ASUS RT-AX88U (AX6000) router review 5

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 03/19/2019 12:40 PM [ 20 comment(s) ]

We review the hip and new ASUS RT-AX88U, this premium router is compatible with the new AX standard also labeled as WIFI 6 standard whilst retaining it's compatibility with AC and lower bands as well. The AX88U seems to be a bit of a beast alright, loaded with features it should offer really good wired and wireless performance. The triple band Wi-Fi router from ASUS has been fitted with a quad-core processor even.

Comparing this with the ASUS AC5300 or the Netgear XR500 makes this router seem somewhat lackluster when it comes to range, Within 5 meters it holds out strong but especially the 5ghz soon as you go to a different floor that strength drops massively compared to the other two. Also does this not have the muti-band? like the others, that often seems to be a nice feature that helps

Have this router and it is the bees knees and everything in between!!

I can not complain at all with this router. After the upgraded 1Gb interweb this thing screams! And no range issues here as mines located on the ceiling of my basement (under the floor) in the middle of my house and the only thing that doesn't have full signal is my sorry arse Vizio in the basement home theater. Got all the important things wired in of course.

Only true complaint is that i wish it supported 10Gb onboard as opposed to 1Gb. Then again i don't have anything to take advantage of that yet, so alls good until the next upgrade for the puter and router in a couple more years.

Great review as always Hilbert!!

Funny is that your uploads are right there with mine. That is what i wish they'd allow like google.....1Gb up and down.... Would surely make things much faster in the realm of uploading...
