About this deal

Hardware specifications: Asus GT-AX11000 Pro vs GT-AX11000 vs GT-AXE11000 Asus GT-AX11000 Pro vs GT-AX11000 vs GT-AXE11000: A more sensible design With a 95-foot range in my older 3,500-square-foot home, the GT-AX11000 fell just short of filling the house with Wi-Fi. While the router covered an exterior porch, a corner of the basement was left without wireless data. By contrast, the Netgear Nighthawk XR500 Pro Gaming Router had a 115-foot range. I have a 2 story home, with my office in the finished basement, and WiFi needs that span the 60 ft length of the house, plus the garage (WiFi garage door openers / cameras) and past that to the driveway (light / camera). Each floor is about 1600 sq ft and the basement is about the same. I’ve been through several versions of WiFi devices here over many years, from the early fairly awful ones through MoCa adapters / APs to extend the range of my ISP’s modem / gateway / AP. When Google WiFi came out, I took a chance, and while it was limited and never spectacular, it was the first solid experience I had with WiFi in the house in about 20 years. I added nodes over the years, wound up replacing the “Google” nodes with Nest nodes, and for a few months it was good (again – not “great”), with WiFi speeds anywhere from 250 to 350 Mbps around most of the house. (My ISP service is nominally 1 Gbps, actual seems to hover at 850 to 900). Down in the basement I have a Nest router functioning as a mesh node, with a CAT5e cable from one of the LAN ports going to my desktop hub. For a couple of months, I was seeing speeds on my laptop (at my desk) in the range of 650 Mbps. Google pushed a slew of firmware updates though in what I believe to be an attempt to resolve other issues, but resulting in speeds reliability significantly reduced. I finally gave up, and am looking for an “adult” WiFi mesh at this point… Would you agree with this conclusion concerning GT-AX11000 Pro vs. GT-AXE11000? It seems to me that much of the Pro model’s second 5GHz band would still be compatible and useful for existing WiFi clients to connect to, since the new 5GHz UII-4 segments are just part of the 5-2 GHz band, which is the third band of this tri-band router. In contrast, the AXE model’s 6GHz band, which is that router’s third band, has almost no compatibility or connectivity to most existing clients. Therefore, without upgraded clients, the AX11000 Pro will provide more useful 5GHz band connectivity today than the one 5GHz band on the AXE11000.

I’d be curious to get your thoughts on the two different combos above: 1) GT-AX11000 Pro plus two XT12’s, or 2) three XT12’s. The LED status indicators are on top not in front, and In my opinion, again since this is up high on a bookshelf in the center of my home... well, they cannot be viewed at all unless you are on a ladder and use your phone to take a picture?

Spreading Signal With Familiar Flair

The GT-AX11000 Pro also gets Asus’s new RangeBoost Plus technology, as in the case of the GT-AXE16000. In reality, though, this is mostly marketing hype. With the new firmware, all Asus routers get better efficiency, and the original GT-AX11000 will get this “RangeBoost Plus” when you put the latest firmware on it.

As for the Asus GT-AXE16000, I now have 2 in my modest home. I guess I have money to burn and time on my hands? This link works behind the scenes to keep the hardware units together as a system. It also determines the ceiling bandwidth (and speed) of all devices connected to the particular broadcaster.The free router edition supports one selectable device on your network at a time with GPN traffic limits, and Wi-Fi standards: Wi-Fi 7 | Wi-Fi 6E| UNII-4 (5.9GHz) | Wi-Fi 6 | What is Wi-Fi? | Wi-Fi antennas (dBi) | Wi-Fi broadcasting/signal power (dBm) In networking, network cables are always much better than wireless in speed and reliability. Asus GT-AX11000 Pro vs GT-AX11000: A more powerful router with multiple Multi-Gig ports The GT-AX11000 uses the latest Wi-Fi 6 spec to broadcast on two 5GHz bands and one 2.4GHz band. All told, it is rated to deliver up to a maximum of 10.8Gbps to wireless devices, making it one of the hottest routers available. The Asus GT-AX11000 Pro is a Tri-band Wi-Fi 6 router — as opposed to a Tri-band Wi-Fi 6E, which is quite different. As such, it has everything you’d look for in one. Well, almost.

