Review: this is the best device iv had for wifi - I got this to control multibe networks for my iot devices, kids network and primary network. To start the setup is easy and your up and running within 10 minutes usually but this is depending on the settings your ISP use. For what i needed it was great value for money and it is fast and handles crowded network signals really well in that there has not been a noticable performance hit over wifi. The device is regually recieves firmware updates and is still very much supported by Asus, the network segregation adds little to the security of the network but it does allow you to manage these seperate networks differently. It works well with older Asus mesh products but i did find the additional network ID's i had put in place did not play well with the older devices on older firmware. The feature i was interested in was the guest network pro which gave me the ability to control my kids network availability time but it also had limited support over older AI mesh devices. This is a top product for the price and the wifi speeds are as advertised for us but this will vary per household.
Review: Very Fast Router with a Wealth of Settings - ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX6000 The router comes well packed, with the router itself, aerials, and a power supply, a Cat6 cable and a quick start leaflet. One slightly disappointing issue is that there are only five lan ports. With a router this expensive I would expect eight. The finish is more like the RT-AX82U, in that it is not that expensive looking. Older routers certainly look and feel more impressive. This router is light and, well, dare I say it, very plastic. The legs don't light up and even the illuminated Asus logo really doesn't do it. Mine was unevenly lit and the effects not at all smooth. The aerials have red plastic inserts but they don't light up so I am not sure why they bothered. All in all it looks like a cheap router. Strange considering the gaming world is very particular about product looks. Strange coming from Asus too, they are normally produce good looking products. Plugging in you need to attempt to access the internet with a browser and you are immediately met with the Asus configuration page. You need to sort out some passwords so it’s advisable to have paper and pencil handy. The setup is remarkably good and is a really strong feature of the router. If you have owned an Asus router before then the user interface comes as no surprise. It has all the familiar options with a few new ones. Overall performance of the router is just staggering. It's very fast indeed. No complaints there! There are a wealth of options in the Asus including the new three step gaming acceleration. I have to say that I found this a little disappointing because it was involved setting it up. It is also very "Asus" oriented in that it boosts performance for Asus hardware and apps running on your PC. I couldn't even find where one of the apps downloaded from. This is very different to something like the DumaOS which is configured out of the box - ready to rock as they say - no configuration required. The Asus has more potential though as long as you don't mind spending time getting to know what it all does. One downside to the router is that nearly all of the advanced features need your consent to allow Trend to collect your data. That can even consist of emails. I am not sure what to think. On the one hand the performance is great, the flexibility is great, but the looks and ports are very meh for the price. Overall if you have a rubbish router at the moment then this is a great general purpose replacement but if you want an out of the box gaming router or if you are looking to upgrade an already good router then perhaps look elsewhere. The Asus is a lot to pay for not a lot of new features. As a general purpose router there is no doubt the Asus is excellent and now it is supported by Merlin which adds one star. Unfortunately the price really is a big negative with this router. Oh, and don't believe the "reduces ping by 90%". Unless you have a very specific problem, it's not going to solve anything. Recommended but over-priced and good grief Asus, do something about the looks!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beyond my expectations to go from WiFi 6 to WiFi 7
*by N***C on 30 December 2025*

Currently upgraded my 2 GT6 routers working in an AI Mesh setup over WiFi to 2 GS-BE18000 same setup! After the initial setup was completed on the app (quick and painless like usual) im currently getting stronger signals and my speed increase was beyond my expectations! I was mostly after 6Ghz band and the added MLO for WiFi 7 which are fantastic in there own ways! The speed increase i have seen between my 2 routers has gone from 200-300 Mbps to 600-800Mbps for me this increases has blown me away! To me this upgrade for reliability, stability, range and speeds for the price these routers are, is worth every penny!
