    5gh only on iPhone 14

    I have a bunch of IoT devices and same SSID is a huge headache and often causes connection issues. In my case I have to split and have never had any issues doing so, especially with Apple devices (iOS household).

    5gh only on iPhone 14

    On your IP14…….Settings > General > Transfer or Reset > Reset Network Settings. Hard Reboot BOTH your modem and router. Reconnect both (modem first then router). Then open WiFi settings in your IP4 and try reconnecting to 5Ghz again.

    What is this? (TP-Link Archer BE800)

    Completely agree. As a former Asus router owner, I’ve had nothing but constant issues. I‘ve tried their all latest and greatest models and same inconsistent performance. Got tired of all the BS weekly firmware updates that fixes something only to make other things worse. Switched to high-end...

    Review NETGEAR RAXE500 Nighthawk Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router Reviewed

    10 months later and the Nighthawk RAXE500 is still running like a BEAST! The one thing that impresses me the most is that my household streams all of out TV content over 4 Apple TV 4K devices (sometimes 3-4 simultaneously) and not a single time has the video paused/buffered/pixelated or such...

    GT-AXE16000 Owner's Thread

    It’s your money but $1500 can be way better spent/utilized than 2 Asus gaming routers. I hope it works out for you though.

    GT-AX6000 vs GT-AXE16000 question

    For those waiting for the AXE16000 - you do realize that ASUS will most likely come out with a “version 2” or a newer ROG model just several months later. More antennas, brighter RGB lights and extra mirrors on top! They always tend to play this very expensive game with their Guinea Pigs...

    ROG Rapture GT-AX6000 finally announced

    Makes you wonder why they are already being discounted in several places? Either it was overpriced to begin with or another subpar ROG router from Asus. My guess that it’s BOTH.

    Looking for Wifi6 Mesh - No Orbi!

    Orbi garbage? Lol. Just wait until you get the Asus Mesh set up. You’ll be running back to the Orbi. They are, by far, the best home mesh system to date. I had the RBK852 series and it was flawless. Blistering speeds inside and out of my place. Got rid of it because it was too much for my small...

    ASUS failed; [update - replaced]

    I gave up on Asus routers a few years ago. Tried dipping my feet in the water here and there and I was reminded why I left them in the first place. Crappy hardware that malfunctions shortly after purchase and repetitive firmware updates that fix one thing but breaks a few more. I’ve said this...

    GT-AX6000: LAN 2 running as a DMZ port?

    This router is so problematic that it really makes me question purchasing the AXE16000. I can’t believe the DongKowsTech guy recommends the AX6000 as his best Wi-Fi 6 router. Not sure what he’s thinking or is Asus sent him one with special/unreleased firmware. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    GT-AX6000 vs GT-AXE16000 question

    I was going to purchase the AXE16000 directly from ASUS or Amazon but I think I will wait it out until it hits Best Buy like @lilstone87 - so I can use my BB Visa card and get the total price financed (0% interest) over 18 months. Way easier to stomach than paying $770 w/ taxes upfront. Also I...

    AX86U to replace AX88U

    Try finding an open box 86U. Sometimes they pop up on New Egg and/or Best Buy. They’re usually customer returns within the return period and are almost brand new.

    GT-AX6000 vs GT-AXE16000 question

    I saw that too but when you click on the “buy” tab the price shows $649.99. Not sure which one is the correct price though. Either way it’s a ridiculous price point. Call me skeptical but I have a feeling this router will disappoint like the GT-AXE11000….. especially firmware wise.

    Set up New ROG AX6000 (w/ RMerlin) but Not Getting Fast Wi-Fi Speeds. (Please Help)

    I only hear the fan on startup otherwise it’s super quiet. I don’t have any devices that use the 6GHz band but 5GHz is phenomenal and my IoT smart home devices work perfectly on 2.4 band. No hiccups whatsoever Also much to my surprise is that Netgear has frequently released firmware updates for...

    Set up New ROG AX6000 (w/ RMerlin) but Not Getting Fast Wi-Fi Speeds. (Please Help)

    Thanks for everyone’s input and help but the ROG router is going back. Tried both RMerlin and stock fw and still very inconsistent speeds and average range compared to my Netgear RAXE500. Never had these issues with the Nighthawk router, which was blazing fast. Maybe as the fw matures for the...
