ASUS GT-AX6000 and Verizon Fios options available.
Has anyone bought the router shown in this video? I know it was a sponsored clip, but I was really eager to test it out. I’m struggling to achieve equal speeds with my 1 Gig (900 up 900 down) plan on Verizon Fios. From the ONT directly, I see the right speeds and everything works fine with my Netgear Nighthawk XR1000—so I’m a bit let down about the router itself, though it has great reviews. Do anyone have tips for setting up an ASUS Router with Fios? I’ve tried updating firmware, resetting it, changing the SSID, using different cables, and even switched ISPs (Xfinity worked too). Everything seems okay with them. I’m also disabled QOS and Adaptive Features, which is a big drawback given what the router offers. Thanks in advance for your help. With this device… Xbox Hardwired reaches only 1mb up… Speeds drop to 500 down 10 up or worse.
The GT-AX6000 is an excellent home wireless router designed to maximize symmetrical gigabit internet connections during WAN-to-LAN transfers. If you didn’t encounter issues with the XR1000, what changed when you switched to the GT-AX6000? Did you switch the FiOS device to bridge mode? Have you performed wired speed tests using the GT-AX6000 at speedtest.net, fast.com, and dslreports.com? Does a PC linked via Ethernet to the GT-AX6000 provide a minimum 1Gbps connection as confirmed by the network adapter?
@Falcon1986 The XR1000 is great, but I wanted to look at the GT-AX6000. Versus.com offers a useful comparison that shows why the GT-AX6000 stands out technically. https://versus.com/en/asus-rog-rapture-g...ing-xr1000 I’m also curious about updating Merlin in the future, but it doesn’t affect the upload speeds I see. I reached out to Asus for help, but they weren’t very helpful. They recommended replacing the router, though I’m not sure that’s the issue—maybe a setting inside the device is the problem. I think using the Fios-provided router isn’t necessary since the ONT is set up for Ethernet. I’ve checked Speedtest, Fast and Dsl, and all show speeds between 600-900 down and 1-30 up, which is way below the symmetrical 940/940 I should expect.
