Anyone here has experience with Asus AX11000 gaming router?
Is the throughput and WiFi range any good for a simple home office networking use? What about durability/reliability, can last for 5-7 years, anyone can comment? |

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but would anyone here be so kind as to enlighten what's the big difference between the following AP (besides the obvious WiFi 5 vs WiFi 6):
- Ruckus R320 (WiFi 5 yet so much more exp) - Asus AX3000 (WiFi 6 yet cheaper) I'm asking because recently got a used Ruckus R320 (yet to set up) and not sure if AX3000 would be a worthwhile upgrade? It'd be shared with 2 households worth of devices btw... |

QUOTE(blacktubi @ Jan 5 2021, 09:05 PM) The RT-AX3000 or most consumer routers are no match against a decent Enterprise grade AP like the R320. The RT-AX3000 will only be faster at close distance due to WiFi 6. Wow, thanks so much for the response! Appreciate it much!But, an AP like this is designed to be ceiling-mounted. If you just put it on a surface, the performance will be reduced. However, bear in mind the R320 is just an AP unless you have the unleashed version. You'll still need another router as the DHCP server and etc.  Would it suffice to say that the R320 would definitely outperform the RT-AX3000 despite the rates for R320 is 867Mbps(ac) while the RT-AX3000 has got 1734Mbps (ac)/2402Mbps (ax) or it's to say R320 has better stability & coverage while the RT-AX3000 has better speed/performance? Then again these consumer gaming types probably have their specification hyped up a fair bit? |
