    I cannot find any differences between the TUF-AX5400 and GS-AX5400. Am I missing something?

    No itch as I need a router and was thinking I could learn some basics about networking with a good one. If I am wrong then my questions have paid off. It will just be cheaper and less of a hassle if I just learn networking basics from YT. Thanks

    I do not have service yet, but it will be spectrum@100Mbps. Btw, Amazon is a authorized retailer for ASUS right? I cannot order directly from ASUS as my CC was rejected. I think it is because my billing address (ID) and my new address are now different.

    That could have easily been my answer, but they seem to be the best Asus AX routers I can get for $100-200.Wishing I could find out if the GS will be supported in the future as I can get one new for cheap(ish).

    The questions are similar but different. Just making sure I do not overlook anything when researching products, but I get your point and your suggestions have been very helpful. ASUS's NA website is a mess when comparing 2 products side by side(light blue background) and that is what led me...

    Let me ask this...If either of you had to pick between the two which would you choose? I could just get the AX-55 since it's just me and 900sqft, but I want to dip my toes into network security and the AX-55 is just to barebones for that. Then again I might just get the AX-55 and wait until WiFi...

    Damn, I feel stupid.. I meant a RADIUS Server. Thank you! I have clicked and clicked and that webpage has never shown up for me. The webpage tried to get me to "switch the website of your location" and that page is the one I have been seeing all along with no spec sheet.

    Would you paste a link for me? I am almost 100% positive that the listing showed "no" for samba server on the GS.

    Thank you for your reply.The ASUS website is a mess. When I compare the 2 routers the website will not show all the specs of the GS-AX5400 just yes yes yes no etc. Also, I just watched a 6 month old official ASUS video on YT and the guy said the AX1800S had a USB port and had a quad core...

    SIP passthrough and samba server on the TUF are the only differences I can find. The most expensive ASUS routers have these features and so I do not want to miss out if I need them in the future. Why would the GS-AX5400 leave these features out? The GS-AX5400 is also absent from the...

    Thank you for the welcome, reply and I will look over the recommendations. I would like to clarify if 2-way IPS etc is needed for my setup or is Ai protection classic enough?

Currently, I have a Pixel 3XL (ac/4x4 5GHz, replacing soon), Google Nest hub(unboxed) and a Google Nest mini(unboxed). I plan on getting a gaming...
