Ax3000 vs ax56u in term of performance got anything much?
Price also diff

got, but samaada you benefited from it is another cerita

Ax56u got wifi 6 and mesh. The other is old 1.

Care to explain?
Im thinking of getting the ax56u but hope not make bad decision cause only buying it as yesterday unifi problem

Someone suggested ax3000 but actually that one over budget already...

But of course hands itchy

What say you
Thanks

But getting 56u not severely bad?

What you mean and the other is old one refer to ax3000 ya?

nope..

both got wifi6 and aimesh

theoretically ax3000 have better bandwidth on 5Ghz band.

But will this severely affects 56u?
Am I missing a lot if din buy ax3000? Thanks

AX3000 support up to 160MHz channel (dunno which device can use)

AX56U support up to 80MHz

AX3000 got more bandwidth on 5ghz which is theoritical up to 2402mbps while AX56U only up to 1201mbps...

depend on your device and how much connected to devices to router...

i using ax3000 and now easily can get 800mbps for my laptop (change to wifi 6 card) and my iphone12 pro max...

not really unless you're power user

Ax56u maxed out at 520mbps only while ax3000 800mbps

if teddy have 800Mbps internut..then he should go for ax82u instead

I read wrong. I tot was au3000

No i jest have 300mbps ni

But im sti using rt-n12 d or something hahaha

So how

What if im just have 300mbps plan???
Is this mhz and all you mentioned will affect it?

Many user use ax3000.

Less user like mine i use 56u.

if budget allows, ax3000

dont cheapskate on wifi router

6xx for ax3000
4xx for 56u

I saw got 4xx on ax3000 on lazada.
Donno legit seller or not.

What are your devices?

Why? What you mean
Better or?

I know but im not sure can afford or not
So thats why asking will lose a lot or not if buy 56u

2 phones, 2 laptops, 1 pc, 1 hypptv atm

i purchased ax86u, to solve issues of my wifi went down when 2-4 device do concurrent video concall (wfh+online school) on my ax56u

it was way overbudget, but the best decision i ever made.

ax56u now serves as aimesh member to extend 5Ghz coverage

If you foreveralone and pretty much the only user in your home the cheaper one will do.

Im from tmnet stock dlink 850l to ax56u.
Got feel a big leap.

your explanation is as good as teda.
but experience wise when buying new router, get the most featured you can buy now if you gonna upgrade.
by the way what is your current issue with your router

that shitty black cylinder kenot pakai one..haha

ax56u (or tplink ax20) really good starter to feel what real wifi router feels like.

Like pikachu said if can go ax3000 or else 56u.
Cause my house only few ppl use then i take 56u for reason. You can try tp link cheaper option but almost same.

Totally agree on this.
Felt like much more stable compare the black cylinder.
Speed test black cylinder go so many jitter on speed.
Can see updown updown on test.
22ms tested on off peaktime

Asus straight line no fucked.
3ms tested after update firmware

Both to same tmnut server

Ts if you want top up rm200 get the better 1.

It is old and aging

Im still using rt-n12d from 6-7 years ago
I dont have 5hz or what also lol

its 5Ghz

learn this if u want to get full 300Mbps (aka 30MBps dl speed) of ur unifi speed.

This post has been edited by pikacu: Dec 19 2020, 05:47 PM

Ax3000 paired with wifi 6 pcie adapter really good result for my Time 500mbps subscription. Getting around 500-580mbps when doing fast.com speedtest

If you're living in a condo unit <1.2k sq ft, the AX56U will be fine.

If 2 storey house, AX3000 will be the minimum you will need for decent internet connection. To get good connection, +1 mesh node will required.

This post has been edited by laksamana: Dec 19 2020, 06:01 PM

if you can affort the ax3000 then buy it, else the ax56u
both are way better than what you currently have.
most router you buy will be better than the n12d

I living in semi d. 56u also can cover till my toilet. So not bad. Hahahaha.

rt-ax56u: 2.4Ghz 2x2:2 5Ghz 2x2:2 @80Mhz, no 160Mhz support
rt-ax58u: 2.4Ghz 2x2:2 5Ghz 2x4 @80Mhz and @160Mhz
rt-ax3000 is another name of rt-ax58u
rt-ax88u: 2.5Ghz 4x4:4 5Ghz 4x4:4 @160Mhz

Agreed..ax3000 as main & ac86u as aimesh

I have ASUS AX11000 as main router and AX56U as mesh node. Gooding.
Then again, I have A LOT of devices that connects to them..

7 xiaomi cctvs, 10 smart plugs, 6 smart light bulbs, 4 Google Nests, 2 Smart IRs, 2 Smart TVs, 2 PCs, 2 Laptops, 1 android box, several Hps...

