ROG Rapture GT-AX6000 ai mesh

[zazabnr]

Hi Everyone,

I am upgrading my setup using 3 x ROG Rapture GT-AX6000, one as main router and two as ai mesh node running wireless backhaul.

I understand that ethernet backhaul is always more stable and faster but I just do not have the budget to do re-cabling for now.

My question is with wireless backhaul, should I run it under 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz?

Thanks guys

Upgrade to 3x RT-AX88U Pro instead. GT-AX6000 has firmware delays, RT-AX88U Pro has three Pro firmware releases already. Both are basically the same hardware.

Dual 2.5g or dual 10g router suggestion

Need a router suggestion for multiple devices , about 13 total wired and wireless . Needs to be cpu powerful and support 2g internet . Needs dual 2.5g ports or 10g if they work with 2.5g network cards in wired computers . Thanks don’t really have a budget also .

Are you running them using wireless backhaul or wired?

I don't run AiMesh. RT-AX88U Pro though is the newer model router and seems like is getting more love from Asus.

There is no need to upgrade. Even though the RT-AX88U Pro is the superior hardware. (if a purchase today was required).

Instead, use the excellent routers you have and upgrade to a wired backhaul instead.

Your network will be transformed. Particularly if your wireless nodes are currently heavily utilized.

You always want the fastest band, using the 2.4GHz Band will limit your throughput immensely.
