What am I glad finding this walkthrough . Tomorrow I will receive my rt-ax11000 upgrading from a 9 year old Asus RT-N66U, I guess I will notice some improvement :) This video will save me a huge amount of time figuring everything out. I'm quite tech savvy but networking has never been my strong suite. Thanks!
To everyone having issues, my advice would be get your isp to check their lines. Also, if you're not tech savvy, find someone who is and check your setup thoroughly. More often than not, upgrades are often fails because there's issues with other things.
Nice walk through. I just bought the GT-AXE11000 to replace a Netgear router that I've had since 2015. I'm familiar with Asus's interfaces. Nice to see some cool stuff for me to play with.

Great Video, Thanks for all the advice !! Im vey happy with my Raptor !
Great video! I am fairly knowledgable with routers but this one is very advanced. Your video helped me to better understand the interface of my router. The reason I came across it though is because I have an issue with Bootcamp on my Mac. When I had a Netgear router, I did not have speed problems on OS X side or Windows 10. When I bought the 11000, my speeds were still great on the OS X side, but terrible os Windows 10. My ISP provides 960 down and 35 up. I am getting about 700 down and 35 up wirelessly on OS X. Switching to windows I get 6 (that 6 is correct. no missing zeros or typos) down and 35 up. I recently moved and installed my old EAX 80 extender for greater coverage. I set up one of the bands on the Netgear extender as a separate name for a test. My Windows side of my Mac is fast again (close to OS X side) even though I am using the extender with my 11000 router. Any idea why this may be happening? Again, thank you for this great walkthrough!
Wow, that's a real speed reduction, really not sure why this would happen. Have you checked in Windows (Bootcamp) what if the network adapter settings have changed?
Enabling 160mhz will not cause any negative effects on your WiFi signal. But you will only see benefits if you have devices that will connect at this bandwidth. Selecting Auto is the easiest option and I would include DFS channels.
@@EclipseReviews I see. May I know if there is any wall mount for this gt ax11000 router? Is that a higher high, the better signal? What if I want to use aimesh then what other router I should buy? (Is it aimesh is really good? I'm really curious.)
Thanks for the detailed video. Im actually having a problem. I have Gig service from my ISP and my computer is wired. When i directly connect to the Surfboard Modem im pulling about a Gig, but, once i hook up my AX11000 router im only getting about 500Mbps. Ive tried using all ports including the 2.5G. My router is set at 1024Kbps like your video also has. I cant figure out why im loosing so much on the speed test. Any and all help is appreciated. thank you
It depends on cable, if you have cat 5 cable then you will only get 100 Mbps, if its cat5e then it can support 1 gbps, but bandwith is low compared to cat 6e which is double that of cat6 and cat 5 cables....make sure you have a good ethernet cable
@@ksr3535 i have a cat 7. i have also tried a cat 6a with the same results. when i bypass the router and only have my computer plugged into the modem using the same cables i get 1Gbps
For gaming I would recommend enable there 'Game Acceleration' options. (e.g. Game Boost, WTFast) . For normal use, I would switch off the 'Traffic Analyzer' and switch on only when you want to see statics on your network. Also changing the DNS setting to Cloudflare / Google / OpenDNS, these can do Parental controls, block spyware/malware sites so you router does not have to process this. But to be honest I have 30 devices connected to my router and some with constant uploading and transferring data and the CPU never goes over 60% across all cores. The RAM is around 69% used with OpenVPN on as well. I hope this helps a little.
Hiya Eclipse, I have this weird glitch with one 1G ports always showing yellow when I connect it to my PS5. Swapped cables with new and still the same, speed is fine. I read up and it’s a known, glitch, any ideas how to resolve.
I have cox gigablast with a netgear cm2000 modem connected to the asus gt-ax11000 but when I do my speed test I'm clocked at 240 download and 33 upload. I've seen other TH-cam videos with the same setup but they're in the 750+ area.
