12:33 Just turning on port forwarding without some knowledge of what it does, and without a reason is a terrible idea, and can open up a big attack vector for your network.
"Yes mom! I really need this for my zoom class. Please buy it for me or I'll fail at school"
lol gets Wifi 7 router, only test Wifi 6e features. Why bother with a video
For people like you 2 click on it 😂
I own the router my self , combined 4 connetions to 1. had 8gbps in with 1x1gbps plus 3x2.5 5g connections.. pretty awesome
next step is to capilise and go beond 2x10gbps for netspeed in sweden
I live in Western Maine and for years it was a pipe dream to get anything faster than 14600 baud however fast forward to 2013 we got 256 /256 Kbps DSL, massive difference although pricey at almost 150 per month.
Now I'm at 2.5Gbps at $75 per month.
crazy...
I directed funds instead intro hiring an electrician to install numerous CAT8 cables throughout my home. Next I purchased multiple 10GB switches to support all those connections and 2 ASUS WIFI 6E AXE16000 setup as Mesh with 10GB backhaul. Final touches is purchasing multiple PoE switches to power multiple security cameras and a Synology NAS to record 24hrs/day. My PC is happy getting full 3.0 Gb/sec upload and download which is the max speed available in my area.
My Asus router can handle all this and the Wifi is basically just there to give my tablet and phone access to CZcams or Netflix. Otherwise a direct wired connection to me is preferred.
I spent so much money on so many different routers over the years and nothing beats a solid wired connection.
Alex, My ASUS ROG Rapture GT-
AXE11000. Would go in the bedroom and the newest version of this router would go in the living room. Would it be best to drill a hole in the wall and run a cable connecting the two in regards to Meshing ?
Yes, Wired always wins.
Connect your ethernet cable preferably a shielded cat 7 (so you rule out any other interference in your house) from your main new routers LAN port to your old routers WAN port.
AImesh should then auto detect best option for data transmission be it wired or wireless
It was cheaper for me to upgrade my internet speed to 1.5 gig rather then leave it at 1 gig. But my network was set for 1 gig max. Now I have fully upgraded every last part of my network besides the roughter. I'm pretty much stuck with this one now.. Because of the future proofing. I'll be fully setup for 10g after I buy this.
No vertical test , what about the floors above,lol that's how they make you fool.
Would like to see you use fibre optic on some of your setup ( patch cables, between switches, long runs ) seems not to exspensive, kit for terminating relatively cheap from Amazon. Obviously cant be used with POE, but would be a good comparison 👍
5:32 It is redundant to clarify why Wi-Fi 6E is only in the 6 GHz band.
Fellas always pushing the duffest gear
Titling the video WiFi 7 but only testing WiFi 6e?
And i know their internet speed is less than a gig, but WiFi 6e is faster than that. I get 1.5 Gbps from my ISP's free WiFi gateway on just WiFi 6e. A better test would have been to spin up a local iPerf server and connect up via 2.5Gb or 10Gb to remove the ISP bottlebeck.
Yeah, I’m on an 8 gig symetrical fibre plan. My new M3 MacBook has Wifi 6E but I only have an older ASUS Wifi 6 router and I get around 1100 mbit down.
This video was underwhelming as it doesn’t actually show off the speeds it’s capable of.
Wow, impressive. But doesnt your ISP reduce your speed?
Does it have enough antennas????
I think the big cost item on that router is the inbuilt 10G switch and 10G wan. That seems to have majorly increased the price
What about security features???
Waiting for you to get a racing sim one day :D would be so keen to see that series!
Still waiting on Microsoft and Intel to put the Wi-Fi7 standard out, until such time the Router works maximum as an Wi-Fi6E router as its 160Mhz only at max bandwidth versus Wi-Fi7 320 mhz. I love the Router, its massive and currently have it in Mesh with one of my older 'Spiders' RT-AX89X. Thus far not much difference with my ASUS AXE16000 router, speed wise and yes I do have Wi-Fi7 clients, laptop & Desktop with Intel BE200 cards. Nice video, keep it up and looking forward to your later test once WiFi7 standard is fully supported. 😇😇
It's not about speed the important thing is to get a lower ping !!
I'm not into gaming I need the lowest possible ping which helps me fast trade the stock market !!
Cable is my only way to go for now
He gets 700mbps into his house and the router magically gave him 900mbps. No, you get 900mbps into your house, and its guaranteed at 700mbps.
Yes, he's lying to show he's getting more than advertised when it's incorrect.
@@arshadjugon3770no. I have 750 plan and get 930. He isn't lying
@@captshadabyou just said the same thing
its a local speedtest
He used a wifi 5 router instead of a wifi 6 router to make the difference look greater. I'm sure he has a wifi 6 router but knows there's no major difference.
Why is the speed equals to Jio 5G network ?
