can be on the second 5ghz radio. I tred teo routers and media bridge and it did nothing. Two radios is what i need. i tried kt with tje triple band...

    Why is my wireless LAN speed slower than my wireless internet speed on AX86U?

    I did right now, and it did increase performance... maybe? Perhaps 30-40mbps, not by much, but slightly. Also could have been normal fluctuations.

    ax86u vs ax88u Pro vs GT-ax6000 vs GT-ax11000

    Soory, typo, meant AX86U. That's precisely the router I was thinking of. It was my first Asus, and I remember reading somehwere here that Asus apparantly kept supporting it due to its popularity and units sold. That and the AC86U, so I naturally assumed AX68U and AX86U would follow suit. I...

    Is the AX11000U a good purchase in late 2023?

    In this thread I tried to get to the bottom of why my WLAN was slower than I expected. Long story short, my AX86U has only one 5GHz radio and my mac mini and macbook pro are both on wireless (wired is not an option, details in the other post if your're curious, but believe me it's not...

    ax86u vs ax88u Pro vs GT-ax6000 vs GT-ax11000

    Will the AX11000 get the 3.0.0.6? Or is it being cut off as well like ax86u? And why are they being cut off? Arent they good routers capa le pf running the newest firmware or is it just sneaky tactics from asus to sell new routers? What does this mean for merlinwrt? Will ax86u (non pro) soon be...

    Why is my wireless LAN speed slower than my wireless internet speed on AX86U?

    That's a brilliant idea! I did what you suggested and set it in AP-mode, 5Ghz radio, different SSID, disabled universal beamforming, plugged into AX86U and chose channel 140, since my AX86U is on the other side of the spectrum. The ethernet cable is kinda short, so I had to place it two shelves...

    OpenVPN throughput: AES-128-CBC vs CHACHA20-POLY1305

    Oh my, I'm sorry, I didn't realise this thread was from 2020. It popped up on the right next to all the other "latest threads" so I clicked on it as it looked interesting. Don't know how I made this mistake. Sorry, nothing to see here :)

    OpenVPN throughput: AES-128-CBC vs CHACHA20-POLY1305

    Out of curiosity what would the speed difference be had you run the same test on the AX88U for instance?

    Why is my wireless LAN speed slower than my wireless internet speed on AX86U?

    I forgot to post an answer to my own original question of this thread: "Why is my wireless LAN speed slower than my wireless internet speed on AX86U?" Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I've learned here, it's because using samba to transfer a file between two computers, the AX86U's single...

    OpenVPN throughput: AES-128-CBC vs CHACHA20-POLY1305

    Why are you testing it on the AC66U? Why not run the test again on one of your beefier routers such as your AX88U?

    Why is my wireless LAN speed slower than my wireless internet speed on AX86U?

    Final UPDATE: So I caved in, and got yet another router, the TP-Link AX7800 Triband router, just to make sure it isn't just Asus chipset and firmware that's doing somehting weird or is incompatible with my macs. It's a 350€ router here in my country and the best one available in my local store...

    Why is my wireless LAN speed slower than my wireless internet speed on AX86U?

    UPDATE: Went and got the AX1800U, set it up and placed in the exact same spot as the AX86U. Everything on wireless. [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth [ 4] 0.00-1.00 sec 30.3 MBytes 254 Mbits/sec [ 4] 1.00-2.00 sec 29.6 MBytes 249 Mbits/sec...

    Why is my wireless LAN speed slower than my wireless internet speed on AX86U?

    Thanks, cool that you found my post on Infuse forum :p I will see what he writes. But Infuse is just one part of the problem ( which I wrote earlier and you also pointed out now, Infuse has had slow smb-speeds complaints for years from users, so there's nothing new there), the other problem is...

    Why is my wireless LAN speed slower than my wireless internet speed on AX86U?

    No, sorry, I don't. Only macs here. 😕 I'm gonna go and get another Asus router - the AX1800U - and see if that helps. It can push out 1201mbps on the 5Ghz-radio, so should be enough to test and see if it's my AX86U that's causing the lame wlan-speeds or not. I did try with the ISP combo...

    Why is my wireless LAN speed slower than my wireless internet speed on AX86U?

    thanks for the suggestions. I tried three different ways. The AX86U is in the study room next door, while macbook pro and mac mini is in the living room close to each other. So the path is: mac mini server (living room) - - - - -> |Wall|_AX86U_|Wall| - - - - -> macbok pro (living room) 1)...

    Why is my wireless LAN speed slower than my wireless internet speed on AX86U?

    So the missus came home, and I ran the tests from my macbook pro (client) to her macbook air (serer) over wireless in the living room (so not next doors to where the AX86U is located). Same results, perhaps slightly worse than the mac mini. [ 4] local 192.168.50.144 port 60834 connected to...

    Poll: Which Asus router is the new community darling?

    You are right. Looking at the downloads from merlin was smart. By "community darling" I meant this here community - SNBforums. I take it sometimes for granted that SNBforums is not just about merlin-firmware, even though it probably is a very popular subforum. Anyways, judging from the list of...

    Poll: Which Asus router is the new community darling?

    Good point! But I feel like I still see a lot of AC88u and ac86u posts, and I know a lot of people lvoed 68U, so I'm keeping those at least. Added your ROG :)
