ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX6000 (AX6000) Dual-Band WiFi 6 Extendable Gaming Router

Be warned!! ASUS were very slack when dealing with the issue of the firmware update restricting upload speeds. Their solution was to swap out device and not do updates after second device failure....WHAT!!! Be warned!!

I purchased this router as it has a few advantages over the Asus RT-AX86U. But the thing looks like a reject from the early StarWars movies and certainly can not be described as discrete IMHO. It has a good GUI though, with plenty of options and is fast with good coverage, and very good reviews which is why I bought it.
Pros: Easy setup; Fast; Strong signal through 260m2 single storey house; Good GUI; Supports Merlin firmware; 2 x 2.5 Gb ports; WiFi 6
Cons: The activity LEDs on the front have their function labels embossed into the black plastic, in a tiny font, and are too difficult to see at night (need to be highlighted in ...view more I purchased this router as it has a few advantages over the Asus RT-AX86U.

Hands down the best and fastest router I’ve owned. Read all sorts of reviews and waited months for it to come into the country but so glad I did. App works great setup was super easy and wifi range covers our huge house easily. Hands down the best and fastest router I’ve owned.

Upgraded from an old Netgear router, and the difference is night and day. It never cuts out, the WiFi range is much better in our house, and the WiFi 6 speeds are fantastic. It is big and bulky, and expensive but it has definitely been worth it for us. I've had it 3 months now and have had absolutely no issues. It was very easy to set up, and has many advanced features like parental control, traffic monitoring, and for network prioritisation.

This is a solid router, with many options which can be improved with ASUS Merlin firmware
There are however some downsides;

Pros; powerful, has dual wan, advanced firewall features, good mobile app, RGB, good logging/connection tracking
Cons; poor dual wan setup (ended up having to set specific subnets to specific wans just to get it to work properly), RgB can’t be synced with other Aura / RoG products, This is a solid router, with many options which can be improved with ASUS Merlin firmware

Had problems with my wifi connection as. Only getting around 200mbps for 3 years when i am a room away from the ISP modem/router. Little did i know that the ISP modem/router isnt wifi 6 compatible. I purchased this as it was highly recommended by their employee. Been using this product for about 3 weeks now, internet is never lower than 915mbps, with better wifi coverage around our house. Will surely recommend this to everybody

Only con is that is a bit pricey… but im sure if youve used it, ul know its worth every penny Had problems with my wifi connection as.

No regrets here. A little large physically, but awesome range, and and features. Made a massive difference to the home network speeds. No regrets here. A little large physically, but awesome range, and and features. Made a massive difference to the home network speeds.

This Asus Rog has been a good investment for me. The internet speed is very good and it does not drop out any time. It was a good purchase. its a bit pricy but if you paying good dollars then you will get good product. Its mostly for gaming and in the current time buying all gaming gear and using in office is a peace of mind. I have a 2 level story house and the ASUS is sitting at the bottom floor and on 2rd floor the coverage is very good with having ASUS Router sitting in tiny enclosed mini study room.

Upgraded from an rt-ac86u which is a classic, i just need more beans on wifi range and wan throughput . The range increase is amazing and the fibre throughput both wired and wireless exceeds expectations. Running with another satellite node using aimesh and not even a hiccup after about a month of use.

This is likely asus best till last of the dualband routers. If you don't want tri-band, this router is best of breed.

Merlin capable too. Upgraded from an rt-ac86u which is a classic, i just need more beans on wifi range and wan throughput .
