    RT-AC3100 vs GT-AX600 speed in AC mode

    The RT-AC3100 is configured in AP mode and physically connected via LAN ports to the GT-AX6000. That being said, I tested the RT-AC3100 alone in router mode, same location as my GT-AX6000 and even as a router mode, I'm only able to get 100-175 mbps when I'm near the router where has with the...

    RT-AC3100 vs GT-AX600 speed in AC mode

    Hi ! I bought a new GT-AX6000 as an upgrade from my aging RT-AC3100. My goal is to put my RT-AC3100 in access point mode in the basement for improved coverage. I have to admit, I have only being using 2.4 Ghz in the past due to distance. Now, with my new setup, my goal is to enable 5Ghz...

    Solved new GT-AX6000 - Cannot establish PPPoE connection

    Hi, I bought a GT-AX6000 to replace my aging ASUS RT-AC3100. My setup is fairly simple, I have an ONT box from Bell Fibe which is connected to the WAN port of my Asus router.

    Asus AC-3100 replacement

    Oh wow, that is a great price. Here in Canada it is currently on-sale for 349$ which equals to 254$ when you factor exchange rate. Looks like GT-AX6000 it is. I'll go read about putting my ac-3100 as AP vs AIMesh. Not too sure here but you guys seems to suggest AP. Thanks !!

    Asus AC-3100 replacement

    Does anyone know if GT-AX6000 supports running VPN as a client using NordVPN for a portion of my network but remains non-VPN for another portion ? I remember merlin firmware supporting tunneling via mac I believe but is that now more officially supported ? Thanks

    Asus AC-3100 replacement

    Thanks, I do appreciate it. Yes, I have the ability to run a wire between both routers. I'm also looking to upgrade router for increased OpenVPN speed. I'm leaning towards RT-AX86u and GT-AX6000 and running it in AIMesh with AC-3100. Thoughts ? ,

    AC-3100 with Merlin // How to remove Bell Home Hub 2000 and VLAN35 tagging ?

    The issue came back within hours after trying the hard reset fix suggested by L&LD and I just decided to plug back the HomeHub2000 between the ONT and Asus AC-3100 and this obviously resolved my issues...
