ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 Wi-Fi 6 IEEE 802.11ax Ethernet Wireless Router - 2.40 GHz ISM Band - 5 GHz UNII Band - 8 x Antenna(8 x External) - 1.34 GB/s Wireless Speed - USB - 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet -

Beautiful looking spider machine Was able to go from an asus ac1900 to this one and doubled the speed on wifi. The user interface is slick and fast and much more responsive than any other router interface i have ever used. I can get sustained speed everywhere in a 3 story home,so the router is no slacker The reason for not enough stars is this: running into some issues with the 6ghz band. I do have a ax210ngw on the desktop but it's not detecting the 6ghz band. So need more investigation on cause of this. Its hard to investigate the cause other than getting another wifi 6e client which are by far few. Maybe I'll snag my friends samsung s21 in a couple of days and will be able to actually test it on 6ghz ----Edit---- Update 2/5/2020 On a 1Gbps line, I can consistently get about 700-800 Mbps 3 story up (router is on the basement) on a DFS channel for an AX device. AC devices are no slouches either and now top at 500-600 Mbps 3 story up. On non-DFS channels I top around 450-550 Mbps so that is not bad either. Guess I don't need to buy a Mesh network! AX210 doesn't work on windows. Found a thread on intel forums that it might need a windows update later on for activating 6ghz (thread name: Intel AX210 can't create 6GHz hotspot ). Also found that linux 5.11 should support 6Ghz so tried it out with Ubuntu and 5.11rc6. Unfortunately though the AP is detected connection fails so I guess its more wait and watch with linux too. Atleast the Ax210 saw the 6ghz AP. So yay my device is not broken. And my friend bought a regular S21 so that testing avenue is gone for the time being. Edit Nov 2021 6Ghz band works great on a Pixel 6 Pro. The range is shorter than the 5Ghz band and the phone shows lower signal strength but the 6ghz bandwidth speed in my house is usually more than what I get with the 5Ghz Other than that,the perfect router. I use remote desktop from my top story laptop to my computer in the basement and use Zoom video and audio and both latency and bandwidth are great enough that I can use Zoom effectively. love the router!