Why is he lying 700mbps there is no internet package that does only that in the UK. So he probably is on 1 gig which is advertised in majority internet company as 900 mbps
5:20 Combined 5GHz different channel and 5Ghz-2 (Also in different channel range) along with 6Ghz ..With smart connect to combine network in one ..then use WiFi7 with MLO..
I WAAANA SEE!
was the camera flash/click transition on sale or something? jesus christ.
Waiting the wifi7 cards.. with linux's driver trouble
What a vid, testing wifi 6E on a wifi 6E phone with only 700mbps in 😂 let me know when you do some real testing on a wifi 7 device and have multi gig internet coming in. This video did nothing for me
imagine having that huge thing just sitting in your house, dang that thing is massive!!!
it can be wall mount?
Dude ASUS charging that much and still using the same basic boring features of the GT AX11000 I have already lmaooo. ASUS needs to step their game up.
Holy shit, that a big chungus router
One comment on the separate SSIDs for the different band networks - I prefer the same. If you have an apple device though and you whish it connects to the 6GHz band, you won't be able to find it. Apple devices, which support Wifi 6E require smart network to be setup (Same SSID for the three bands). So, bad apple, I won't comply and I will have my 3 separate band SSIDs and you go work on your 5Ghz band :D Also, go buy an intel BE200 M.2 wifi adapter, and test the WiFi7 itself! :)
can be wall mount?
That is no garden...pip pip pop pop!
That would benefit me with 3Gb/s down 3Gb/s upload 1ms ping but the price is too steep so going with the Xiaomi AX10000 I've had a Asus router before the AXE16000 good routers for wifi but their QoS feature sucks would be better to use Asus Merlin if you know what your doing. plus the Xiaomi AX10000 is built on OpenWRT which is great for QoS Feature least it works.
What about 5Ghz on the Asus, which is how most people will use it
If someone is spending £700 on a router, they won’t be buying it for the 5Ghz capability
@@Scott2k44 most devices still only receive 5Ghz. You'd need to upgrade everything to utilize the Wi-Fi 6e, and even here we see no Wi-Fi 7 products to test that out. Most products in the market are still topping out at WiFi 6 and lower.
What’s a rooter?
Americans ☕
Was wondering the same thing, its router not rooter....annoying! Wont be watching this dude anymore...
@@arnold3811 Americans ☕
@@arnold3811americans😢
@Techflow you able to get mlo connection?
is an access point the same as a mesh system?
No
@@Bawlk ok thanks
When will this router be WiFi 7 certified? Despite its impressive features and performance it is expensive. We should know it truly is future proof for WiFi 7.
it literallys says wifi 7 on the box...
@@winstone1080 It doesn’t mean it meets all the specifications of the WiFi 7 committee. I expect it will pass certification but not spending that much without knowing it is certified. A router can claim it is WiFi 7 without having all the features.
@@penultimatename6677 im sure its quite easy to search up the specifications and cross compare with the listed specs of the router? real life benchmarks have already been posted months ago, it shouldnt be difficult to figure it out for yourself. online reviews from top testers also have not talked about this as an issue, so i dont know how valid your claim is
Honest thoughts 😂😂😂😂 bruuuu really 😂😂😂
Thanks guys.
Rooter....lol
Combi device? You mean just a literal wireless router?
You want those antennas for directional beaming and it's a router not a rooter.
Access points also do directional beaming like Ubiquiti APs without looking so god awful lmao
British pronunciation is rooter, not your American accent
@@niceone1456 you're a rooster
try downloading warzone and show us the speed
not really, many games gives you additional latency to balance it.
Love the vid but damn that router takes some surface area. Its nearly the same size as that laptop.
more and more people are slowly learning mainstream of the shelf kit like this is complete junk its so unsecure its scary
What a waste of time and money.
HP NEXT, WHEN?? 🙏 Also test in the basement Cellar, would be interesting test..
why do you have those flash transitions? its really bad...
Bro plays games in - ping
Aaahhh yes a “roooterr”
Absolutely massive and ghastly looking. I just couldn’t do it because of that and went with the Netgear Nighthawk R700S
This router would help lower my pin in Warzone
No it won't. Ping is where you live. California is where cod is base. So you have to move there.
But why no sfp+ wan? what a shame...
Bruh it's a "gaming" router not a business router.
TP-link has a wifi 7 router with sfp+ if that's what your into
@@titantech6328 I'm not sure why you consider sfp a business feature, Every home here has a fiber optic connection from the ISP, nobody wants to have to buy another device just to convert it to ethernet.
this router came out with too many bugs. My 5ghz devices wouldn't work unless the 160hz is turned off. Kept dropping wireless connections, then it died, red link light now stays on. I put my Rapture GT-AX 11000 back, and now it is working fine. I won't buy Asus routers until they fix these problems. My old router works fine with 160hz on and I'm not losing connections. I sent it back for a refund. all this happened in just 2 weeks
RMA your router. You got a defective unit. It works perfectly fine now with the latest firmware update.
