    GT AX6000 possibly compromised or just new features?

    Hey all, Friday I checked and there was new firmware available for download. I updated to it via web GUI instead of downloading & uploading to router. After that, instead of everything just continuing working, I was on the Asus router set up page - the same one you get when you reset your...

    AX6000 1 to 2 meters proximity ping from clients

    Ugh, no sub-ms on my WiFi. Most clients are Windows 11, so I gotta enable ICMP responses individually. Wired I never get that 0.5ms, even pinging devices from the router itself. It's not my concern though (at least not the only one), the consistency is. I have a couple of servers in a DC wired...

    AX6000 1 to 2 meters proximity ping from clients

    Got a new AX6000. Set it up and testing it currently. So far it seems to be "better" but not as good as AC58U was on ping tests. Seems like the internal switch isn't among the best in these units. Don't understand why, but if I get the same "jitter" via cable or wireless, it HAS to be the...

    AX6000 1 to 2 meters proximity ping from clients

    @Volt, When GPU prices were inflated, I had to buy a GeforceNow subscription for my girlfriend. From my experience, there's no way GFN will work well via wireless. If there's trees around in the game, they'll look awful. For that, really, you have to use wired. The latency to their servers is...

    AX6000 1 to 2 meters proximity ping from clients

    The 1G+ connectivity isn't used for WAN, it's used for my home LAN. When you transfer a couple of hundred gigabytes of files, it really makes a difference, especially when you're on WiFi. My other hobby is drone flying and I have a lot of 4k60fps footage that I backup to my NAS. Each time I go...

    AX6000 1 to 2 meters proximity ping from clients

    @glens, I went over all the data and as far as I can see, your network is doing excellent. I too hope I will bring this down to the level "set it and forget it" :) Appreciate the time you took to do all those tests, they will benefit not only me but others too I hope. @drinkingbird, Yeah...

    AX6000 1 to 2 meters proximity ping from clients

    Thanks a lot! This is a bunch of useful data. Should I treat all ping data as consistent? Also, is dale connected via wire or WiFi to Zenmaster? I can see it has AX and 100mbit wired, so I guess it's wifi to it?

    AX6000 1 to 2 meters proximity ping from clients

    Plan B will be the only plan if my full old testing checks out to be different than with the new router. I haven't done those ping checks in a couple of years for sure, but that's the whole point - set those router things and forget about them, enjoy using the network. But that's gonna take a...

    AX6000 1 to 2 meters proximity ping from clients

    Thanks for the response Sally. Regarding power saving, I think I disabled all there is, but still run my tests connected to AC power or plug in my PD battery bank to avoid any power saving by any link. I think my AX6000 is a dud but I'm still doing tests since returns are a PITA. I'm getting...

    What problems did you encounter with no ACK? I usually kept that off, and on AX6000 it's on by default.

    AX6000 1 to 2 meters proximity ping from clients

    Yeah, AX at close range, trying to figure out if the router's the problem (fixable via settings), the environment or it's damaged hardware. @elp, I tried both with enabled and disabled. Which do you suggest I use?

    AX6000 1 to 2 meters proximity ping from clients

    Thanks. That's a bit more than the distance I'm using it from and same barriers, but it performs much worse for me. Are you on Merlin or stock firmware, and could you tell me with what firmware you had issues and which one solved your issues?

    AX6000 1 to 2 meters proximity ping from clients

    Yeah, I disabled AX, left only AC 20MHz to try lower the 5GHz band as much as possible. Didn't provide any measurable results. I tried lowering it to 20MHz 6 first, then went 80MHz AC, then lowered more, nothing happened regarding the ping issues. Also, to avoid pinging the router itself, tried...

    AX6000 1 to 2 meters proximity ping from clients

    Tried my AX58U again, unplugged from anything LAN related, WAN, etc. From this room through the wall where it was before, where the AX6000 is now, I get almost, slightly better results with smaller spikes. If I enter the room/hallway, I get 2-3ms constant, no spikes. AX6000 was turned off at...

    AX6000 1 to 2 meters proximity ping from clients

    No slider on W11. I've disabled all PCIE power savings in power settings. I've set up everything as drinkingbird said. Getting around 3ms avg, but there are spikes into 10-20ms at some points. Average is down to 3ms or 2ms, depending on... who knows what. As it's late now, I'm going to setup...
