A:AnswerMy Asus 11000 covers the whole house and outside of my house. I have a great signal in my cul de sac and all the way to the edge of my backyard. no problems at all. Definitely worth the money.
A:AnswerI powered up the router, set admin password, wireless passwords and it worked. So easy you may not know its done. Setting up advanced features is easy and there are some great videos online that discuss theses advanced features. Unless you have a need for the advanced features you can just leave them alone.
A:AnswerI have verizon for the internet also and I sent my fios router back to verizon. I run the ethernet cable straight to my ASUS 11000 and it works fine. I have direct tv so i didn't have to keep the router. If you use verizon for tv you will still need their router.
A:AnswerWhatever your download speed on your bill is the maximum you can get to with any modem (usually provided by wind stream) or router like the ASUS AX11000. The new WiFi6 has a lot of features that make it useful for a home network, even if you don’t have an internet connection. Like faster wireless transfer speeds among devices you own and all wirelessly, but it won’t change the internet speed you get from the tap. Only Windstream or another ISP can do that for you. Now if your bill says you get 100Mb/s in the plan you pay for, this router will certainly give you that full 100Mbps speed over WiFi. Hope that all helps.
A:AnswerI saw little degradation with this router. Internet speed from ISP is 940Mbps, I typically get mid-700s to mid-800s outside VPN (via 5Ghz WiFi or hardwired) and high 600s with the VPN. There’s a difference, but it’s not noticeable.
A:AnswerGoogle Search "At the terminal distance of 150 feet, the GT-AX11000 still topped all others with 501.8Mbps." If your house is s box with only four walls and the router is in the absolute center then yes. But you will experience degrading speeds the further you are from the router and if there are any obstacles in the way. That said, a house has walls, floors, electrical, duct work and plumbing that can impede signals. In addition, your network will be competing with other network signal channels that can interfere with performance. This is all dependent on how dense your neighboring homes or apartments are so range to cover the space is just one factor. This all holds true for any top of the line router system. Nonetheless, there is a solution. You can buy multiple routers (any top brand) and place them in various spots around the house and create a network. Asus calls this network (AIMesh) and they makes setting this feature up real easy. You will be up and running in no time. In addition, you can use qualifying old Asus routers to create this AImesh network. You can check online on Asus website to figure out if your old router supports AIMesh. You may need to update the firmware of the old router and Asus made this process easy too. I have a 5000 Sq ft home with heavy network traffic and I stream wirelessly throughout my home with no issues. I use the AX1100 plus two older Asus routers to have the best possible signal strength. I experience around 400-600 Mbs download depending on the day living in a reasonable dense neighborhood. If you are looking for top download speeds at every corner of the house you are going to to need multiple routers. Best of luck!
A:AnswerThe question is a little 'odd' in that Routers are typically designed to operate normally regardless of internet service provider brand. Perhaps you mistaken a router for a carrier modem; modems on the other hand, are designed to work on a specific carrier's network and are extremely dependent on whIch carrier you use.
The technical expectation is that this router will work AT&T internet service. So long as AT&T's modem (or fiber terminal) interface meets the interface standards Set by the IETF, it will work.
Hope this helps...m
PS:! I've been installing ASUS Routers in customer homes for 20 years with 1 incident - carrier problem (cable vision). I also worked for AT&T labs for 5 years.
A:AnswerI have not benchmarked this equipment against other routers in it's class, so I do not have enough information to say that it is the best router for ethernet connection performance. If you are talking about the full world of network equipment and you only care about wired performance versus wireless capability, there are certainly higher performing choices depending on what google offers for its highest level of throughput and what you are willing to pay eg. 10gb/s or greater). I can tell you that I am using this router in a small business for it's wi-fi 6 capability in a highly congested signal area, and have plugged a windows 2019 server with NVME disks into the 2.5GB/s lan port on the router. On the server I am using a Startech ST10GSPEXNB ethernet adapter that has 5 speed modes, including a 2.5gb/s mode. On the server Windows confirms that I have a 2.5gb/s connection. When performing file copies, I am getting aggregate traffic throughput of about 1.4-1.6 gb/s through the network card. The NVME disks are capable of about 4gb/s when i have been performing internal copies, so i know that they are not a bottleneck for the test. The router and server may be capable of the full 2.5gb/s, I just do not have another device on the network capable of reaching that type of performance so when I have been seeing above 1gb/s it has been by performing multiple simultaneous copies from other machines to the server. Latencies on the local network are consistently sub 1ms for wired connections, and sub 7ms for wireless connections through the ROG router. For the WAN connection, I am running Verizon FIOS for business on the 300/300mb/s plan, and the speed test generally comes in around 310mb/s down and 330mb/s up. Using the router's Game Radar service I am seeing the following latencies for the lowest 2 latencies regions reported for each game: I am located in the Northeastern US (Boston area).
Diablo 3 USW - 6ms, TW - 5ms
Dota 2 AU - 5ms, USE - 7ms
League of Legends USW - 4ms, AU - 7ms
Head of the storm USE - 7ms, USW - 7ms
Overwatch USW - 4ms, USE - 6ms
One last thing I will mention, this router has the most user friendly interface of any network equipment I have ever worked with. Setting up advanced features on both the wired and wireless side including link aggregation of WAN ports across multiple carriers was far easier than what I am used to. Asus has done a good job of making sure that anyone with sufficient patience to read what they have put in the menu screens for each feature will be able to get the most out of their router product. Good luck with whatever equipment you buy, there seem to be a lot of good choices out there nowadays.
A:AnswerI have this router with ATT fiber 1000. It was easy to setup and it’s been rock solid with great coverage and speed. My only negative is price but I expect it will lower as more WiFi6 products become widespread.
A:AnswerYou Still need your AT&T modem, as its a modem, a router and a wireless access-point at the same time, build in a "cost effective" way to suit the average user. This on the other hand ASUS is a High End Gaming Wireless router, best in class for what it does, but its not a modem, so long story short you still need your AT&T modem that will connect to this Wireless Router. But your wireless experience will be night and day, specially with new devices, or you had coverage issues.
Once you install the New Router, it would be best if you disable the WiFi from your modem, a) so you dont have your devices confused on what network to connect, and b) to have the less wireless signals in your environment fighting the spectrum. This will help your new router work better as well, as there will be less contamination in your wireless spectrum. no need for those signals you are not using.
Additionally, and (not necessary) for more advanced users you know a little of what they are doing, you should also go in to your AT&T modem SETTINGS -> FIREWALL -> FIREWALL APPLICATION, PINHOLES AND DMZ, and put your "new" router in the DMZ and forward all the ports to the new router. On my particular modem the option is called "DMZPlus mode".
Do a speed test before and after the upgrade so you can see the difference.
A:AnswerYes you still need a modem for it and this is definitely for gaming. Its Asus top of the line gaming router with tons of features. Its ideal for a big area and you need a good spot to put it on because its pretty big and has no wall mount holes. Hope this helps.
A:AnswerThough it is marketed for “gamers”, tri-band routers give you two of the stronger 5GHz bands, and the AX11000 has 8 channels. More devices can connect with no interference against each other, and more bands for better signal strength. The amount of tools in the AX11000 like network mapping to see all devices that are connected, USB connections for network storage and printers, and remote access controls are some of the primary features that led to my purchase.
A:AnswerI have spectrum 1G also and saw immediate improvement with this router. I had installed a nerf gear orbi 6 for 3 days that was a nightmare. Changing to the ASUS immediately cleared up my issues.
Good unit
