    • Zephyrus on 20/03/2021 - 11:19
      1. Traffic between devices
      2. Due to signal interferance and extra load, some of that bandwidth is wasted retransmitting corrupted packets.
      3. It's a measurement of peak performance, if you're far away from the router, it will be slower, as other wifi standards are.
      • nuker on 20/03/2021 - 11:23

        yeah, im just ranting that noone makes wifi access points / routers / extenders with 2.5/5 Gbps ethernet. I have a DIY NAS with 2x 2.5Gbps and it, and Macbook, and this router, all can go above 1 Gbps, but they all still stick to gigabit ports on wifi stuff …

        • Antikythera on 20/03/2021 - 11:42
          +1

          the Xaiomi AX6000 has 2.5Gbps on one of its 4 LAN ports. As wifi 6 products mature I'd hope we'd see more of what you are after.

        • finger on 20/03/2021 - 15:23
          +2

          Asus Ax86u also has a dedicated 2.5Gbps wan/lan port

    • [Deactivated] on 20/03/2021 - 12:13
      +2

      Wireless bandwidth is shared by all clients and if I interpreted the spec correctly, for both i/o. In the meantime, wired bandwidth is dedicated. So far I hardly see in any scenario a single client constantly need over 1Gbps bandwidth and obviously not everyone wants to spend $1000 on a router, so it would be a good compromise to support multi-gig wifi but leave wired ports 1 Gbps. However, the designers do see such limitations so some routers actually support link aggregation on LAN ports, and some even support link aggregation on WAN ports. Again, you get what you pay for.

      No you can’t combine the two to extend your wifi. You have to use one or the other.

        Why won't repeater mode work on the rt68u for this purpose? It normally works just fine

          +3

          Hey fishandchips,
          Budju is correct and you can use the router as a wireless repeater.

          • fishandchips on 20/03/2021 - 13:07

            @PCByte CS: So I can just plug the AX3600 to power port upstair and use the phone to setup the AX 3600 to wireless repeater and connect wireless to my Asus RT-AC68?

            • Budju on 20/03/2021 - 17:35
              +1

              @fishandchips: I would be using the AX 3600 as the main router and have the RT-68U repeating the signal, so you get the full benefit of Wifi 6. Otherwise you bottle neck the new one.

      • Eryk on 20/03/2021 - 12:06

        why is this comment getting upvoted? It's wrong, you can set the router to either wired or wireless bridge mode so it does just that.

      Use Aimesh buy another Asus, use your old router as Access point it works well

    Can it work with TPG FTTC

    • emoticon on 20/03/2021 - 10:44

      Yeah it should work, it’s a router. Connect the router to your NBN connection box.

    • AussieGargain on 20/03/2021 - 10:48

      It works direct but if you have TPG a landline if then need to connect it to TPG router for the phone to work.

    • Mr Simple on 20/03/2021 - 11:29
      +3

      In with tpg nbn. Your router needs to be on vlan 2 which this doesn’t support out of the box. So you’ll need to connect this to your existing tpg router or look into ways of cracking the router config which is possible depending on the firmware

          If you took big brands just for BIG, then Xiaomi is for sure one of them. But the thing is Xiaomi is not considered a BRAND, or at least a brand I would like to buy for the next couple of years.

            @emoticon: Global version is based on EU regulations which severely limit the wifi power output. Australia does have slightly higher output levels compared to EU but china allows far more transmit power. Be interesting to see what power levels this version of the ax3600 allows. In my experience with the global version, setting the region on first use to Australia set the power level to the same as the EU. It was fairly weak. There are ways to raise the power limit, but requires technical know how.

          • emoticon on 20/03/2021 - 11:31

            @emoticon: Fair enough, I have no personal experience with the router, can only relay info I come across.

            If that’s the case, I expect the Australian version to be the same as the Global version rather than the Chinese version that has stronger wifi.

      Excellent, nothing is going to happen. Yes, a microwave oven can boil a cup of water with the same energy but that is applied in two minutes. If you spread that 2000W out over 24 hours, it would not raise the temperature of that cup at all.