Tx for the video. is it usefull to enable logged packet type ? and enable dos protection hurt the performance ? is it ok to enable theses option to optimize online gaming ????
Enabling logged packets is normally if you want to diagnose a problem with you internet connection , I presume this will use more cpu / ram. Enabling DOS protection, I saw a tiny bit more memory used. But has not hurt the performance at all, been using over a month. For gaming DOS protection is fine, but would not enable packet logging. Hope this helps
You would need the VPN details from the companies, the details needed is; VPN connection type (OpenVPN, PPTP, L2TP) , VPN Server address, username and password. With OpenVPN you will need to upload a configuration file (.opvn) more information can be found here: www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1033909
can you help me set up 20 static ip address and assign these static ip address to my computers. Also I already have static ip address from cable company. I just need to set them up with router and assign it to computer.
Thank you for this. Are there specific steps to turn off a certain wireless band? Like if I wanted to turn off the 2.4GHz because everything I have is on 5GHz
Yes, you can go to “Wireless” under Advanced Settings. Then select “Professional” tab, you can the select the 2.4Ghz band from the drop down. Finally you select “No” for the Enable Radio option.
@@EclipseReviews spent a fortune on this router hoping for better connection on the xbox but its terrible, upload + download speed exactly the same as it was with virgin hub 3 but my latency has gone up 8, whole point of getting this router was because my latency been an issue....disaster, any ideas?

I have one question. Im using IPTV on one of my TVs (using its Mac adress) Can I use this IP tv on several TVs that would be connected to the same Wifi channel and use its Mac adress from that? Bridge? Happy for any advice !
Hi, I have not used iptv so not sure, but have reviewed the router options and can see there is one for ‘LAN IP’ which you can select an ‘ISP Profile’ and a manual option. But not sure if this can do what you require.
The newer model has been released Asus GT-AXE11000 but is still hard to get hold of from shops. As these routers are very expensive, if you do not need so many feature there is a lot of other excellent routers out there that will be a good upgrade from a 7 year old router :)
@@EclipseReviews Thank you for the reply. I have many things connected to the wifi. I probably look in that new asus router. That way I won't worry for another 7 years 😁. Thank you
i have this router currently, everything seems to work great except for when i attempt download a game on my pc whether it be steam or some other application. at times it will start at 50MB/s but it will drop all the way to 7MB/s and simply take hours for a simple 1GB download. its also just dropping to 0. my ethernet cables are cat6 and theyre all known good. not sure if there is a setting i need to adjust?
Does sound strange the router setting would cause this issue, sound like you have a good setup with a connection via ethernet. Does this happen to just games, can you download other files like apps ok? You could try first to see on the router settings, and look under QOS menu and switch this off if this is on. Also try to temporarily switch off the AiProtection to see if this is dropping the connections.
There is two places to change the MTU: 1. WAN Port MTU Menu options: Advanced Settings > WAN > Internet Connection (Tab) > Account Settings 2.LAN Port MTU Menu options: Advanced Settings > LAN > Switch Control (Tab) > Jumbo Frame
@@EclipseReviews Hi. Regarding 1). MTU does not show up unless I change the connection type to PPoE. My ISP prefers automatic. If I change to PPoE it does not connect. Regarding 2). MTU does not show up when I change the Jumbo Frame to enable. Or do you mean just put it on enable? Sorry but this is way beyong my knowledge base, never heard of Jumbo Frame before.
Hey man great video was wondering if you could help i was trying to add a openvpn through the vpn fusion tab using nordvpn server i add it the way it tells you in the manual and yt video and nordvpns website but when I goto activate the server it continues to load and spin and never connects was wondering if u could help thanks
sorry for the slow reply, is it these instructions you have followed (support.nordvpn.com/Connectivity/Router/1047410562/How-to-configure-your-Asus-router-running-original-firmware-AsusWRT.htm)? I have just tried it with NordVPN and I had to do it twice second time I changed the NordVPN server, not sure if this helped.
