Wi-Fi 6, Quad-core CPU, 512MB of RAM and Ethernet ports on all nodes.
Nah to get 250Mbps you need to be on 250Mbps Superfast plan and HFC or FTTP.
and it's tri-band
Mesh is about wifi range and speed. NBN speed is a different matter.
Sorry, my sarcasm obviously didn't come through.
Asus :)
Just wait for WiFi6E, which I consider as a true WiFi6.
Wi-Fi 6E mesh costs double the price.
You’ll be waiting a while.
The lowest price I've ever seen. But my wife would not agree to buy this…
I'm sure these are great, but I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in. I used to have a Netgear X6 R8000 router, but I was having problems where it would overheat and crash when streaming Kayo, and when I upgraded to gigabit NBN, it would max out at my network (wired not just wifi) at about 300mbps (despite it being Cat 6 wired). So I thought before spending $500-600 on a brand name router, I'd try a Xiaomi AX6000. The firmware was in Chinese, but chrome translated it all in realtime for me. Instantly my network and internet speed shot up to 950mbps+ (wired and wifi), and the range is massive (without the need for mesh). Huge upgrade over the Netgear, and I got it delivered for $170 from Aliexpress.
300mbps on gigalan is just wrong, the Netgear is probably defective. The Xiaomi sounds great value, hopefully they keep it up and give Asus serious competition.
I think the R8000 was just a defective product.
Awesome speed , what kind of range does the wifi get, thinking of dumping my google wifi mesh
It depends on your house, and ultimately a mesh would be better, but I get more range from this than the X6 R8000. You can mesh the xiaomi though too, so it's win win. I'm getting over 500mbps from 3 rooms away in a double brick house with brick internal walls. I don't have any drop outs in my house with the Xiaomi. The Netgear was iffy in my furthest rooms.
I've used netgear before and had issues over range and have been using google wifi but the limited options and the occasional drop out is becoming a nuisance.
I was considering Xiaomi AX6000 and then came across the AX9000 model. Any thoughts on the AX9000 model? do you think its worth it to get AX9000 instead of AX6000?
I didn't get the AX9000 because it was over $300 and the AX6000 was only $150+ tax and shipping. I wanted to try it out to see how it works, (and it works amazingly well, way better than the Netgear Nighthawk). I'm still getting ~920mbps on wifi on the AX6000, that's enough for me.
Why is this so much more expensive than other mesh routers? Does it turn a NBN100 connection in to 200mbps?
