Different Speed Tests Results Between Routers AXE-16000 and GT-AX6000

@Lotta Cox Which firmware is the AXE16000 running? Would be interesting to see how it does with relatively similar 9.0.0.6.102_4856 which would also be ASUSwrt 5 if I'm not mistaken...

I had three different FW's. Latest stock, that 9006 beta and latest Merlin.

Can I use this on the AXE16000 for testing speeds?
Like set WAN the USB and test with 10G port out. Or the 2.5G port out?
Not sure if you can set that USB device as a LAN output port.
This is just for fun. I plan on using the GT6000 for a while. I can't do this for a day or two.

This is it plugged into the GT6000

Yes the USB can be used as a WAN. I have tried it as a Dual WAN Failover plus fallback before, and connected a cellphone. (Hopefully I understood your question. Whatever you can do with the AX6000 sans VLAN/Guest Network Pro, unless you use the 9.0.0.6 beta which is supposed to enable that).

BTW- I guess 2.4 GHz WiFi may make noise that interferes with USB 3.0 function/speed in return, but the top option shows up with a USB storage installed in my Deco BE95...

Thanks. I know I can change the WAN port on the 16000 to either 10G ports or the 2.5G.
If I use a 10G port as WAN, can I connect a PC to the 2.5 port? I am pretty sure I can.

Big internet outage today. Using my Pixel phone to USB tether to the 6000. Works great!

Yes I believe you can use the 2.5 G port as LAN. (Gotta love ASUS routers for their flexibility)...

I got 2Gb network today, on PC no problem there almost 2,5Gb speedtest. But on wifi 5Ghz, 6Ghz I can't get more than 700-800Mb on my Samsung S23 Ultra.

But I also noticed that I can't reach higher speed than 700Mb on 5Ghz on IPS router Nokia XS-2426G-B.


EDIT correction:
Everything is ok, didn't set to 160Mhz and corrected some channels. Now I have on 5Ghz and 6Ghz around 1500 down and up. And in router I run speedtest 2.5/2.5

Decided to get the AXE16000 another shot with the new 5Gb lan card an the NEW 3006 firmware
I gave a day to settle in before any testing. Much better now. Still a C hair slower than the GT6000. That is a non issue now. At least there are no sub 1Gps speeds at all like I was get with the Realtek USB 2.5Gb adapter.
WiFi speeds are great with the16000 on my AXE devices. So this is my preferred router now.

best speed so far through vpn wiregaurd using 6e asus 1100pro 1 gb down 100 up

I find fast.com works better for me if set like this with 30 connections and duration of 50 seconds.

The first two test in the Networx graph are fast.com. During that second test, it said my upload was 270Mbps. It was 370.
The last test is speed test.net. I wish speed test would allow more connections. It says multi but who how many that is.

I got the axe16000 yesterday and after few hours of tweaking and flashing merlin its pretty solid, I cant test the full potential of the WAN my ISP is 600mbps but i did connect at 2.5gbps and 10gbps to my switch, dual wan seems solid and so far so good