Hello. I have a quite special question that even the so called technicians of ASUS cannot answer. My ISP provided 2 x 1G internet connections. Each of these 2 connections has its own unique IP. My existing router (i.e. NOT this AX11000) has 2 WAN ports and so my current configuration is one 1G line to one WAN port of the router, meaning both WAN ports are filled. In the setup page of the router, it allows me to "bond" these 2 WANs into one to become a 2G connection (they call it load balance). I then connect the router to the PC using 2 LAN cables. On the PC side, these 2 LAN cables are plugged to a special LAN card which also enable bonding and load balancing. As such, I can enjoy the internet at 2G speed. Speedtest and Fast results are around 19XX Mbps. Now I am considering doing the same thing with the AX11000. My plan is to use its 1G WAN port and also use 1 of its 4 LAN ports as a WAN port (my existing router can let me choose a LAN port as the secondary WAN (called it "WAN 2") in the setup page). Then bond them together to become a 2G internet connection. After that, I will connect the PC and the router using the router's 2.5G port. My understanding is that the 2.5G port of the AX11000 can serve as either WAN or LAN (and so I will use it as a LAN port). My new PC also has a 2.5G LAN port, meaning I no longer need the special LAN card anymore. My problem is that the AX11000 isn't cheap and so I wish someone can enlighten me whether it can do what I am planning. Thank you!
I’m planning on getting this modem, but I want to know if it will raise my Xfinity bill. I get 1.2TB of fast internet, if I go over that I get charged $10 so I’m wondering if this modem gives out the fast internet without raising my bill. Ik I kind of ask mess up on the question... if there’s a time stamp on the video can you please notify me or if someone can please reply to my situation.
Hi, if you have 1.2TB data allowance using this router will not use up any more that your current router. Just it may help you connect to the WiFi quicker so instead of taking 20 minutes to download 200mb it will take 10 minutes, but of course this depends on your device and internet connection. I hope this makes sense :)
@@jaydizzle59 if you are afraid of going over your allowance limit for internet data, you can talk to your internet provider about how much extra it would cost you to add unlimited data to your internet package. (if it is an available option from your internet service provider) I have unlimited data added to my gigablast internet from cox, so I can use all the data that I want to without limits! It's practically a must if you have a household full of gamers like i do! :)
I personally prefer to manually separate the WiFi networks, as I now have a few WiFi 6 devices and the Xbox for gaming on a dedicated WiFi channel and can setup the advanced WiFi options. But I have used the smart connect feature and worked good except some 5Ghz devices would move over to the slower 2.4Ghz, it makes life easier with having the router choose the channels and makes for a simpler user experience.
@@EclipseReviews what latency do you get on your xbox? Has it improved with this router? On fifa i now only get 4 bars instead of 5 and my latency/ping has increased
anyone have issues with the rgb light? mine hasnt worked since i got it. i have it enabled on the dashboard and i have played around with the settings, but there is absolutely no light. possible damaged unit?
It's a button on the left side of the router called boost. Press and hold it for a second or two and the LED should come on. Not sure was is boosted when the button is pressed BUT the LED did come on.
For some reason, I'm able to login to the router's web gui through my laptop but on my desktop it can't find the server and both are connected to the same channel. Odd
@@EclipseReviews Thanks for the reply, I did check and there was no restrictions. However, I'm not getting this issue anymore and I did mess around with some settings that wasn't related and just randomly worked on the desktop so... Ok. Haha
Hey man I’m wired and I have this router and I use an ATT modem and I still get lag spikes and 60-80 ping still and I’m West in Cali above Bay Area I don’t know why or how I lag? Anything I can do you fix it because all I do is game nothing else and I play Fortnite and 3on3
Do you currently have any of the features turned on (e.g. Game Boost or Open NAT, AI Protection )? Also your ATT modem could this be affecting the lag spikes.
