  How does this compare to Asus AC68U?

    If you don't can't make use of Wifi 6, there's not a lot in it depending on which frequency you use more and how far you are from it I guess

  Would this one work with TPG FTTB? Thanks

    Not by itself. You'll have to plug the Asus into the VDSL2 modem you use now.

      That would be ok. I just need to improve strength and reliability of the WiFi. Do you have any set up guide to connect it?

        1. Ethernet cable from the VDSL2 modem LAN to RT-AX58U WAN port.
        2. Open a browser, login to the VDSL2 modem and enable bridge mode.

  I can't justify how those router are so expensive compare to a very basic one that we buy from ISPs, which is around 60-90. Maybe only if you have too many wireless devices, plex server, etc….need a good processor, or strong signal

    They are better speced for a start. More powerful processors and feature sets.

    I think they are a waste of time and would always go a mesh system or access points with dedicated router, switch etc but for many central access works fine still.

      access points with dedicated router - is it possible to keep the same WiFi network when doing this?

      just got the TUF-AX3000 and thinking to get another router such as the RT-AX58U for AiMesh

    Some things that are better on non ISP routers are the following.

    Faster CPU, Ethernet and Wi-Fi speeds.
    More RAM.
    Better Wi-Fi range.
    Wi-Fi 6.
    Dual WAN.
    VPN client/server.
    DDNS.
    Traffic analyzer.
    Parental controls.

  Would it work with iiNet NBN HFC?

  • 

    Twix on 08/12/2021 - 17:10

    Asus is compatible with all ISPs. Make sure you enable VLAN ID of 2 in the RT-AX58U settings.

  Anyone can recommend between this one and Xiaomi ax3600?

  I just got the TUF-AX3000 version and have iiNet FTTB.
  Any special settings I need to enable/disable?
  The ASUS’s WAN port is connected to a LAN port on the TP-Link modem from iiNet.
