There is a row of LED indicators on the front of the boxy router. They show what's happening inside, with small lights for power, which bands are active, WAN connection, LAN data movement, the Wireless Protected Setup (WPS) and whether its 2.5G connection is being used. In addition, there are switches for powering it up, Wi-Fi transmissions, WPS and the Boost feature. The system has a recessed rest button to return it to its factory specs and software. 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.

But, one of my goals is to also “future proof”. While I do not totally understand the implications of the roll out of WiFi 7, my house is fully wired, and only a few phones, tablets and IoT devices connect wirelessly. My primary focus is on a wired multi-gigabit network. 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. ROG reduces peak ping by up to 90% calculated from the reduction of peak ping rate from 80 milliseconds (ms) 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.Unlike its more expensive sibling, the GT-AXE16000, this is not a Wi-Fi 6E router, so it does not operate on the 6GHz spectrum. However, it does support UNII 4 technology, which allows it to operate at the upper end of the 5GHz band (5.9GHz), potentially avoiding interference from other devices. As a rule, in a mesh system, it’s best to wait for a few minor updates of a major release before upgrading. Depending on the hardware combo, you might need to rebuild the system from scratch or reset and re-add a satellite node if you change the major firmware version (in one or all hardware units involved.) 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… Supporting game list includes League of Legends, Overwatch, Dota 2, Hearthstone, Diablo III, Hero of the Storm, I teach in a classroom with over 30 Wifi clients, latops and iPads of various generations, maximum with Wifi 6 receivers. We do serious gaming (Minecraft Multiplayer) in class and therefore need low latency with many devices transmitting at the same time. Range is less of an issue as everyone is in a room in relative proximity. Only one powerful device is intended to be the router, no mesh. The router is mobile, set up specifically for the class, so it can’t be permanently installed. A game server is connected to the router via LAN cable, all other student devices must be connected via wifi. Currently I am testing the Netgear RAXE500 and also had the RAX200 in use, but I am not 100% satisfied with the performance. Which device, or features, would you advise me to use? I would consider one of the Asus ROG routers next, like the GT-AX11000 Pro. Or do you have a better recommendation? Reply

If the latter is Asus’s first step into Wi-Fi 6, the new router is its final hardware in this Wi-Fi standard. It seems that way, anyway. 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 Facil gestion desde la app para asignar dispositivos a una especie de grupo familiar, donde se puede definir horarios para uso de internet, muy util para definir el tiempo que pasan los niños en internet, asi como tambien para bloquear ciertas paginas, ya sea para adultos, o de streaming This thing is beautiful. I don't care about the lights, but it is a very nice looking piece of equipment, and in all fairness you can turn the lights off.I want to share an important update with you for certain pro models of Asus like AX11000 Pro, AX6000 , AX86S pro etc. These models come with an advanced Guest Network called Guest Network Pro and are present with AsusWrt firmware of a different series like mine is 3.0.0.6.102_21514. The Guest Network pro is much advanced than the Guest Network of normal Asus router notably amongst them is the Wireless Scheduling on the Guest Network VLAN or SSID itself. The Wireless Scheduling takes care of switching on the Guest WiFi at certain time of the day and switch it off as opposed to the normal guest WiFi like RT-AX3000 where you can only specify how long it needs to be ON from the time of enablement.