Eclipse Reviews I do use game boost I’m don’t think I use open nat and ai protection will that help? And I think it’s probably my att modem because I’m not bridged because I get double nat type and always moderate nat type before my WiFi was coo like 20s and 30s but not it’s just all of a sudden terrible and I’m lost?
Open NAT is only good to help open ports on the router, so will not help. Can you access any settings on the ATT modem, to see if you change anything to help.
@@EclipseReviews sometimes i see the channel but most of the time i dont. And when i try to connect to it it just doesnt work. On my pc it says cant connect to this network. I dont even think the routeur receives any ip
@@MrAnonymzz You may have to complete a factory reset and try unplugging the router from the power to clear the memory. This will of course erase all your settings, so good to backup them first. Not sure what else Which could be causing this. Have you check the WiFi settings menu for the specific channel to see anything strange.
@@EclipseReviews yes ive checked everything. But ive seen some people with this issue since this summer. It might be a firmware issue? Ill do a factory reset
I love this router, but I have a 1.2gbps internet speed, if I plug directly from modem to PC, I get 1300+mbps. But even hardwired from this router to my PC, I cannot break 1000mbps. Ugh. I can't find a solution!
Hi, the AX11000 only has one 2.5Gb port the rest are 1Gb. So even if you plug in the modem in to the router's 2.5Gb port then plug in your computer to the other LAN ports maximum you are going to get is 1Gb in speed. The only other way I can think of is perhaps use a switch from the modem, but this will only work with limited makes.
Both use the WTFast technology feature within the routers, if you are using ethernet to connect and play with no other devices using bandwidth to the router I would say that there would be not much difference. But, if you have several demanding devices like IP Cameras, Multiple people upload/downloading, then the GT-AX11000 would be much better as it has the faster CPU and 2.5 GBe port if you can take advantage of this and the extra 5Ghz WiFi band.
Ethernet cable from wall to MODEM. Your modem then connects to the ROUTER via another Ethernet cable. Hope this helps, if you haven’t already figured it out.
when i have IPV6 enabled i have my wan light come on red occasionally but i still have access to the internet i don't get disconnected, but its annoying seeing this and makes me believe something is causing an issue has anyone experienced this issue? when i go the routers webpage it also says im disconnected but again i still have access to the internet with no interruption thanks
Have you checked that the correct options for your ISP is selected in the IPv6 menu option? I had the problem until I changed the “Connection type” and “Auto Configuration Setting” for my ISP.
You have this built in to the main software under Game Acceleration option. It’s basically a gaming VPN, www.asus.com/content/best-gaming-router/#ROG-Gaming-Router/
Hello. I wanna buy this router for gaming reasons. Using ps4 pro, with 200 Mb, 50 upload. I need to know if buying this would help me play better at games? From latency, ping and all that. Need Someone to talk to see if its necessary for me, i am a serious gamer for fps. Hope anyone give ideas or experience about this router. Good night for you. I liked the vídeo, nobody else talked about this asus.
I did some videos on Gaming Features and Speed Test, the feature do make a difference: Gaming Features - Asus ROG GT-AX11000 Gaming Router provides triple-level game acceleration: th-cam.com/video/zBAZJqL_njk/w-d-xo.html Gaming Features Extended Speed Test- Asus ROG GT-AX11000 Gaming Router th-cam.com/video/tKwmbvzYH0Y/w-d-xo.html
I believe that the ping depends on your internet connection type, I have 1Gb Firbe to the home. Also have you tried changing your DNS setting, I use 1.1.1.1/dns/ this will help load web pages quicker.
@@EclipseReviews i changed my dns setting in the windows 7 setting. But in the router you mean i will have to change the "DNS SETUP WAN" or "the setup dns and wins server" ???