So... ask yourself... what is your need?

if only for gaming and a few other devices... just get the Asus RT-AX55 AX1800 if you prefer Asus brand... otherwise TP-Link got AX1500 at around RM250+/-...

I'm in a semi-d (3 storey), main router AX86U + AX3000 and AX55 acting as mesh nodes, 1 router per floor, weakest 5 GHz signal will be around -60 db

Chances are you may be a getting only a weak signal in the toilet with 1 x 56U even on 2.4 GHz

Adding 1 cheap router as mesh node will make a big difference

ax3000

anyway im using AX82U

Tumpah question. How to know my router running 5 or 2.4
Cause i saw default page i got both on but i dont have choices to link 5ghz. Or the router auto switch between?

What is wifi 6 pcie adapter?
Oh you slot it in pc??

Ya i jest checked at all IT
Ax3000 is rm756 wow so exp
But haiz wish can get it cheaper
I think maybe end year sale???

Wow din know router is a serious business ya

But seems exp

Im double storey
Even using the old n12d also seems ok

Hahaha
Thats why thinking if 56u suffice

This post has been edited by Teddysaur: Dec 19 2020, 07:35 PM

Auto switch with SmartConnect but you have to tweak the signal/bandwith value for nice failover.

Latest stock firmware is having random reboot issue now. Merlin works fine.

This post has been edited by kingkingyyk: Dec 19 2020, 07:37 PM

No wonder tq.
I saw they got auto switch but no either 1. For now internet much more stable before using that black cylinder.

Now i even can set dns, and lesser ads compare with the black cylinder.

My black cylinder went back into it's box the first day.

Anyhow the AX56U 2.4GHz is weaker than my old N18U. (it was a flagship router after all)

This post has been edited by kingkingyyk: Dec 19 2020, 07:42 PM

Lmao. My black cylinder used almost 3 years. Just changed.

Don't ignore TP-Link.

They got some very good AX routers too and waay cheaper than ASUS.

I've used TP-Link routers for years before (C5400X router was my main router before I upgrade to AX wifi 6, changed to ASUS to give it a try)

If you want TP-Link AX3000, you can get it at around RM300 vs ASUS AX3000 which is around RM700 (that is over twice the price compared to TP-Link's offering)

See here:

Damm....
Almost want to grab that ax3000 while i was in lowyat just now.
Not sure my current ac68u start to have problem or the tplink maxshit give me problem.
And....no shit ac68u still expensive as fucukyeemai.

If your issue is coverage, then get a proper Mesh WIFI system.

but for Wifi 6 Mesh WIFI system, its not going to be cheap...

eg: https://shopee.com.my/TP-Link-Deco-X20-AX18...4247.7430079046

My main router for around 6 years was the AC68U

It's still usable, but I just swapped it (as a mesh node) with the crapp AX55 I bought on 12.12

In truth, the AC68U is still a very capable router, and the overall performance seems better than AX55

If not mistaken, AC68U is still selling for around 450-500

Used 2 TP-Links and ....
- They will come with a model name and change the hardware in it over time without telling. Only version is mentioned in the sticker.
- Firmware update is pretty non-existence.

Went Asus and no looking back.

How much the ax3000 you saw at lowyat?

There is 2 version i saw in viewnet.
1 is about rm700 and another 1 about rm800.
I have no idea why the one more expensive about rm100 than the another. The info written at the both box look same to me.

Wow viewnet so exp ya

But all it more exp

I called them asked

They said got two variants

One is gaming one is not

Gaming got tuf infront
Basic got rt infront

Basic cheaper than gaming somehow
The prices quoted for me from all it are 756 for basic 8xx for gaming

I saw the price tag for 2 ac68u about rm985.
Before i bought asus, my house have alot of wifi dead spot as the router (tplink and dlink) is place on the 1st floor. Using wifi extender also cant solve it.
Lastly bought the asus ac68u and all this deadspot dissappear.
I also impressed as the wifi signal can even reach outside my house gate.

Topup a bit, get TUF-AX3000.

On specs, it’s a clone brother to AX3000 (which is modelled as AX58u).

On the internal, it’s a clone to the hai keras AX82u.

So if you manage to softmod it (TUF-AX3000) one day, you can technically unlock it to AX82u for free.

Ooo....
Thanks for this info.
Will make sure i buy the gaming version

If you buy from All IT (esp the KLCC outlet), the AX3000 will be expensive

Order from Viewnet or Oookas during sales, there will be some discounting

The TUF gaming version has the same specs as the basic + a dedicated gaming port + some gaming customizations in the BIOS

I def bought my AX3000 for <700 around 5 months ago

If you consider TP-link, then might as well consider Hualaowei AX3 Pro, similar performance like Tp-link but much better supports on firmware/UI/app and also easy to do mesh (wired or wireless).

