ROG Rapture GT6 WiFi 6 Mesh System - 1 Pack - Black - AX10000

Great piece of equipment easy to setup works great

I bought the ASUS ROG Rapture GT6 Tri-Band WiFi 6 as an AiMesh node to boost the WiFi signal of my ASUS RT-AXE7800 Tri-band WiFi 6E router. The router is in the first floor, where the modem is, and the signal downstairs is fairly weak. Connecting the router (ASUS RT-AXE7800) to the node (ASUS ROG Rapture GT6) following the ASUS video instructions was straightforward, although it took a few failed attempts. Unfortunately there were a few issues with the node: - The ASUS ROG Rapture GT6 Tri-Band WiFi 6 name and box seem to suggest that it is WiFi 6. However, according to the WebGUI only showed WiFi 2.4, WiFi 5-1 and WiFi 5-2 but not WiFi 6. - Although the AiMesh system is supposed to create a network with the same name throughout, the node displayed different network names to the router network. I could not seem to change that in the settings. - None of my devices in the ground floor (smart TV, iPad, Android mobile phones) could see the node. They were still seeing the router network (fairly weak). No improvement over the router on its own. The ASUS ROG Rapture GT6 Tri-Band WiFi 6 may well be an excellent router but, unfortunately, it did not work for my intended use (or I was unable to make it work). Hence the 3-star rating and returning the equipment to Amazon - the return process works very well, credit to Amazon.

I enjoy Asus products have been using them for a while. I needed a range extender also comes with AI protection for free. The problem with this router is the faulty chip I was sent with this unit. It's very temperamental on being stable, I have played with the setting to make it how I need the setting to be. It is constantly flashing blue even though I can see it connected and its receiving and sending data. Its far from being stable, also there is intermit disconnects when you think you have solved the problem. I tried to add this unit to a mesh network I already had. I had to factory reset the whole network to add this after trying several times to just add it to the network. The wired ethernet works fine but I required wireless for my purpose. I have spent several hours intial trying to connect it and make it work without needing to factory reset the network. I have additional spent another severals trying to make it stable, is worth my time no. After resetting the network and adding this I have had several intermitt issues of disconnects and being unstable. My conclusion for this unit I'm sure I received a faulty unit. I have updated the firmware and still no improvement. The ET12Pro work like a dream, no problems unless updating them. I will be returning this faulty unit and getting a far cheaper one. When I did get a connection to make to stable for a few minutes, the speed tests VS the money I spent not worth it. The extra 60mbps not worth it. The Wifi attached already gave 350mbps. Even though I do like Asus this problem maybe be a one off. I wouldn't recommend this product for all the problems I received.

Don't buy it if you plan to use AiMesh. These routers ruined my life with tons of issues. I really can't use them, a lot of random drops and spikes, Ethernet compatibility issues with both modem and other devices. Firmware has a lot of bugs, the system is totally unstable.