@@ak3d1 21:32 in the video, I mean to update the router settings under “WAN DNS Setting” to the details on the webpage above. Just a suggestion if you are still using Windows 7, might be an idea to upgrade to Windows 10 for security now 🙂
The only other things that can affect a higher ping is a bad WiFi connection, security software (Mcafee,Avast,Norton) firewalls as they inspect packets. From what I believe any amounts below a ping of 20ms is considered excellent 👍

Hi, you are lucky to have such good internet speeds. I have just reviewed the setting on the router, you can connect 1 ISP WAN connection to the ASUS Routers Primary WAN port. Then choose ‘Enable Dual WAN’ which will allow you to select the Secondary WAN port on the router (e.g. LAN 1,2,3,4). You then can choose the ‘Dual WAN Mode’ which in your case would be ‘Load Balance’. So from the options I see you should be able to do what you want on the AX11000, but on the FAQ from the settings page here on Dual WAN: www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1011719. It says “ Note: The system will separate Internet sessions based on the load between the Primary WAN and Secondary WAN, instead of the overall bandwidth or overall data rate.” So not sure if this actually saying if you for example run a speed test it will just use the bandwidth of one 1Gb connection and not bond the connection like you have now. I will try and see if I can try it out on my router this weekend and let you know 100%
@@EclipseReviews Thanks for the detailed reply. After I submitted my above post, I have done some googling and found that a newer model is on the horizon: AXE-11000 and so I will wait for that. Unfortunately, this new AXE model will only become available in a region as soon as its government approves using 6Ghz for Wifi 6E and so it might be US-only at launch.
@@EclipseReviews HI - Have you tried to see if the ASUS actually "bond" the 2 ISP connection into one? Does it then output the combined bandwidth via the 2.5G port? Really eager to know as I'm going to set it up this way. THanks
The port should work fine with the PS5 and not require any configuration. Have you checked under the menu 'WAN' to make sure this is not set as the WAN (internet) port. Can you see the PS5 under the 'Network Map' > 'View List' ?

@@EclipseReviews spent a fortune on this router hoping for better connection on the xbox but its terrible, upload + download speed exactly the same as it was with virgin hub 3 but my latency has gone up 8, whole point of getting this router was because my latency been an issue....disaster, any ideas?
I have one question. Im using IPTV on one of my TVs (using its Mac adress) Can I use this IP tv on several TVs that would be connected to the same Wifi channel and use its Mac adress from that? Bridge? Happy for any advice !
Hi, I have not used iptv so not sure, but have reviewed the router options and can see there is one for ‘LAN IP’ which you can select an ‘ISP Profile’ and a manual option. But not sure if this can do what you require.
Do you guys recommend this router or should I wait. I been using a old asus router more then 7 years. It still works but I’m looking for a upgrade.
The newer model has been released Asus GT-AXE11000 but is still hard to get hold of from shops. As these routers are very expensive, if you do not need so many feature there is a lot of other excellent routers out there that will be a good upgrade from a 7 year old router :)
@@EclipseReviews Thank you for the reply. I have many things connected to the wifi. I probably look in that new asus router. That way I won't worry for another 7 years 😁. Thank you
how you getting such a low ping? im in Austin Texas and been trying to get under 20ms forever
Hi, what kind of internet connection are you on? What ping are you getting?
Can someone help i think i have it all set up but when i try the wifi i get no connection
i have this router currently, everything seems to work great except for when i attempt download a game on my pc whether it be steam or some other application. at times it will start at 50MB/s but it will drop all the way to 7MB/s and simply take hours for a simple 1GB download. its also just dropping to 0. my ethernet cables are cat6 and theyre all known good. not sure if there is a setting i need to adjust?
Does sound strange the router setting would cause this issue, sound like you have a good setup with a connection via ethernet. Does this happen to just games, can you download other files like apps ok? You could try first to see on the router settings, and look under QOS menu and switch this off if this is on. Also try to temporarily switch off the AiProtection to see if this is dropping the connections.
@@EclipseReviews ended up trying exactly what you mentioned. no resolution yet, very strange.
