Yay!! More Firmware updates :)

I would suggest to go back to the previous firmware version 3.0.0.4.388_24177. I think was a good version. It seems like firmware breaks and then goes back to normal. Back in the day, the Internet Would just work on routers and modems but now maybe there’s too many options and getting good...

Hi L&LD, I have much appreciation for your comments since I have seen you here for a a few years now. I am not sure if your statement about Asus not having infinite resources came out as pure analysis or if you were bothered. However, from the Asus router that I owned before, they would get...

It’s August 2023 and Asus has not provided an update of the firmware for the XT12’s. This is quite unusual as the product was released last year. Anyone know if there is an update coming?

Hi, What is the best way to aimesh wirelessly, or make the ET 12 work well wirelessly with the GT-Ax6000? I just came into a free ET 12 unit and Rog Gt-ax6000 at a bargain price. I understand it may be a better match with an Asus tri-band unit but I really like the GT-Ax6000. Since my house...

The release online says this version is a Beta. Would it be taking a risk on the router? Thanks

Interesting views on cable runs. I hope I can run just one cable for my home but wireless performs about the same for my use cases. If I build a home, I would definitely consider the two cable approach as suggested. However, I wouldn’t see a use for four, but hey, never say never.

Omg, phones are the one thing that devalue so much. Long haul, I’ll stick with Apple, even if it’s 3 plus years old like someone here they own a iphoje. Android is like the Windows of phone operating systems, IMO. wifi 6E on a phone is overkill unless your needs are so demanding but for that...

For router recommendations, I come here and look at reviews online, SNB being the most legitimate from what I can as there are actual measurements, results, comparison and the whole jazz, instead of "This router is a definite go, pound for pound, its a must get" and "if you are a gamer and want...

Thank you. I really like your site and the objectivity on the reviews.

Hi Thiggins, now that a year has passed, will you be doing any reviews on AX routers from the current new releases to see if anything has changed?

When is support for this router expected to stop? This thing does heat up. I bought a fan and put it behind it as some people on antoher snb forum have suggested. I am not sure if performance is better, it feels slightly better, but the bottom line, is that now I am not worried it will over...

Honestly, I haven’t contacted ASUS for any of the issues with this router. SNB forums has more help, lol. Or I should say, I prefer reading for 45 minutes and seeing the jokes that people crack from time to time as opposed to me being on the phone with a representative, whom for whatever reason...

I am not sure what Asus did but they upgraded in the firmware and then broke something along the way. Since, I don’t have auto restarts, once I get it going I leave the router as is. However, it is a troublesome when I have restart both of my router & modem, and troubleshoot them to get them in...

Just made the update and the modem won’t like to the router for whatever reason. Did you find a solution to your issue?
