About this deal

It’s important to note that this band uses DFS channels, and as such, it might be less reliable if you live near a radar station. Please note: Canadian 🇨🇦 ISP provides gigabit internet; all major devices are currently Wi-Fi 5 (TV, Macs, iPhones, iPads); I will be renovating my new house in the coming months and will make heavy use of HomeKit-based SmartHome devices (switches, lights, sensors, etc.), hence I decided to go with a Wi-Fi 6 router to make my upgrade more future-proof. But to cut to the chase, on the one hand, the RT-AX92U is a cute little tri-band Wi-Fi 6 router, almost perfect for a small home. On the other, when working as a mesh, its odd specs make things a bit complicated — you might mistake what you’ll get out of it. So I’m interested in this model and wanted to know the best way to set it up with my current network. Currently I have ATT gigabit internet and have the BGW210 Modem/Router. I’m looking to add the RT-AX92U to the setup and I’m wondering if it’ll be any better for performance if I use the BGW210 in bridge mode (aka passthrough in the router settings) or if I just setup the AX92U as an access point. I ask because if I use it as an access point, it seems I will still get coverage from the original router (which is in my bedroom) which would help cover that side of the apt. I’ve got a cabin home + garage / game room that are 60 yards apart. The garage is full of steel. The fiber optic laid (only 100Mbps) is coming into the Garage, and I want to extend the network to the Cabin Home.

I want to know what you think the best way to use the AX 92Us with an AX1100, and if the wired connections on the AX1100 are fast (I think I know, but the AX 92Us LAN ports seem so bad, I’m not sure any more! ).. My work computer is wired and I have 3 other computers that are 100% WiFi. My streaming setup is wired into the EA9500. All other wireless hardware are IoT devices (roughly 15). All wire is Cat6. The router comes with the usual one Gigabit WAN port and four Gigabit LAN ports despite the small footprint. It even has room for two USB ports to host storage, printers, or a cellular modem.Support IPSec IKE v1 and IKE v2, and you can use the Windows 10 native VPN client program to connect to the router's IPSec VPN server. The Windows 10 new FAQ is in https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1033576 My problem is that I can’t figure out why the reported negotiated speed is not reporting as 1.2 or 2.4gbps on my laptop, but instead fluctuating so wildly. I wasn’t reporting internet speed tests, I was noting what Network Connection Status was reporting on Windows (and also the device list on the Asus GUI). Actual speed tests mostly max out the 350 down connection on both the phone and laptop, although the laptop is varying a bit when the reported speed on Network Connection Status changes.

At its core, the RT-AX92U is like any other Asus router. You can set it up using its web user interface or the Asus Router mobile app.This was right at my wired PC with everything connected, eveything being the cable modem, the 2 DGL-4500’s, and a Netgear 8-port unmanned switch. Lovely place, but with 0.4 – 0.6Mbit (on good days) I have bad internet (you can’t have it all I guess). Totally learnt a lot from your review and got the AX92U for myself. Generally, they are working as you described and I love them. 1 week later, issues started to pop up, and hopefully you can shed some light on these issues.

Again, the RT-AX92U is one of the tri-band routers that use different Wi-Fi standards for its three bands. So I want to replace at least one of the units with the AX1100 as the main router, with a wired connection (or a wireless wifi 6 connection) to my main machine. Keep the current router’s setting but use a network cable to connect the node unit’s WAN port to its LAN port. Should I really just be looking at the XT8 at this point to future proof? Are the speeds comparable? Clients who connect to the guest network can be viewed in the network map -->view list --> interfaceI even replaced my wired LAN connection with an Intel-based wireless card (the ASUS AX 58BT) and got an immediate speed increase, though of course it’s NOT wifi 6 speeds. Now I’m looking specifically for performance only, so basically max speeds, bandwidth and range. Not too concerned about the features outside of that, as I’m only looking at this router thanks to its tri-band support and the fact I have quite a few 5ghz compatible products, as well as Quest 2 I plan to use with Airlink. Hopefully what I’m asking makes sense. Reply
