Overview
A gaming den or a busy home office packed with consoles, PCs and streaming boxes is what this Asus ROG router targets. Four radio bands, including the six gigahertz band, split traffic, and two ten gig ports connect a fast NAS or workstation.
Two ten gig ports plus a separate multi-gig WAN give room for very fast wired links without a switch upgrade. The unit is large with many fixed antennas, so it needs a wide open shelf.
Who it's for
Enthusiast gamers and home lab owners who want low latency and fast wired links. Casual users browsing and streaming on a modest plan are paying for capacity they will not touch.
Pros and cons
- Four bands spread traffic
- Two ten gig ports
- Separate multi-gig WAN
- Lifetime internet security
- Very large footprint
- Many fixed antennas
- Overkill for small homes
- Six total wired ports
Performance notes
Spreading devices across four bands reduces congestion, and the six gigahertz band gives newer clients a clean lane. Wired throughput rests on the ten gig ports, which only matter with ten gig capable devices or plans. Real speed and coverage vary with building materials and traffic, as Asus notes.