Is there a way to change the MTU of this router?
There is two places to change the MTU:
1. WAN Port MTU Menu options: Advanced Settings > WAN > Internet Connection (Tab) > Account Settings
2.LAN Port MTU Menu options: Advanced Settings > LAN > Switch Control (Tab) > Jumbo Frame
@@EclipseReviews Hi. Regarding 1). MTU does not show up unless I change the connection type to PPoE. My ISP prefers automatic. If I change to PPoE it does not connect. Regarding 2). MTU does not show up when I change the Jumbo Frame to enable. Or do you mean just put it on enable? Sorry but this is way beyong my knowledge base, never heard of Jumbo Frame before.
how do you enable qos for this router? is it an app or what
You can enable QOS via the app and via the Web interface (under game acceleration menu)

Hey man great video was wondering if you could help i was trying to add a openvpn through the vpn fusion tab using nordvpn server i add it the way it tells you in the manual and yt video and nordvpns website but when I goto activate the server it continues to load and spin and never connects was wondering if u could help thanks
sorry for the slow reply, is it these instructions you have followed (support.nordvpn.com/Connectivity/Router/1047410562/How-to-configure-your-Asus-router-running-original-firmware-AsusWRT.htm)? I have just tried it with NordVPN and I had to do it twice second time I changed the NordVPN server, not sure if this helped.
Hello. I have a quite special question that even the so called technicians of ASUS cannot answer. My ISP provided 2 x 1G internet connections. Each of these 2 connections has its own unique IP. My existing router (i.e. NOT this AX11000) has 2 WAN ports and so my current configuration is one 1G line to one WAN port of the router, meaning both WAN ports are filled. In the setup page of the router, it allows me to "bond" these 2 WANs into one to become a 2G connection (they call it load balance). I then connect the router to the PC using 2 LAN cables. On the PC side, these 2 LAN cables are plugged to a special LAN card which also enable bonding and load balancing. As such, I can enjoy the internet at 2G speed. Speedtest and Fast results are around 19XX Mbps.
Now I am considering doing the same thing with the AX11000. My plan is to use its 1G WAN port and also use 1 of its 4 LAN ports as a WAN port (my existing router can let me choose a LAN port as the secondary WAN (called it "WAN 2") in the setup page). Then bond them together to become a 2G internet connection. After that, I will connect the PC and the router using the router's 2.5G port. My understanding is that the 2.5G port of the AX11000 can serve as either WAN or LAN (and so I will use it as a LAN port). My new PC also has a 2.5G LAN port, meaning I no longer need the special LAN card anymore.
My problem is that the AX11000 isn't cheap and so I wish someone can enlighten me whether it can do what I am planning. Thank you!
I’m planning on getting this modem, but I want to know if it will raise my Xfinity bill. I get 1.2TB of fast internet, if I go over that I get charged $10 so I’m wondering if this modem gives out the fast internet without raising my bill. Ik I kind of ask mess up on the question... if there’s a time stamp on the video can you please notify me or if someone can please reply to my situation.
Hi, if you have 1.2TB data allowance using this router will not use up any more that your current router. Just it may help you connect to the WiFi quicker so instead of taking 20 minutes to download 200mb it will take 10 minutes, but of course this depends on your device and internet connection. I hope this makes sense :)
@@EclipseReviews thank you I really appreciate your help, I’m going to get the box now :). And for helping me I’ll help you, subscribed.
@@jaydizzle59 if you are afraid of going over your allowance limit for internet data, you can talk to your internet provider about how much extra it would cost you to add unlimited data to your internet package. (if it is an available option from your internet service provider) I have unlimited data added to my gigablast internet from cox, so I can use all the data that I want to without limits! It's practically a must if you have a household full of gamers like i do! :)
Do you recommend turning on the smart connect?