At first I also thought Asus so expensive ridiculous bangsawan pricing. But after I got myself TUF-AX3000 (for cheap during 11.11, RM46X), it does have its appeal as bangsawan brand for router, so much more playability and customisable/finetuning settings.

This is new to me ....

I thought the AX82U would be closer to AX86U, since both have 4x4 5GHz MIMO capability, as compared to the TUF AX3000 which only has 2x2 MIMO

Trust me, there is a HUGE HUGE difference between the performance of AX3000 vs the Asus AX8-series ......

Nope, 82u is just the AX3000 with extra RGB and 4R4T unlocked by default. The real deal is 86u and above.

https://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/internet...8u-6394549.html

The TUF-AX3000 in Tongsan has an “AssasinCreed” mode, where it got unlocked to the same 4R4T like 82u does, reaching the theoretical speed of 5400 for free.

Additionally, better wait for sale or buy from Taobao, their pricing is much much better than our RM700ish pricetag.

Thanks for the info mate

I have an AX86U, it's like night vs day compared to the AX3000 (now used as a mesh node)

Damm, I should have bought the TUF version instead then ....

Although I'm not sure that 160 MHz 4x4 will even be usable if your laptop is >2m away from the router

In my case, I have just disabled the 160 MHz feature altogether

This post has been edited by laksamana: Dec 19 2020, 08:48 PM

You see how cheap can Taobao’s 82u go, under RM600 shipped, TUF-AX3000 is another 100+ cheaper (but locally can get sub RM480 during 11.11 sale last month).

i saw tplink ax3000 only rm300..no?

Should i pull the trigger???

asus router is cheaper online tbh

all depends on your budget and usage

Apsal 12.12 hari tu xnak beli..

Double 11 it goes as low as RM22x before discount.

FFFUUUUU, ayam buy 11.11 RM46X already lowest...

This price you used lapsapdah RM60 voucher?

how do you softmod it

that explains why exp cause I called klcc

does this mean tuf ax3000 is more superior than basic ax3000?

This is SERIOUSLY a champion price point to buy the TUF

Very capable router considering what you paid for it

Yup...lazada rm60 + ookas RM20 voucher.

Yes la, just buy, by next week your wi-fi will be a new level of experience ....

great deal there.

Either 1 is fine tbh.

Not heavy user then go for 56u.

Mine using 100mbps. Then no point go over 86u.

Buy.
I bought my 56u at 460 at local store. Passby then straight beli.

Of coz, in shopee selling 420 during 12.12 but with shipping to my house need around rm20. So extra rm10 i just buy it in local store. Plus my 3 parcel recently came in very very not good looking. 1 even pancaked.

If i saw this i straight buy lel.
For me from stock to asus router does a big leap.
Avg test speed before 56u
50mbps ~ 9x~100, 30~40upload not evertime same.

Now everytime test 103mbps /54upload.
3days test all 3days same speed.

Im very skeptical at 1st until i asked jimbeam and blacktubbi.
And k.

Din think of changing the router that time.

but spend about rm500 to buy a new smart watch

tumpang to buttin, i was looking to get mesh to replace my netgear R6700 v3 + asus repeater

Is it better to get TP link or Asus? So far i'm happy with asus but TP-link is like half the price only

TP-Link is fine from my personal experience using their C5400X, Archer C1200 and Deco M4 (Mesh Wifi).

If you are referring between Tp-Link X50 (AX3000) and Asus RT-AX3000, indeed TP Link is half the price of Asus.
But Asus can be made into Mesh Wifi system (AiMesh) by linking another AX router from them, TP-Link don't have this function yet.

Another forumer suggested previously that Huawei AX3 Pro (also AX3000) is around the same price as Tp-Link X50 BUT with Mesh Wifi capabilities:

See here (RM249): https://shopee.com.my/-Original-Huawei-Mala...6352.5341807323

https://consumer.huawei.com/en/routers/ax3-quad-core/

buy two of those Huawei AX3 Pro, can probably cover whole house full bar Wifi....

Sifu, does Asus separate their product lineup from the rest of the world just like other brands? Do they make separate China versions in order to comply with China's wifi transmit power regulation of100mW. I'm keen on getting TUF-AX3000, but I'm afraid of the wifi transmit power cum signal strength catch. Can I buy China's version then flash global firmware to get more than 100mW power?

I think some of their product do have China-specific variants

But generally I read through online all Chinese are happy with the performance after changing their region to AUS.

Oh, I remember that too, that's the concensus of the right.cn forum, they usually flash third party openwrt. However, I need to make use of the Aimesh of the original feature, lemme do more research, tq

Eh, no can do. Asus l's cost performance ratio too low even with "China" buff, local offerings like tplink's AX73 are still better

why bump old tered?
