ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 router review
Posted by: on: 05/01/2019 12:12 PM [
27 comment(s) ]
We review the beastly ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX11000, this premium gaming router is compatible with the new AX standard, also known as WIFI 6. Don't worry though as it is compatible with 5G AC and 2.4G lower bands as well. The GT-AX11000 has alien looks alright, loaded with features it should offer really good wired and wireless performance. The triple band Wi-Fi router from ASUS has even been fitted with a quad-core processor.

Ermagerd the number is now over 9000 :p
Idk, I'd rather see 10Gbit Ethernet on consumer routers tbh, I can think of a few things to do with that.
I agree i would rather see more 2.5Gbit connections happy it a least has one.

It's extremely fast router had mine over month now, paired up with S10+ very fast speeds over wifi, s10+ displays wifi bar with tiny number 6, router showing it's connected at over 1000Mbps.

HALF-LIFE 3 confirmed! Looks like a head crab
On a serious note I agree with the other commenters about the crazy antenna's!
Movie should be called ( JOHN CARPENTER'S THE ROUTER ). I hope my comment doesn't get erased just trying to throw in some jokes/laughs.

My next router purchase is gonna be one from a company that is known for providing updates/support for a 'long time', and also a router that I'll be able to use open source firmware on (which will further extend the life of the product). I'd also research the performance & features of the router, but wouldn't have to be too fancy. Really don't think it would be a Gaming Router though that I'd buy, even when I am a gamer!

I think, the router testing needs a bit more info... to see how bufferbloats reduction works...
dslreports.com/speedtest even when broken, you can set the bufferbloat be set in high resolution mode... and you can see how the shaping process works...
this increases good-put, quality of net and internet feels instant.
yes I'm very verbal about it. cause removing bufferbloat improves the perceived quickness

Asus should focus on creating better mainboards imo.
Plus it is called latency, not ping - I don't know why gamers keep saying ping. And professional-wise that's not very smart from Asus either...
e.g. PC A (192.168.0.1) <----> (192.168.0.254 - LAN Side) Router (38.22.22.1 - WAN Side) <----> Internet
NAT can be built in to provide various options that can be adjusted inside a router, and depending on how good the designers of the hardware are, many administrative functions are born e.g. Blocking access to the internet for certain machines on your network.
Blocking/Permitting access is done by firewalls. That's why there should be a Firewall between your PC A and the Router, because your Router at that point is the gateway that connects to the insecure internet WAN. The Firewall built in the Asus router is... meh. And with these features such as WTFast it is more of a security problem too.
The whole purpose of NAT is just network address translation which is used to connect a session of a private IP address that wants to connect to a public IP address and vice-versa. Private IP addresses can be used only once each address within a LAN, but there can be several LANs within a WAN, and that's why NAT (and PAT for port address translation) is required for such connections.
Although MAC addresses are used heavily in routing, we will only cover them here for simple uses.
MAC addresses never get routed. They're used to determine physical connections. Once a packet gets routed to another network, the MAC address of the packet will "change" on the other network depending on devices that are used in that particular network (routers for example). MAC works only on layer 2. Routing takes place at layer 3.
For example your PC A with its MAC address is used between the layer 2 link when it communicates with your Router. However, when the Router communicates with the Internet, it uses its own MAC Address (from the physical port that is connected to the internet) when forwarding your request that came from PC A.
Why not reviewing an AVM Fritzbox anyway?
They're not common in the USA I know, but still the best option for home users imo.
With AVM my latency to the next hop is <2ms. I don't need Asus's 400-bucks-special-features

The 5ghz perfromance on this is insanely impressive, compared to the nightgear it crushed it at long distance.... shame about the price, puts me off a lot... but i need a product that has this level of range

Why did the router cross the road? Because it could.

You show a wifi 802.11ax router but you you don't test 802.11ax feature ? Its a joke ?
And you write :
"As I am writing this review, it still is not possible to test AX or WIFI 6, AX clients are simply not yet available"
But it's wrong. Samsung Galaxy S10 has 802.11ax feature.
test not complete and not very interesting...

The AX200 M.2 cards are out now, couldn't those have been used to test AX?

See this router and think about the Krull Glaive for some reason
4 gbit porst and 1 2.5gbit port? could the not make them all 2.5gbit? mean while according to this even the 2.4gh surpashes 1 gbit speeds?

They've been announced, but I have not seen any availability. It's not like if I flick my fingers that stuff appears on my desk you know. But feel free to supply them and I'd be happy to check it out

Wow I just bothered to check the prices on this almost 500$ for a router and the skimped on the ethernet? I think 199 is about far as I will to go on router

I do have question maybe HH can answer. have router hit point where there powerfull enough to have QOS enabled and wired lines can push 500+mbit with out bogging down other clients wired and wifi? talking atlest 2 wired connection and 8+ wifi connections my AC66U could push 200+ mbit but only if QOS was off if it was on it maxed out at around 110mbit
I current using sagecom fast 5260 and it can handle data fast enough soon as 1 person is streaming anything, any game mobile or other wise starts to slow down on it connection speeds, soon as streaming stops it fine. my AC66U is better then this Sagecom Router. Next time I take trip back NJ take that AC66U with me I was at some point thing of getting the AC86U never got around to right now it only me really using internet here but that will change once rest of people come to this house.

Netgate SG-1100 with PfSense: $159.00 US sourced from netgate.com store.
EnGenius EnTurbo EAP2200 Triband 11ac Wave2 AP: $178.00 US sourced from newegg.com.
This is probably overkill for most people, but I feel would be a better value than this asus rog thing. I am not trying to hate on asus routers (have used several i liked) but if you are going to spend several hundred dollars on network equipment, get better than consumer grade.