I personally prefer to manually separate the WiFi networks, as I now have a few WiFi 6 devices and the Xbox for gaming on a dedicated WiFi channel and can setup the advanced WiFi options. But I have used the smart connect feature and worked good except some 5Ghz devices would move over to the slower 2.4Ghz, it makes life easier with having the router choose the channels and makes for a simpler user experience.
@@EclipseReviews what latency do you get on your xbox? Has it improved with this router? On fifa i now only get 4 bars instead of 5 and my latency/ping has increased
anyone have issues with the rgb light? mine hasnt worked since i got it. i have it enabled on the dashboard and i have played around with the settings, but there is absolutely no light. possible damaged unit?
It's a button on the left side of the router called boost. Press and hold it for a second or two and the LED should come on. Not sure was is boosted when the button is pressed BUT the LED did come on.
For some reason, I'm able to login to the router's web gui through my laptop but on my desktop it can't find the server and both are connected to the same channel. Odd
That is strange, you may have already checked have you restricted which devices can access the Router GUI?
@@EclipseReviews Thanks for the reply, I did check and there was no restrictions. However, I'm not getting this issue anymore and I did mess around with some settings that wasn't related and just randomly worked on the desktop so... Ok. Haha
Hey man I’m wired and I have this router and I use an ATT modem and I still get lag spikes and 60-80 ping still and I’m West in Cali above Bay Area I don’t know why or how I lag? Anything I can do you fix it because all I do is game nothing else and I play Fortnite and 3on3
Do you currently have any of the features turned on (e.g. Game Boost or Open NAT, AI Protection )? Also your ATT modem could this be affecting the lag spikes.
Eclipse Reviews I do use game boost I’m don’t think I use open nat and ai protection will that help? And I think it’s probably my att modem because I’m not bridged because I get double nat type and always moderate nat type before my WiFi was coo like 20s and 30s but not it’s just all of a sudden terrible and I’m lost?
Open NAT is only good to help open ports on the router, so will not help.
Can you access any settings on the ATT modem, to see if you change anything to help.
Hi, can I use this on none WiFi 6 supported devices?
Yes, is backwards compatible with WiFi 5 / 4 / 3
@@EclipseReviews Nice, thanks 4 reply! :)
I play Fifa with wired connection with 54 ping. Can this router reduse my ping? (Wired connection)
Should see a improvement of 4-15 less ms if your current router is causing some of the trouble and not the game servers.
Should I enable game boost
Depends if you do Gaming, but if you only just occasional then switching it on does not slow anything down. As I my Router CPU/Memory is always fine.

what happens when you try to connect to the Wi-Fi channel? (e.g. does it manage to receive an IP address)
@@EclipseReviews sometimes i see the channel but most of the time i dont. And when i try to connect to it it just doesnt work. On my pc it says cant connect to this network. I dont even think the routeur receives any ip
@@MrAnonymzz You may have to complete a factory reset and try unplugging the router from the power to clear the memory. This will of course erase all your settings, so good to backup them first. Not sure what else Which could be causing this.
Have you check the WiFi settings menu for the specific channel to see anything strange.
@@EclipseReviews yes ive checked everything. But ive seen some people with this issue since this summer. It might be a firmware issue? Ill do a factory reset
@@EclipseReviews thank you !
Lol great explanations on specifics on important settings . “If you don’t know what your doing “ let’s move on.. .
I love this router, but I have a 1.2gbps internet speed, if I plug directly from modem to PC, I get 1300+mbps. But even hardwired from this router to my PC, I cannot break 1000mbps. Ugh. I can't find a solution!
Hi, the AX11000 only has one 2.5Gb port the rest are 1Gb. So even if you plug in the modem in to the router's 2.5Gb port then plug in your computer to the other LAN ports maximum you are going to get is 1Gb in speed. The only other way I can think of is perhaps use a switch from the modem, but this will only work with limited makes.
RT-AX86U vs GT-AX11000 , for pure gaming which one better? is there a any difference between them in gaming features ?