Update 13 July 2023: Another recent cabling upgrade by our ISP in our neighborhood. ASUS ROG GT-AXE11000 wins again‼️ Should be (Plan)/Actual Speeds Achieved 🛜 Download: 500 MBPS / 601.64 MBPS 🛜 Upload: 10 MBPS / 53.17 MBPS 🟧 This ☝️ is the highest speed I tested afterwards — 601.64 MBPS download‼️ 🟩 Last upgrade was 1.25 years ago from 150 MBPS up to 250 MBPS (3/16/2022), & we were pulling close to 300 MBPS, on average, consistently. 🚫 No price change for us for these upgrades. —— Update: 03/16/2022: My ISP just bumped my Data Plan up by ⅓ from 150 MBPS to 250 MBPS for FREE (Same $ for plan). First good thing they’ve done in a LONG time. Originally, I reported speeds improved achieving 180 MBPS consistently, & now hitting 288-299 MBPS since they upgraded lines (still <1 week in) in my neighborhood. Proud to report (so far) NO ISSUES with the GT-AXE11000 Router failing as many saw when pushing speeds near or over 1 - 1.2 GBPS or over 100 wifi clients on a residential router. I still LOVE this thing. Still 1 month shy of 6-months where some owners reported CPU in their router checked out (multiple ASUS models) & lost significant speed performance. If that happens, I will update this “update.” I do NOT regret buying this at $550 even though WIFI6E is still effectively “DOA” (limited devices still at the end of Q1 2022). WIFI 7 may come out 1st at this rate (Target was/is 2025?). ———— Original Review for Amazon for ASUS Router AXE11000 Note: Be sure to verify any reviews you read HERE apply to the router YOU want. Many reviews here are for various ASUS routers: AXE11000, AX11000, AX6000, etc. This review is for their AXE11000, which came out to market in Feb 2021. Purchase Date: 09/13/2021, online & configured 09/21/2021; long-term performance to be determined. I recently upgraded from a D-Link DIR-890L/R bought in 2015. It is ridiculous that support ends in 4 years & obsolete by the 5th (I digress). This top of the line router was $350 in 2015, now flagship routers cost like this ASUS $550 or more. Expensive? Yes! Worth it? YES!! The thing I most despised about it (old one), & 95% of all routers on the market for home networks, is they are most or all auto-configured with little manual customization available, or none at all. You WON’T have that issue with the ASUS GT-AXE11000!! I saw many reviews “ding it” for supporting 6E but the market is extremely limited in 6E Tech even now. I’ve been wanting this ASUS Router since I saw the preview announcements back in 2020. Here is why I love it & you will as well. 1. Supports 6E despite market is still not ready with 6E NIC’s or other devices. Give it time. This was the 1st router that supported 6e—of course it wasn’t ready when launched back in Feb 2021 – duh?! An ASUS firmware fix will make all well with 6e soon. Hopefully the market will offer more 6e devices in the next 6 months (semiconductor shortage makes that not likely)!! That is NOT ASUS’ fault (6e market or silicon chip shortage). 2. Every setting practically is manually configurable if you wish or you can get most settings automatically configured if not a Tech person. I am, so I LOVE it. 3. AI Protection Pro — You get Lifetime AI Protection against spyware, adware, & ransomware updates from the Internet that get pulled by your devices via YOUR router & modem. Again, MOST routers on the market have no protection built in, much less free, with lifetime updates! My wife’s work computer has seen multiple malicious programs attempt access that this feature stopped from infecting either her computer or spreading onto router or our other home network devices. We sent the reports to her employer’s IT Team to investigate. 4. WiFi Radar — Instead of paying an additional $500 or more for a Network (SSID) Analyzer Program or Subscription for Wireless Channel Stats, & Site Survey, this feature set is included for FREE! You don’t need other programs to see what channel your neighbors chose for 2.4G, 5G or 6G & the interference you may get competing on those busy channels from neighboring devices. You also can create reports by scanning as often as you like. This alone makes the $550 Router a real bargain. IT Network people tell users to choose, for example: Channel 1, 6, or 11 for their center channel using 2.5 GHz. The problem is everyone knows this as they have heard this same counsel for over a decade!! Your neighbors know this too. Guess which are the busiest channels in 2021 (at least in my hood)? 5. Traffic Analyzer — tells you which Top 5 devices (& programs or service—like streaming on device) are MOST responsible for data downloads & graphs it. For example, when my son is home from college during the summer, we easily exceed 100 GB of data per day downloaded between him & us working, gaming, or streaming from home. My ISP charges & throttles if you go over your allocation based on monthly use. This feature makes it easy to KNOW 100% which devices are the culprit & specific activities or program most responsible on it. My son is a gamer like I am, but we regularly hit 30-35 GB/day when he isn’t home. We had to assume it was his PC Gaming that was the issue (he was downloading too much or in a dead zone even with a WiFi booster). We didn’t definitively know, but NOW WE DO!! I love this too. If you want a manually configurable router with tons of settings (95% of what is out there doesn’t support it to this degree for home users), & all the benefits above included, then get this already. The streaming & gaming quality & speeds we do in my home (I tested) are improved over my last router. Consistently reaches 10-50 MBPS more for download speed than an AC3200 router. If this is what you are looking for as well, then this is for you! My ISP frequently has downtime issues in my neighborhood so download speeds varied from 60-180 MBPS using my old router over this past year. Now, 180 MBPS consistently unless ISP goes down. Those of you who have better internet packages should see a proportional dramatic improvement as I did for mine. Have had no issues since installing & configuring it. Have I said I LOVE my ASUS ROG GT-AXE11000? (We have 35 client devices — 16-20 of those are active daily too, ranging from PC’s, MacBook, iPhones, iPad, AppleTV’s, gaming consoles (plural), and so on with no connectivity issues). My old router required daily reboot or suffered degraded performance when video conferencing. The new router I reboot 2x a week per auto schedule. Again, flawless so far.

When I read the reviews before buying, I noticed you either get a good one, or one that will likely have issues, so the best advice I can offer is try it out and monitor its performance before any return window expires. I first bought this model from a deal with a different vendor, and sure enough, that one had real issues, so I returned it and got this one from Amazon. From the reviews, it appears people who engage the asus customer support are the most thrilled with them, so that's why I suggest the approach above. I have no experience with asus support, so I can't comment further on experiences going that route. So back to the router: PROS: + Signal Strength: wow, great strong signal that goes the distance (see tip below for even more signal). + Easy Setup: granted, I've had years of experience with routers, but this one is easy to setup and use. + Marketed as a "gamer" router. Why is this a plus? Gamers demand performance. (You want performance too) + Lots of bandwidth / throughput + You can disable all lights on it. Yes, not all of us buy a router to serve as a disco ball at dance parties. + You can enable all sorts of lights on it. (Some people really like fancy lights. This one has them if you want them.) + Flexibility with guest or alternative wifi networks. You can have 3 x 2.4 Ghz networks, 3 x 5 Ghz networks and 3 x 6 Ghz networks. Each can have their own authentication method, network key, time-based access control, and choice of whether or not that network can access the Intranet (your main network). So this means you can give your visitors, say, a 6 Ghz wifi access to the internet, but they can't see or connect to any of your personal computers, servers, nas, or other devices on your personal network. + Many other features that I don't currently use, but predict others would find very useful, including VPN support, Alexa support and IFTTT support. CONS: - yes, at over a foot square and about 7 inches tall boasting 8 antennae, well, you are not likely call it unobtrusive, cute, or compact. - a little pricier than many other choices in the market. (but clearly I think it's worth it.) Extra tip for even more wifi coverage: if you happen to be upgrading from a previous-model ASUS, instead of tossing your old router in a landfill (egads, please don't do that!) or putting it in e-waste recycling (better)... check first if your old model can work as a MESH access point with this model. If it can, it's a surprisingly easy (and free) way to set up a mesh network where you live, for even more coverage. Super cool!

