[Review] ASUS GT-AX6000 vs RT-AX88U Pro vs RT-AX86U Pro

[jasz]

Nice reviews, but as Tech9 noted, the results vary among the different reviews that were conducted. The one thing that seems to be consistent in terms of performance is that the AX86U Pro 2.4 GHz band does not do as well as the other routers at long range.

General MIMO 3x3>4x4.

6710 also piggy backs off main CPU. 6715 has its own internal processing.

This band is mostly used for IoTs, most are 1-stream 802.11n and with low bandwidth requirements. In real life - it doesn't matter much.

My cabin has no cellular service, so I use the 2.4 GHz band to get the most walking range for my phones. I imagine this is the case for some other people in rural environments. I only have room for the ASUS upright form factor, so I went with the RT-AX86U pro. However, if I had known it clearly performs worse than the GT-AX6000 or the RT-AX88U Pro, I would have tried harder to make one of those fit in the router installation locations.

You may get different results in your specific Wi-Fi environment. It was never tested in a RF isolated chamber, but in someone else's environment and perhaps in a different region. It was also never tested with now available 3.0.0.6 firmware - the routers it was compared to were running at the time.

Would that made a difference in range for the ax86u pro

Sorry, this is an old thread and I had to review the conversation first. What is perceived as range is mostly defined by the clients. Folks with exactly the same model router in different regions, environments and with different clients will report different experience. Your question (?) has no answer.