Both use the WTFast technology feature within the routers, if you are using ethernet to connect and play with no other devices using bandwidth to the router I would say that there would be not much difference. But, if you have several demanding devices like IP Cameras, Multiple people upload/downloading, then the GT-AX11000 would be much better as it has the faster CPU and 2.5 GBe port if you can take advantage of this and the extra 5Ghz WiFi band.
Does it have to be connected to my at&t router?
Ethernet cable from wall to MODEM. Your modem then connects to the ROUTER via another Ethernet cable. Hope this helps, if you haven’t already figured it out.
Should I enable ipv6 for Xbox
I believe that the XBox can handle IPv6 so would be fine. you might want to check first to see if your internet provider support IPv6.
when i have IPV6 enabled i have my wan light come on red occasionally but i still have access to the internet i don't get disconnected, but its annoying seeing this and makes me believe something is causing an issue has anyone experienced this issue? when i go the routers webpage it also says im disconnected but again i still have access to the internet with no interruption thanks
Have you checked that the correct options for your ISP is selected in the IPv6 menu option? I had the problem until I changed the “Connection type” and “Auto Configuration Setting” for my ISP.
What port is the gaming port?

Perhaps I change the title to help with sleeping 😀
ah and why my network ping is 15 and yours is like 4. what king of network it ping ???
I believe that the ping depends on your internet connection type, I have 1Gb Firbe to the home. Also have you tried changing your DNS setting, I use 1.1.1.1/dns/ this will help load web pages quicker.
@@EclipseReviews i changed my dns setting in the windows 7 setting. But in the router you mean i will have to change the "DNS SETUP WAN" or "the setup dns and wins server" ???
@@ak3d1 21:32 in the video, I mean to update the router settings under “WAN DNS Setting” to the details on the webpage above. Just a suggestion if you are still using Windows 7, might be an idea to upgrade to Windows 10 for security now 🙂
@@EclipseReviews i did it , but nothing really changed...
The only other things that can affect a higher ping is a bad WiFi connection, security software (Mcafee,Avast,Norton) firewalls as they inspect packets.
From what I believe any amounts below a ping of 20ms is considered excellent 👍
WAY TOO MANY ADS, I won't be back...
Sorry about the ads, TH-cam adds them but will see why there is so many.

Hi, you are lucky to have such good internet speeds.
I have just reviewed the setting on the router, you can connect 1 ISP WAN connection to the ASUS Routers Primary WAN port. Then choose ‘Enable Dual WAN’ which will allow you to select the Secondary WAN port on the router (e.g. LAN 1,2,3,4). You then can choose the ‘Dual WAN Mode’ which in your case would be ‘Load Balance’. So from the options I see you should be able to do what you want on the AX11000, but on the FAQ from the settings page here on Dual WAN: www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1011719. It says “ Note: The system will separate Internet sessions based on the load between the Primary WAN and Secondary WAN, instead of the overall bandwidth or overall data rate.” So not sure if this actually saying if you for example run a speed test it will just use the bandwidth of one 1Gb connection and not bond the connection like you have now.
I will try and see if I can try it out on my router this weekend and let you know 100%
@@EclipseReviews Thanks for the detailed reply. After I submitted my above post, I have done some googling and found that a newer model is on the horizon: AXE-11000 and so I will wait for that. Unfortunately, this new AXE model will only become available in a region as soon as its government approves using 6Ghz for Wifi 6E and so it might be US-only at launch.
@@EclipseReviews HI - Have you tried to see if the ASUS actually "bond" the 2 ISP connection into one? Does it then output the combined bandwidth via the 2.5G port? Really eager to know as I'm going to set it up this way. THanks
How can i use the 2.5 ge port? I try to connect my PS5 to that port and it does not work.
The port should work fine with the PS5 and not require any configuration. Have you checked under the menu 'WAN' to make sure this is not set as the WAN (internet) port. Can you see the PS5 under the 'Network Map' > 'View List' ?