Its a router. However, there are a number of issues with its interface and the capabilities it allows you to configure at the same time. When several devices are using the wifi at the same time, playing FB games or streaming on random apps, the wired machines, which you would expect to have higher network reliability, struggle and suffer severely from an unstable connection. When trying to configure QoS to boost the priority of the wired devices in order to alleviate this, the software restricts the other QoS settings to only automatic mode, which disables all bandwidth allowances you have previously set up for all wireless and other network devices, meaning these two features are wholly conflicting and unusable together where other routers have no issue. The traffic type prioritization on auto mode is opaque and nonadjustable, and when it is configured, the wireless management of the router becomes slow and unresponsive. Parental controls and AI protections do not gleam what each checkbox or category means, each of which have blurry definitions and network filtering segregation, making this feature much less effective on devices used by children middle-aged or elderly who do not use a VPN. The firewall only allows a small set of domain name filter matches, making it nearly impossible, and even when configured correctly it is not reliable, to block advertising tracking and malware domains using this feature that made it past the AI, parental, adguard DNS, and on-end-device blocking systems which were configured. There are also a number of issues with having many/most of the useful protections enabled but withdrawing consent for private data, meaning that if you want to use most or any of the primary features on the router, you have to opt-in to their services and submit your router's activity to the cloud. When using Guest Networks in order to allow random users or untrusted family members' devices onto the inner management sector of the WiFi, the primary unrestricted wireless networks for the 2.4, 5, and ~6GHz (doesn't even work at the same time as the others) channels are still on in the background without broadcasting SSID. There is no way to disable these interfaces, restrict their bandwidth or adjust their priority, or limit what internal management access they have with the firmware or upstream modem/bridge device. Adding the necessary guest networks makes the router much less stable and speedy, reducing the overall benefit of buying this router altogether. I had a lot of hopes when buying this for around $400+, that it would be able to be configured for the range of systems I needed it for, but instead, the experience with it has been far from exemplary, and I have had to totally reset the router half a dozen times due to corruption and software malfunction over the period I've had it for. There are few to no updates released for this router as of writing, including beta update channels, and the issues have not gone away. I don't think I will ever buy another Asus router in the future, unless these usability and stability problems are addressed, but it is unlikely they will. (Will edit in future if this changes) 2025 Update: It is still a terrible router. A dot used in an explicit input field has bricked it. Its a shame this thing is too expensive to set on fire.

I had the same issue as another reviewer where I had to setup the initial internet using the 1gig WAN port. The 2.5gig WAN port does not work initially. Another issue I ran into was that the first administration login screen was in Chinese. I had to guess what fields were what and it didn't allow me to change the language until actually logging in. That said, the first thing I did once the internet was working was to update to the latest firmware. I see that other reviewers have not mentioned that, but I assume they did that (or they shouldn't be complaining). The Axe improved my wireless network greatly in the 5ghz band. I was using an rt-ac66u back from 2013 and so its not a surprise that it doubled my bandwidth and improved the connection quality of the devices. I have all my smart plugs and vacuums running off of it. I turned on the Adaptive QOS and Game Boost (packet prioritization) and it seems to be doing its job with family over. You can even enable Alexa to turn on/off your guest network (kind of pointless though). The 2.4 ghz band does leave something to be desired though. My ring door bell which is about 45 ft away only gets two bars. Speedtest was done with connection through cat6 cable from pc to Axe Router. I haven't tried the 6 ghz band as there aren't a lot of devices yet that I can use. I'm leaving my review at 4 out of 5 only because of the initial setup issues and the iffy 2.4ghz. I'm sure these will be corrected later with more firmware updates.

Pros: Signal strength: Extremely powerful with impressive range, easily covering large areas of the home with WiFi 6 speed and reliability Ease of setup: Setup was straightforward with the ASUS app walking you through each step Control: Excellent control over network settings, devices, and priorities — great for managing a gaming household App quality: The ASUS router app is intuitive and makes it easy to monitor and adjust your network on the go Instructions: Clear documentation and guides make configuration simple even for advanced features like mesh and port settings Support: ASUS has solid support resources available if you run into any questions during setup Multiple ethernet ports make it easy to hardwire devices for the lowest possible latency Works great as part of a WiFi mesh setup for seamless whole-home coverage Cons: The physical size is substantial — this is a large router that needs dedicated space Overall: If you have a large home and want a router built for serious gaming, the ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 delivers on every front.

