[ROG RAPTURE GT-AX11000] Experiences & Discussion

[AndyD]

While waiting for Amazon to deliver the new GT-AX11000, I have opened this thread to discuss this new flagship router.
I am going to pair it with my existing RT-AX88U in a mesh configuration

Why spend 350$ on the RT-AX88U if it will only be used as a node?

 

[AndyD]

That's very true mate.

Mine is on its way. It will be here Sat. I am excited to use the 2.5gb port. Hopefully Asus add WPA3 support.

How were you able to buy the router? I’ve been looking on Newegg and it seems to be sold out.

Ebay. Someone bought it because a of a recommendation and when he got it scratched off the COD key. Then found out it was too much of a router for him and could not return it since he scratched of the key. I got it for $360. It was only used to try to setup.

Oh ok! Give us your thoughts once you receive it, I’m interested in this router as well and will be interested to see your thoughts.

Will do, I am moving from a GT-AC5300 so it should be very close.

Cool! Yeah I’m currently rocking a rt-ac86u and the household is starting to fill with more and more devices so.... looking for a beefier router. If I do purchase the gt once it’s out I will run the 86u in AiMesh.

Tried to get the router's 2,5 Gbit port working with the Asus XG-U2008 switch 10Gbit port but the switch only says 1 Gbit speed (white led, not blue). Both support 802.3bz?!

 

[AndyD]

What does the status of the ethernet connection show in the router? 1 Gbit ??

Your switch uses a Marvell 88X3220 which does 1gb or 10gb. The router uses a Aquantia AQR109 chipset which does 1gb or 2.5gb. I dont think they are compatible since the Marvell does not list 2.5gb supported. Best guess.

The router say 1 Gbit, so then they aren't compatible... That was a bummer

Can you recommend a switch that uses the Aquantia AQR109 chipset we can use the 2.5 port for?

Sorry been busy. So far only real issue is my Amazon Fire tv is having issues with it. Netflix is slow and I have tried hard wire and wifi. Also HiDive (An anime app) wont stream on the Amazon TV. Apple tv is no issue.
