![]() With the older firmware, the latency values all increased, but in the other tests we saw a significant improvement. To look into this further, we found the only older version of firmware available for the AXE11000, Version 3.0.0.4.386.42026, and manually flashed the router back to this version. Having such poor QoS performance left us surprised, as this brand pretty consistently performs well on our congestion testing. In other words, the user is better off leaving the QoS off with the latest firmware. However, the QoS in all three connections tested (wired, 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz), dropped the FPS to the lowest we saw. This was curious as we have not encountered this on any other Asus router, which generally deliver excellent performance in network congestion testing. However, the QoS setting was disappointing each time it was turned on and tested. ![]() The firmware used was the latest, Version 3.0.0.4.386.42489 that debuted last month. We also got only a single PingPlotter spike across the three wired tests, and this with the ten 8K background videos streaming and the QoS set to off, so hardly unexpected. Still, the FPS were solid, and with only the game running, we achieved a 125.5 FPS. Things started off well enough with our laptop connected to the dedicated gaming port, although we cannot explain the higher latency score on our game of Overwatch with no background videos running. Setup of the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 WiFi 6Eĭespite the stupid-fast throughput, the ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 WiFi 6E did not deliver a stellar performance in our network congestion testing. Add those all together and, with the usual rounding that happens in networking total throughput, we come to the nice round number of 11,000 Mbps of total throughput. The GT-AXE11000 has a 2.4 GHz frequency for up to 1148 Mbps of throughput, a 5 GHz frequency for 4804 Mbps, and a 6 GHz frequency for another 4804 Mbps. The GT-AXE11000 is a tri-band router, although with Wi-Fi 6E things are somewhat different than previous tri-band routers, which typically have a single 2.4 GHz frequency and dual 5 GHz frequencies. The hardware specs for this router include a 64-bit, 1.8 GHz quad-core CPU, 256 MB of flash storage and 1 GB of RAM. ![]() There is also an option to do Link Aggregation to use both the Gigabit WAN port and the flexible LAN/WAN port as an additional Gigabit port for higher-bandwidth WAN. Then this router takes it a step further with a 2.5G WAN/LAN port, which adds some flexibility and is designed to offer ‘top priority’ to data sent through this port. To start, there are four Gigabit LAN ports and a Gigabit WAN port. Aside from USB, the GT-AXE11000 has an assortment of ports that offers some options not found in lesser routers.
