Funnily, the RT-AX89X worked for me in terms of getting close to ISP-advertised wired speeds with AiProtection enabled. The AXE16000s gave me barely a quarter of those wired speeds with the same function turned on. Seems to be a NAT/CPU problem on that router according to Merlin. So I returned them. After complaining to Asus about this, they told me their development team was were working with TrendMicro to come up with a workaround for that.

Honestly, the RT-AX89X is close to perfection.. but sadly close to and perfect seem to have a rather wide rift ;-;

Thanks. The RT-AX98X seems to be the only consumer all-in-one router that works relatively well with my fiber broadband at the moment. The AXE16000s were a bust...There's TP-Link's AXE300, but it has the same Broadcom quad-core CPU as the AXE16000 so that's probably going to run into the same issues I've encountered before...

I feel the same. If I can figure out the spontaneous reboots, I expect to keep mine for at least 3 or 4 years

Rebooted again after two days. Log was cleared when it came back.
I reached out to the networking team for ASUS.. if I actually get a response I'll tell you and maybe they will help you to. I wonder if the email address I found is even still alive but it hasn't bounced back yet..
 
I appreciate it. Trying to figure out what to do. Worried that if I send it back, they'll run it a day or two, nothing will happen and they'll simply return it.
 
Someone from asus gave me this firmware RT-AX89U_9.0.0.4_386_50515-g85d285d_for_customer.trx you can try to get if from them through the feedback on the router
 
Honestly I don't know. I just told him that I had issues with a node connected the router and it would no give internet when devices would connect to the node so he emailed me a day after we got that new firmware and he told me try this firmware so far seems pretty stable https://www.asuswebstorage.com/navigate/a/#/s/E2949813A1B84DD0A4762DE5E04E22B04
Did you email the network_support@asus.com email or some other thing? Cause their front-line support basically was incredibly unhelpful.
 
No guts, no glory! Seriously, I'm ready to switch out the router anyhow so I installed it. Works fine and nothing obviously fishy. Too early to tell if it resolved anything but it didn't brick it...

o-o I threw it on there and when it was flashing I read the file name again and saw it said AX89U instead of 89X and almost had a heart attack but it took it anyways lol
