Why would you ever use WiFi 5/802.11ac?
Instant SUB your testing details are great your range charts helped me make an informed decision that no one else could help with, much respect.
Any one notice 600 download speed wtf how what company you using bro
I have the netgear and it is absolutely crazy. Amazingly good and getting a signal on the 3rd floor up to 500mb! well worth the money. Its important to test out areas in the house where you get overall best connection. Is there a new Netgear router coming out soon? Curious to know!
Do you need a modem for the gt-ax11000
Bro casually put 3K on the table😳😳
I have that shirt!!
Dope reviews, I’ve heard a lot about micro center and now I definitely have to check it out
Chris, while I appreciate your videos. Numbers and charts are good, but I ask that you focus on Reliability and connection for routers. I have purchased the Asus AX11000 router and though it is fast, 2.4 constantly drops out, the 5ghz also drops out and it sometimes works with my Google devices and my Sonos and most of the time does not. Just not a very reliable router. I have recently updated to the Amplifi Alien and it is a night and day difference. Just to give it a strong comparison, I completely reset the AX11000 and started over, the Alien still blows it out of the water.
So if I play on west coast servers and friends on East which router do you think works for me to stop experiencing latency
Yea but you were payed my micro centre which has their own interests with the suppliers. Nice loop hole.
Thanks for the review! I like your positivity and upbeat demeanor. Appreciate you!
Fantastic vid. TY. Just got the TP-Link for $220 … Might not be the best on this test but that’s a damn good price and I get an extended electronics warranty w/costco…win win? we’ll see.
I wasted so much money on the ASUS GT-AX11000… thinking the 2.5g port would actually be good for something… until we start seeing routers with multiple 2.5g and/or 5ge ports, we’re getting bamboozled by them all…
So these gaming routers are the same as Xfinity ones right ( I mean the monthly subscription) I have to pay a month for the wifi correct ?
marylands microcenter lol love that store
Been wondering if I need one of these
do you need any of these if you use wired?
Thank you Chris! With all the crap videos out there this one is great. Yes, it was "sponsored" but it was loaded with detailed "seemingly" unbiased and tested practical data. On point succinct conclusions and explanations. I’m trying to find either a router and a modem or a router modem combo that will increase my speed and lower my latency of my wifi for specifically for use with my Oculus Quest 2. Xfinity (Comcast) is my only choice as a provider and they cant seem to increase my speed with consistency (after numerous visits) and blame it all on the limitations and speed capabilities of my devices. I am using their provided Gateway (modem router combo currently the XB6 and have had the XB7). Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Jeez you get better internet speeds outside your house compared to my speeds 10 feet away from my router lmao. I hate my ips lol
Anybody out there have any suggestions on a cable modem that would work well with one of these routers?
Do I need a modem to use it alongside these routers?
You have a Tesla!!! Subscribed
Great review but I wish you did a version for a $200 budget. Just can’t swing $400.
They need to put a MICROCENTER in Florida
TP AX1100 looks like a Slow overpriced POS FAIL!
As of Jan 3rd 2022 I’m seeing the TP Link AX11000 for a variety of prices.
Amazon 256.88 (sold by TechNGnet)
Walmart 314.95
Best Buy 399.99
I don’t know whats causing the discrepancy in pricing but based on descriptions they seem to be legit. (You verify if you buy). But could be a sweet deal if you are looking for a great bang for the buck.
I just moved out, got to say if if I didn’t already have an Asus router I plan to mesh with the ROG11000, the TP Link AX11000 is what I would get.
Can anyone help me out I have a netgear cm1200 modem with the alien AMPLIFI router the router keeps dropping wifi and lan aswell so I can’t get the system logs to find out the issue it’s like the router completely bricks. I’ve also created multiple channels to disburse congestion on one channel I’ve turned off ipv6 aswell
Would I still need to buy a modem with this too or is it a router modem combo?
So is it definitely worth it to upgrade from cable router to gaming?
Which is better for getting better internet across the house to the outside netgear night hawk por gaming router or tp linkAx5400 ax73
Which one would be best for my whole home that Is 2700sq ft a d I have 4 gaming consoles, 2 VR, cell phones, smart tv’s and chromecast as well?
These all look like shit-get the eero 6
And you should NEVER use 160 MHz channels … you’re bound to run into interference… unless there is literally no one around you.
How could you get upload speeds of 900+ with the Netgear Nighthawk??? Mine is doing 120…130 at most. I have a 300 mbps up and down link and I was doing 300 mbps upload speeds with a Calix U4 router. Actually, the Nighthawk does 300 mbps upload speed with the ethernet cable plugged. But the wifi doesn’t work the same. It just do awesome speeds for download. The upload caps at 100 to 130 mbps. I’ve tried almost every possible configuration. Do you have any advices?! Thanks!
Lol I love how we act like QoS is new. This has been around forever. Just people don’t know what it is or how it’s used
I have a wireless WiFi with xfinity will a good gaming router help my internet
So, it creates its own Wi-Fi or does it make the existing Wi-Fi stronger? If neither, please explain. My college Wi-Fi for gaming sucks and I want to know if this will help
So I tend to have the best and newest stuff. I have to RMA the AXE11000 because it’s firmware is horrible, it continues to drop wifi. Got me thinking, I’ve had all ASUS routers and each hand failed within a year. Thanks for the video, getting night hawk today.
Interesting results but the Netgear XR1000 is their "Pro Gaming" router, which would have been a better comparison to the Asus and its cheaper.
Aye bro I appreciate the video fr but after purchasing the router for ~$250, is there a monthly price we have to pay to any service for connection or does the router just get the connection on its own after installation and set up, and we only have to purchase it? Im a 21-year-old living in my first home bro the feedback it highhhhly appreciated. 🙏🏿
Hello, can you tell me what the difference is between the RT AX86U and the RT AX86S?
probably a dumb question but do you have to pay a monthly fee?
Can you please make a video to compare TP-Link AX11000 and Netgear RAXE450 (AXE10000), especially for the range and performance? Thanks!
So are you using smart connect and letting the router decid which frequencies to use?
Would you be able to talk about the setup of the winner ASUS for the gaming features? Would definitely appreciated all the bells and whistles for that router.
Yes, let me drive 4 hours to and 4 hours back to go to a microcenter
En mi opinion los router de antenas son mejores que los routers modernos que nos asigna Spectrum lo digo por mi servicio
Chris, how about a video on the best mesh systems. It is well and good to do do testing on individual routers, but mesh is increasingly important in order to distribute access throughout our homes.
So does this boost internet speed I have horrible internet with at&t about 10mbs would these routers boost it. I’m tired of taking 1 day to download a 30mb game
