    RT-AX59U & TUF AX4200 (MediaTek Filogic 830)

    Went and got the ASUS TUF AX4200 today. Thought I'd share some results. This is what I get on both my M1 MacBook Air and iPhone 14 Pro (80Mhz 2x2, Tx Rate 1200, result is through 1 brick wall, distance to router: 1.5-2 meters). I basically max out my ISP connection on WiFi DL, very impressed so...

    RT-AX59U & TUF AX4200 (MediaTek Filogic 830)

    Added another candidate in the mix: the ASUS TUF AX-4200. It has the same MediaTek MT7986 SoC (12nm process, 2.0Ghz Quad-core, 512MB RAM) with a bit more flash memory 256MB (128MB in the AX59U) than the AX59U but with external antennas and a 2.5Gbps WAN port. I think it's a very good option. And...

    RT-AX59U & TUF AX4200 (MediaTek Filogic 830)

    I actually do 600-700Mbps real speed on 5GHz WiFi 6 enabled on a 1200Mbps rated connection. Both on my iPhone and my MacBook. But don’t know if there’s any possibility of getting more out of the Apple devices.

    Can you elaborate a bit more? I don’t think I have a preference on RouterOS vs ASUS WRT. Why would you choose the hAP ax3? And why put the AX59U behind the AX58U?

    1Gigabit DL and UL. FTTH. Only the smart home bridges connect to the WiFi which are around 5. I don’t think they’re a concern.

    RT-AX59U & TUF AX4200 (MediaTek Filogic 830)

    I think I specified my needs but let me summarize: I want to max out the Wi-Fi performance on my Apple devices I have. Basically all of them are WiFi 6 compatible. The other priority is stability, I want to set it up and forget it. I have 3-4 devices using the network actively (iPhone...

    So you seem to think the MikroTik is a bad option compared to the ASUS?

    RT-AX59U & TUF AX4200 (MediaTek Filogic 830)

    Thing is I’m mainly using Apple Devices and can’t get more than 600 Megabits up/down anyway due to limitations on the devices. They can’t use either 40MHz on 2.4 or 160MHz on 5GHz. And they’re all 2x2 if I remember correctly. So don’t know if I’ll see any benefit from the AX4200.

    Thanks for the info. I'm also considering MikroTik hAP AX2 and AX3 but although I've heard great things about MikroTik, my main priority is WiFi performance and stability and I don't know if they can match ASUS on that.

    RT-AX59U & TUF AX4200 (MediaTek Filogic 830)

    Hello, anyone got any experience with the ASUS AX-59U? I couldn't find much. I looked up some info and it's using the MediaTek MT7986A (Filogic 830) Quad-core @ 2Ghz. I was wondering how the MediaTek compares, it seems like a new chip (newer technology). I currently have an AX-58U with Broadcom...
