Funnily, the RT-AX89X worked for me in terms of getting close to ISP-advertised wired speeds with AiProtection enabled. The AXE16000s gave me barely a quarter of those wired speeds with the same function turned on. Seems to be a NAT/CPU problem on that router according to Merlin. So I returned them. After complaining to Asus about this, they told me their development team was were working with TrendMicro to come up with a workaround for that.
It's teaser-time. Because why not.
You mean the 4916 right? BCM4912 has two SXGMII ports, BCM4916 has three SXGMII ports. That's why the GT-AXE16000 is able to provide two 10 Gbps ports.
