Something is definitely off. I'm trying to understand why my RT-AC3100 cannot get ~500 mbps via 5Ghz.

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...

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...

Thanks ! I'll keep exploring with 3.0.0.x.

Hi ! I just upgraded my RT-AC3100 for a GT-AX6000. At this time I'm still exploring with official ASUS firmware before I start looking into merlin's. What is the difference between the 3.0.0x and 9.0.0x ? I under 9 is beta but why there is nothing in between ? 4.x 5.x 6.x 7.x 8.x ? Do you...

Hi ! I just acquired a brand new Asus GT-AX6000 and I am experiencing with OpenVPN server features. I had no issue configuring the OpenVPN server on the Asus, installing the OpenVPN iOS app on my phone and connecting to my local network via VPN. I'm even able to access my router via 192.168.1.1...

Issue resolved, had to tag LAN port with VLAN35 for Bell Fibe internet. Posting in case someone else has a similar issue.

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. I then establish a PPPoE connection with my ISP credentials. I removed and unplugged my RT-AC3100 and replaced it with...

Typo 6000.. Edited. Thanks again guys !! Just ordered the AX6000 + 2 x 100ft cat6. Should have everything tomorrow, will post results.

Quick question on cabling for AP. The new router GT-AX6000 and AP AC-3100 would be positioned about 100ft apart. GT-AX6000 would be on first floor AC-3100 along with my gigabit switch, NAS, etc. are located in basement. Option #1 (prefered as only 2 runs of CAT6 cables is required) GT-AX6000...

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 !!

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

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 ? ,

Removed the *urgent* as it seems to have been bothering you.

My wife has been assigned to work from home starting Tuesday and her office is a dead spot unfortunately. Looking to fix that tomorrow at the latest. I've also been reading about GT-AX6000 Would this be an even better option vs RT-AX86u ? Thanks