I purchased the this Router, For some reason the Internet speeds was below very average compared to my Asus AXE 11000, I ended returning this router I purchased the Nighthawk Tri-Band Rs700s Wifi 7 this router is a beast
Tplink one mesh 😊
is it as sh!t as the AX series which constantly drops wifi connections, better getting ubiquiti u7 pro and edge router x for half the price
This dude literally lies through this video lol
Prepare yourself for the built-in switch to fail just after warranty runs out.
Save yourself £600 and buy an ethernet switch and some cable and wire your house to have your devices wired.
How do I wire Firesticks? Security cameras? iPads?
@@Frameboy71 you can hardwire a fire stick but obviously not wireless security cameras.
My landlords don’t allow me to drill holes all over the house I’m renting. I think it would violate my lease…
*Promo SM* 🙋
Good Content 🫡
What a hideous looking router. Wife approval factor = 0.
Better get a new wife if she’s telling you what to buy 😂
true gamers aren't married
With this price i buy whole homelab with hardware firewall makes no sense of this device. Beside if the operating system isnt FOSS am not gonna trust whats happening behind the curtain.
First
The camera flash/click sound transition is really annoying man, this makes me unable to watch the video comfortably
Does it drive u to work and back...does it do ur daily grocery shopping...oh and doesnit pay your bills hmmm...
No sfp+ port disappointed
And still built on the 4.19 kernel. Yeah nah pass
I've seen you post about 4 of these gaming router videos. Just say you have no video ideas lmao
Roooter lol
That’s how we say it in the proper Queens English, not the bastardised yank rip off.
The fact I can get my full gigabit over WiFi with my eero 6 pro and near wired ping doesn't give me any insensitive to upgrade
lol eero the make that releases new firmware every week, and breaks stuff in the process. They’ve had to pull the latest update as it’s been breaking things.
@@marksapollo in the like year and half I had mine never had issue I'd rather that little thing than this at a fraction of the cost for most people WiFi 7 is not needed rushed out the standard
@@BEASTBOOST Im glad to know you have no idea what you are talking about, rushed out standard lol...
@@BEASTBOOST An Eero 10G router is not a fraction of the price. It's like 20% less... maybe, but that's only 1.
@@Frameboy71 I said eero 6 pro learn to read or don't reply to me
damn 700mbps that's it? lol. here in norcal you can choose 1gbps - 5gbps or 10gbps lol.
Yes California is probably the fastest Internet in the country. Most people can't even get 1gbps.
In Türkiye 1Gbps is 13$/month and 10Gbps is around 300$/month in my ISP.
8 Mbps = 1 MBps So,you're getting 100MBps 😅
No
It's way too expensive for what it is. It's a ROUTER... providing Wi-Fi for your home. So nothing justifies the price. And at that price it's definitely not for everyone. Been using ASUS all my life, but now it's time to change. Good hardware, way overpriced.
Same price as paying ur internet provider for 8-10months which im sure you have, and this you can take anywhere you want which you cant with internet provider. Plus once you have it you have it. You dont have to worry about internet provider changing prices and other stuff. Just saying. Also its way faster then what the guy actually showed
@@UnalloyedMars WTF are you going on about ? Your internet provider will charge you wetter you do or don't have an asus router. LOL .. They call their hardware the "modem" to be able to subscribe to their service. Wetter you use it as a router or as a bridge won't change the price. And travelling with that asus router is not an option . It 's way to big and way too heavy LOL There are other solutions for that, hence who would wanna travel with THAT?! No really the router is way overpriced and it's a gamechanger for a lot of people. Most of them switch to Ubiquity. Wonder why ... Asus is no longer "for all people" as the CEO mentioned in his video.
there are legitimate use cases for high end routers, just not for you.
It's a router that is faster than any other!
Whether you need that is up to you, Some of us do for certain things.
Yeah it's expensive but it's also future proof for the next decade thus the price isn't that bad, Also built in 10g and 2.5g ports can eliminate the need for the average joe household to go out and buy a 10g or 2.5 switch.
For those that already have at least a WIFI ^E router then this is probably not worth the upgrade, But if you have anything older then it's a once off purchase and you are good for 10 years, Each to their own.
@@UnalloyedMars bro wtf are you talking about? Did you have a stroke?
it's router not rooter.
"rooter" may be heard in certain dialects or accents within Britain.
the pausing slow and annoying kid is back with another roooter.
Bugger off. You’re not forced to watch 🙄🤦♂️
Separate SSID for each frequency band?? Worst advice ever!! Come on man… at least take advice from a qualified network engineer before making these “recommendations”
Right