Permite un alto ancho de banda, ya que con otros routers que eh probado no me llegaban a dar todo el ancho de banda contratado por mi proveedor, y con la tecnologia de wifi 6, realmente se aprovecha el ancho de banda Avoid using Auto-Update for firmware: You should update the firmware when you see fit instead of letting the hardware update itself.

TEAM UP YOUR ROG GEARS FOR VICTORY

ROG reduces peak ping by up to 90% calculated from the reduction of peak ping rate from 80 milliseconds (ms) But one thing is clear, it’s much better than the non-Pro older cousin. Let’s take a closer look. Asus GT-AX11000 Pro vs GT-AX11000: The UNII-4 support In the real world, however, the GT-AX11000 had trouble getting its signal through a metal wall barrier, pushing 444.3Mbps through to the other side. That's slightly less than half of the 853.7Mbps that the Archer C5400X delivered. On the other hand, it handled the soundboard and ceiling barriers better with 807.2Mbps and 620.2Mbps available for devices; still it trailed the Archer C5400X's 832.3Mbps and 786.2Mbps. The GT-AX11000 Pro uses eight non-removable antennas, and offers a boatload of I/O ports. They include a 10Gbps LAN/WAN port, a 2.5Gbps WAN port, and four 1Gbps LAN ports. If those already-screaming top wired speeds aren't enough for your needs, the router also supports link aggregation, offering the potential for truly massive bandwidth and future-proofing. There's also one USB 3.2 (Gen 1) port and one USB 2.0 port. The router is powered by a 2GHz quad-core CPU, 256MB of flash memory, and 1GB of DDR4 RAM. The company’s select models — including RT-AX86U Pro, RT-AX88U Pro, GT-AX11000 Pro, GT-AXE16000, GT-AX6000, ZenWiFi Pro ET12/ XT12, and ExpertWiFi Series — also support a more advanced VLAN feature allowing users to customize their network ports accordingly. Additionally, these models generally share the same Pro-only features on top of the standard set available in all Asus routers.

In terms of Wi-Fi, the GT-AX11000 Pro joins a short list of Wi-Fi 6 routers that have access to the 5.9GHz UNII-4 portion or the 5GHz frequency band. However, it’s still very much the previous version at heart, albeit with some significant changes. This brief review will highlight those differences between the two — in a way, it’s a GT-AX11000 vs GT-AX11000 matchup. In many ways, the ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 Pro is the upgrade to Asus’s GT-AX11000 that came out more than three years ago. Some updates may inadvertently cause a particular model to go haywire, likely because the company tries to do so much with its routers.Every setting practically is manually configurable if you wish or you can get most settings automatically configured if not a Tech person. I am, so I LOVE it. I’m extraordinarily impressed—the upgrade from the AX11000 is working exactly as I hoped it would. I’ve never had such a seamless node configuration and stability than I’ve seen with this AX11000 Pro, and for the first time in ages I have zero network issues. I’ll be sure to follow up if anything changes. Thanks so much for this great tip! Also, note that the AX11000 Pro has newer and faster CPU and memory and WiFi chips than the original AX11000. Further, the original AX11000 will not be upgraded to the 2022 ASUSWRT firmware, but both the AX11000 Pro and AXE11000 will be supported.) ac data refers to: 40MHz / 256QAM on 2.4GHz band and 80MHz / 256QAM on 5GHz bands. ax data refers to: 40MHz / 1024QAM on 2.4GHz band and 160MHz / 1024QAM on 5GHz bands Es un producto realmente robusto, se siente de calidad, la caja en la que viene el producto es muy bonita y se siente imponente, hay varios puntos que me gustaria destacar que me gustan sobre este router de gama alta.
