In reply to Sabin. Try both for an extended period, and you'll see, Sabin. The Asus's feature set is vastly superior to the Netgear in the support for AiMesh alone. In any case, all ratings are subjective to an extent.

A bit biased by your own preference for Asus.
The design difference is not by any means only marginal as your score difference suggests. Nor is the feature gap 2 points worth as very few care about dual Wan and (usually weak) out-of-the box protection solution.

In reply to Alexandre. The Netgear only has Link Aggregation, no dual-wan, Alex.

Hello, please can you confirm there is an error in the rax200 specs. It seems it is not able to perform dual-wan while the asus is able to…

Currently I am testing the dual-wan on a RT-ax92U and I was looking for an ax11000 model

In reply to Robert. I don't think I've written anything about the GT-AX11000's setting specifically, but here's the link to its review, Robert. I also used it as an example in this post about AiMesh.

Hi Dong,

When I was doing research on the Asus AX11000 couple months ago, I think I came across your recommended settings for this router. Can you share the link to this article if it’s available?

Thanks

In reply to Tan. Check out this post, Tan. Also, I think by "bridge mode", you meant access point or AiMesh node mode.

Hi Dong Ngo,

I’ve read most of your reviews related to Wifi 6 routers and found them very useful. I would like to seek your advice.

My flat floor area is about 160 sqm. There are many walls (4 bed rooms). Currently I have a 1GBps internet connection to Asus RT-AC87U. I have an Asus RT-N66U connected to the Asus RT-AC87U in bridge mode to extend Wifi coverage. Connection speed is not very good, especially where the Asus RT-N66U is supposed to help.

I was thinking of the Asus AX11000 as my main router, set 1st 5GHz band and 2.4GHz band for Wifi 5 and older devices and 2nd 5GHz band for Wifi 6 devices. If need be, I can connect the Asus RT-AC87U in bridge mode to extend coverage.

Because Asus AX11000 is a very expensive router, I was also considering the Asus AX88U and AX86U but both are dual band routers, so I can’t allocate a 5GHz band for Wifi 6 devices.

I prefer not to use mesh at this point as with 2 or 3 mesh routers, the cost will be even more expensive than the Asus AX11000.

Thanking you in advance.
