    But I need to spend $700 on a gaming router!

  • UnciasDream on 31/03/2019 - 13:14

    I’m using this router now. Absolute beast if you have a need/want for 1.7Gbps Wi-Fi today. I paid $480 delivered earlier this year.

    • scuderiarmani on 31/03/2019 - 14:11

      Real world usage? I'd still take Gigabit Ethernet over wifi even in the same room personally.

      • UnciasDream on 31/03/2019 - 14:17

        For me, I’ve moved solely over to a laptop for video work/ gaming so I’m not stuck in a room on a desk when I don’t want to be.

        For me it was transfers of projects to my NAS which I was able to use two Gigabit Ethernet ports teamed together as this router supports that.

        • scuderiarmani on 31/03/2019 - 14:23

          Well that's definitely a benefit. I don't think the Wifi is or will be for quite some time. Regardless the numbers they sprout on these things are completely unrealistic.

          If AX handles multiple devices better that could be a different scenario, but even then it's niche.

        • AlexF on 31/03/2019 - 18:13

          I was able to use two Gigabit Ethernet ports teamed together as this router supports that.

          Link Aggregation (802.3ad/LACP) won't double bandwidth for single user. For multiple users, it will.

          By the way, IEEE is scheduled to ratify 802.11ax in Q3 of 2019, so, this Access Point has only implemented the draft standard.

          • UnciasDream on 31/03/2019 - 18:22

            @AlexF: Yes, you’re right.

            I didn’t mean to insinuate it would make any single transfer faster, rather, it creates less complaints when multiple family members access the NAS.

  • JackyQ on 31/03/2019 - 13:46

    256MB ram enough for an AX wifi standard? I am a bit unsure.

    • tromboc on 31/03/2019 - 14:21

      1gb ram, 256mb is flash memory

      • JackyQ on 31/03/2019 - 14:52

        Thanks, I was blind

        • AlexF on 31/03/2019 - 18:21

          Which feature of router, switch or access-point do you think you'll use that requires lots of RAM?

  • scuderiarmani on 31/03/2019 - 14:10

    I'd be waiting for the dust to settle on these. I've had awful luck with high end ASUS models before. When they work they are great though…

    Not to mention I'm not aware of any AX devices outside the S10

  • tromboc on 31/03/2019 - 14:22

    But why, when you can set up a complete enterprise-grade network at home for similar money, with interchangeable parts down the track when standards update?

    • scuderiarmani on 31/03/2019 - 14:25

      I've found these nicer to use than ubitqui (sp?) gear. Having said that they are very good.

      • tromboc on 31/03/2019 - 14:35
        -1

        Each to their own. This is so expensive for consumer level gear that can't be upgraded.

        If anyone is interested in what I'm talking about, go search something like Ubiquiti (or "ubiquiti alternatives" but that's just a well known ecosystem)

        #iamnotashill #thatswhatashillwouldsay

        • scuderiarmani on 31/03/2019 - 14:42

          I'm not denying it's negatives. Probably helps that these are marketed better so the average consumer will be more inclined to purchase. Just add the word gamer too and you've got a big seller.

          • tromboc on 31/03/2019 - 14:44

            @scuderiarmani: I was that average consumer for a long time, and have an expensive graveyard ofgear under my house gathering pity dust.

            • scuderiarmani on 31/03/2019 - 14:54

              @tromboc: I sell so much of it and keep changing, you know your bad when you rebuy it later :(

              My house is a networking nightmare.

              • tromboc on 31/03/2019 - 15:08

                @scuderiarmani: I know the feeling. I just got tired of gear that couldn't handle a modern home, but still costing a bomb. It's not just a single PC, XBOX 360 and couple laptops on wifi any more. I have 40+ clients amongst all my smart home and home theatre crap.

                • scuderiarmani on 31/03/2019 - 15:59

                  @tromboc: I had to run a cable externally up stairs as I had no way of doing it internally.

                  Long townhouse isn't wifi friendly at all.

    • musicinbed69 on 31/03/2019 - 16:07

      802.11ax access points require more than 1gbps for full speed, I don't think any reasonably priced/sized ubiquiti routers support that yet. So ubiquiti isn't really an option I feel.

  • ifonlyiwasyounger on 31/03/2019 - 18:16

    Am I missing something? I got a pretty swish router for free when I signed up to Telstra for the NBN.

    • AlexF on 31/03/2019 - 18:25

      801.11ax was designed for high-density WLAN environments. Perhaps that describes some people's needs.

      • ifonlyiwasyounger on 31/03/2019 - 18:29

        Thank you AlexF. But you lost me at "801.11ax" :-)

  • yellowcoconuts on 31/03/2019 - 21:23

    Will this future proof me with (soon to arrive) HFC NBN for the next 10 years?
    I'm still on my ADSL2+ Billion BiPAC 7300GA

    • 1bug on 01/04/2019 - 12:05

      Yep, but given your Billion 7300 is wireless 'G' which is 3 generations behind (superseded by wireless 'N', 'AC', and now 'AX'), you're better off getting something in the 'AC' range like Asus RT-AC68U

      For basic internet for your home PC, you wouldn't likely wouldn't notice any difference between this and the ISP supplied piece of turd, to be honest. It's more about handling the complexity of your home network, number of devices, throughput of data (our internet speeds are nowhere near the capabilities of most modern routers).

      So it really is a how long is a piece of string question unless you provide more information about your home network.
