ASUS RT-AX89X AX6000 Dual Band WiFi 6 Router, 802.11ax 12 streams 6000Mbps , Lifetime Free Internet Security, supports AiMesh, MU-MIMO, 8 Gb LAN ports, Dual 10G ports (10GBase-T & 10G SFP+), VPN, Gaming & Streaming

Pros: TWO 10Gbe ports! (Well, one is sfp that requires an adapter.)

Overall Review: I'm coming from the Netgear RAX120 router. I prefer ASUS routers much better, and I was waiting for the Cadillac of ASUS WiFi 6 router to finally become available, and here it is! WOW! This blows Netgear out of the water. The router is VERY large. I can fit it around my head. The router arrived in the biggest router box I have ever seen. So keep that in mind when trying to think of where you're going to place the router. I constantly get 400+Mbps on all my WiFi 5 devices.

Pros: high quality and strong signal

Cons: the fan has noise at night

Overall Review: more stable than my old router, I hope ASUS can add a feature to stop the fan when the temperature is < 60 °C or provide a timer that can stop the fan at night.

Pros: - Wifi range is much larger now - I don't even have to use AiMesh as I did before. - Smoothness/Stability - everything just works - video steams, work VPN, torrent DLs... all work perfectly at the same time, which previously was not possible. - AiMesh - ASUS mesh technology which I might use in the future. - Virtual networks I can create, so I can simulate my older Wifi network setting - pretty cool if one wants to avoid reenter Wifi credentials in 30+ Alexa devices.

Cons: - Price

Overall Review: I had ASUS routers before but with all IoT devices connected to Alexa, the family started to have connectivity issues like randomly dropped connections or video streaming interrupted.

Pros: everything so far, even the size

Overall Review: Using this router for one week now in a AiMesh setup with the RT-AX89X as the AiMesh Router and a AX11000 as the AiMesh Node. Setup could not be easier, everything went flawless and both working together like a charm. I now have 5 bars everywhere in my whole house! The Ring security cameras working much better now with faster response times, even the iRobot app is showing dark green Wi-Fi coverage everywhere. Using Xfinity Gigabit and on my Samsung S20 phone I do get for the first time 900 Mbps down. All in all I’m very happy with this router and especially the AiMesh working perfect for me now.

Pros: I have not had the temperature-related problems experienced by others. The antenna connection is much more solid than prior Asus high end WiFI routers.

Cons: 1. In my AIMesh network, the ASUS RT-AX86U drops regularly (every few days), even when hardwired backhaul. Requires Power Off/On to reconnect as part of AIMesh. Not clear if this is a function of the AX89X or the AX86U 2. Some IP addresses do not show up. I have never had this issue with 6-8 prior various ASUS routers. 3. More than 3 months since last firmware update!!! On this new device - seems to be unresponsive to address multiple customer concerns.

Overall Review: Generally, recommended - with the reservations listed above.

Pros: WiFi 6 Long range Easy to setup

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: Great product that works flawlessly. I have not had to reset the router yet either.

Pros: Fast. Easy setup and configuration. 8 Lan ports.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I replaced my Apple Airport Extreme with this router. All my computers, printers and AppleTVs are hardwired. But after adding in more and more wireless devices, HomePods, Wemo switches, Eve lights and other devices the Apple Router worked fine but there was beginning to be a bit of a lag time. This router fixed that issue. Price may seem high and I don't use half of the features this router offers but it is well worth the investment. Both for now and future network expansion.

Pros: Easy setup. Firmware already updated to the latest version on the router. Strong wireless signal to my farthest devices around the house. Signal reaches all my outdoor cameras (on house) so no more wi-fi extenders needed.

Cons: None so far, but will update the review if issues start to arise.

Overall Review: I replaced my ISP router with the ASUS RT-AX89X AX6000 because It had a hard time reaching / handling the 60+ wireless devices around the house. This router has no problem. I'm happy with the router so far.
