Title: Awesome router!
Review: This is the first time ive biught a router in this price range and so far it is working great! Full strength wifi all throughout my 1600sqft home with no deadzones. even if there was it has a feature to create a mesh network with another compatible router which is pretty cool. The set up it very simple just download the app connect and it pretty much doesnt the rest itself. It has a feature i tested that reduces game ping and so far im seeing on average 3-5 ms faster speeds qnd only at the press of a button. It also allows me to use the full bandwith of my Gig internet. So far i defintely would buy another if given the chance the value is great compared to cheaper options.

Title: ASUS ROG GT-AX6000 - Easy setup, Very good WiFi range but equal speed performance as ISP equipment
Review: I recently moved into an area that offered 1.2GB download speeds. I was using the service provider equipment at a cost of $25 additional per month. The equipment was an all in one modem+router which also had a 2.5g port. In an effort to save some money, I decided to purchase and invest in a new Router and Modem for the service. The caveat being that I will lose out on Unlimited data using my own equipment which was a risk I was willing to take. I bought the AX6000 to pair with a Arris S33 2.5g port Surfboard Modem as the AX6000 has a 2.5g port as well.The Asus AX6000 packaged arrived pristine with no physical damage. Setup - be very careful with the Antennas, I noticed that one my antennas for the router was not tightening properly, you have to ensure you can adjust without breaking the antenna. I noticed my antenna sounded like it was about to break as I was adjusting to access the bottom of the antenna to tighten. The process to get the Router up and running was a breeze, I used my sons Desktop PC hard wired into the 2.5G port and the browser recognized the router pretty quickly. Once my Arris S33 modem was activated, the router acquired the IP very quickly. At this point once I acquired the IP, I immediately did a speed test and....the speed remained the same as the ISP rental equipment. I did not lose out on speed; ISP equipment speedtest was 914GB down and 25up and with the Asus AX6000+Arris S33 was equally the same. I was hoping to at least get some increase in speed (this test was wired). I continued with my setup and began to open ports for my sons games. I noticed that the interface has port forwarding in two areas which was a bit confusing, I used the gaming section to port forward and i believe i have set it up correctly as i did not receive and conflict notification. Also, this is limited to a max of 38 ports. I am not sure what is the difference between the Gaming NAT section and the Port Forwarding section of the router and I found this to be confusing.WiFi Range seemed to be very good and I did see a slight improvement in range against the ISP rental Modem+Router. My laptop would struggle with zoom calls when i used it outside in my backyard, I did not test zoom with the new router in that area but i noticed the wifi status bar on my laptop improved. I have a number of devices that are on WiFi IoT's + Gaming Consoles. Xbox Series X download speeds are equally the same as the rental equipment and no decrease in speed or increase unfortunately.Overall I am happy with the Asus AX6000 but I was hoping for a bit of speed boost for 2.5G port. Even the dedicated gaming port did not improve this. I was going to give it 4 stars for that but so far it's remained stable with not decrease in performance so that will keep it at 5 stars for now.Bonus:In my previous location, I had 2 Asus AX-3000 routers which i kept, these were being used with AT&T's Modem in Passthrough. I decided to put these in Mesh Mode with the AX6000, this was extremely easy to do. I now have 1 AX3000 in my Laundry and 1 in the master bedroom. Devices seem to hop from the mesh without problem and I have increase range all throughout the home.

Title: Strongest wifi from a single router yet!
Review: Update 6/3/2022: There is now RMerlin firmware for us non-gamers that is the normal Asuswrt admin GUI UI for the GT-AX6000. No more garish red, black, and white UI colors, not to mention removing all those "gamer" settings that I don't need or want to see. Works just as well in its role as a wireless router with RMerlin firmware. Although, the new firmware doesn't make the router itself look any better *smile*, that teenage game enthusiast physical design is the gift that keeps on giving.====================================Very happy with the wireless performance of the GT-AX6000. Our internet speed tier is 500/500Mbps (fiber), provisioned at about 620/620Mbps. Typically see 580 - 600Mbps in our living room using my iPad Pro (wifi-6) with this router, all the way across our house from the router in the family room. Using the latest Asus firmware release, the GT-AX6000 has been stable and trouble-free. Great performance and stability, it's a keeper for me.Okay, now for the other things *smile*. The thing is huge, and looks like a cross between home plate and an alien spaceship. The antennas are humongous, color scheme of red and black is just a little garish. Looks like it was designed by an eighth-grader given carte blanche to design the most pseudo-modern thing that they could conceive of.The web admin interface is also garish with red and black all over the place, and is considerably harder to navigate than the regular (non-gaming) Asus web interface. Categories are refactored and spread out in the interface, making it less compact and decreasing usability. That eighth-grader had a blast with it. Anyways, I'm clearly not a gamer at heart, I just want the settings and information to be easily accessible, which the normal Asus interface is. Not this one. Asus could simply have taken their normal web interface and added a couple of gaming-oriented categories to it, but no, that would be too simple of an approach.So my overall assessment is that this router is great for what you want a router to do. On the other hand, secondarily for me, the appearance of it and the appearance and usability of the web admin interface leave a lot to be desired. I suppose I'm getting used to it, but it'll be an eyesore for as long as I keep it.

Title: Overall very good, but pricy.
Review: Everything you want from Wi-Fi 6 with best hardware Asus could offer.Exceptional performance, great stability, it could eat up all my apartment's bandwidth which is 800mbps.I'm sure it can do better, but that's the limit for me.It's well designed. It's big in size. It come with a scary price tag too.In 2024 a router of Wi-Fi 6 not 6e shouldn't be this pricy, thus, 4 stars from me.