Whether you need a new router or you dont...If you are not using one of these routers you are not getting your full ISP prrovided connectivity. I have a 1GB plan and my RT-AC88U would not go past 450mbps on a good day. Switched to this BAD BOY and now Im getting 980mbps without making any changes to my modem or service. Set up is a breeze if you already have an Asus router all you need to do is back up your configs, and then upload to GT. I am still tinkering with all the features of the router but feel right at home because the GUI is sameish / similar to my RT router I already had, which is now a NODE...Awesome ASUS keep doing what you are doing. For any one doubting if this Router is worth the price, Doubt no more! This thing is a beast and best router Ive ever owned. The 6EGhz is great but for some odd reason find myself getting better performance on my Desktop than on my phone at times. Desktop gets in the 700 - 800mbps while my phone is getting only about 300Mbps when not in the same room, but while in the same room (as GT router) Im getting 1.3gb on a Samsung Galaxy S22+ so Its just a distance thing and how many walls are in the way. Im giving this router 5 out of 5 stars because of ease of setup and the fact that I was still able to use my old ASUS router as a Node via AiMesh mode. Now my house is getting Enterprise level performance and have 0 regrets on spending the money this router cost. Judging that the RT-AC88U still sell for about $300 - $400 paying approx. the same for the GT-AXE1100 was a no brainer. Wait for a deal if you can’t afford it at $400 or more and get it while you can because you will not be disappointed! I'll report back after a few months of use to see if I still feel the same, but after just one day of use Im totally satisfied with this product and for Amazon delivery in one day!! Oh and Last thing I'll leave you all with, Make sure to manually select the 2.5GB port as your main port for your Modem’s ISP connection, adds a bit more boost to your speeds connection performance.

The Asus Axe11000 is a Beautiful amazing peace of Technology, The Setup of the router was very easy, I have the Axe11000 connected to my Old Asus Ax11000 router via the 2.5g lan to the 2.5g wan on the Axe11000 with no issues at all, the wireless settings are in Smart Connect mode with all Wireless bands Sharing the same Ssid ,the 6gig WiFi 6e connects to my Samsung galaxy s21 ultra at 2.4gig and higher speeds on non 6e channed is around 1.9g and steady, one thing that you should know is that The 6g WiFi 6e uses Wpa 3 security settings and the other bands don't, overall no issues with the the 6g bandwidth and WiFi 6e my laptop which has a ax200 wifi card connects perfectly fine no issues, I do have a new Intel ax210 wifi 6e card on the way and don't expect any other issues, I will update this post as time goes on, but I have to say that Asus pulled out all the stops with this model thermal Design is amazing and the attached antennas are Real Antennas not cheap plastic ones and I look forward to seeing how Asus improves the Router with new Firmware. Some people who say that they can't connect to the internet using the 2.5g port I had it connected to the router before I started the Setup and I also used the Asus Mobile app to setup the Router and not a pc connected to any lan or Wan ports, Update as of a few days of Use wifi 6e works best with Smart Connect mode off ,and my Laptop which has the new WiFi 6e card connects at over Gigabit speeds ,As Asus release more Firmware updates for this model I believe that all major bugs will be fixed by the updates,,2/21/21 Update some users are having issues with WiFi 6g bandwidth, Try removing the Router from your network settings and then check if you have The Latest Intel Wireless driver, this usually fixes the problem,Update Use the ASUS Mobile APP To SETUP the Router!! Update since I've had some time to Test out all the features and my S21 ultra and wifi 6e laptops connect perfectly fine with excellent wifi speeds, not sure why so many people are having issues with the Router and Asus customer service is 100 percent available on Twitter and also using the Feedback option on the Asus mobile app!@

It’s overkill (and expansive) for my personal usage but I particularly like the application to leverage the usb drive and reduce the ping for games. The wifi coverage is just amazing. The signal stay full bars everywhere in my cottage house and everywhere in the yard.

Good Wi-Fi router. The signal reaches good distance, but the connection is not stable when you are far from the router.

the router is huge, otherwise the rest works as expected

From easy installation to speed of WiFi signal and deliver full Internet speed to my devices, it had one problem I was not able to solve. Wifi6e was a waste bandwidth as no device could connect to it. My Samsung s23 and my tablets had wifi6e connection capabilities but never worked until I got Asus Rog Ally. It called itself gaming router but always I get dropped from gaming servers. So this is my experience with this device and I have seen many people suffer from same issues. I did purchase the next high end asus ax16000 .. and all my issues is gone ..

no me da la cobertura wifi que necesito
