But they are turned off by default, and you can leave them that way to use an Asus router without sharing data with the vendor. I haven’t really tried the router with 10Gbps stuff, Richard, and I didn’t expect it to deliver full 10Gbps. Ethernet LAN interface type: 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Ethernet LAN data rates: 10,100,1000,2500,10000 Mbit/s, Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X).

Looks like the AXE16000’s CPU is the reason why I couldn’t get Ookla tested wired speeds higher than 2. Like all hardware with ROG Aura light, the GT-AXE16000's lighting is programmable — you can change the colors and do all sorts of patterns with it, or turn it off completely via the web interface or the Asus mobile app. For this test, we run the game Overwatch at 1080p (fully updated to the latest version) and take metrics, including in-game latency and frames per second (FPS). It’s because 4-port switch chips are very easy for the manufacturer to acquire – IIRC they’re the most common type of switch chip, so very often you’ll see switches with port numbers that are a multiple of 4.Personally, what I would like to see is if Asus will release a router with a 10 gbps sfp+ port and a 10 gbps rj45, like the rt ax 89 x I currently have but with wifi6e support.

Thanks Dong, I’ve had Ethernet Backhaul mode enabled for both AiMesh nodes in System Settings before testing. which rivals competitor ‘mega mesh’ systems that have a second node in the room that’s connected by a dedicated, wireless, backhaul channel.I have definitely been waiting for the GT-AXE16000, so I want to swap out the GT-AXE11000 as the main – do you see any reason why I shouldn’t? It also provides excellent Parental Controls which assign comprehensive, timed access settings for different users and/or devices.

Our house is cabled with cat5 but a wireless mesh with two xt8 has worked better than a cabled mesh to date due to the location of the brick walls and the sockets.By using next-gen flagship Broadcom WiFi chipsets with the exclusive ASUS RF technology, RangeBoost Plus leverages multiple upgraded ASUS features that improve WiFi signal range and overall coverage by up to 38%.
