ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000

When it was new in 2022 it packed a punch it was fast, Easy to function, strong signal quality, Beautifully designed worked with new and older devices so didn’t have any compatibility issues, has options to adjust bands to work with older wireless devices, But after 2 years of usage after that first year that final year it just started to become a bit unstable needed to be restarted more frequently was getting a bit warmer then to the point when the device just ultimately failed, It was and is a great router but definitely was good I chose the 3 yrs protection plan when purchasing Asurion they covered me and reimbursed the full cost and I went back with Asus brand Rog-Be98 PRO , But 2 years is rather normal for one to stop working under high usage , I would recommend this product For a low priced good gaming router , I loved every minute of how this big guy performed everyday 24/7 2 years and 2 months managed to hold 25+ devices continuously alot of download and upload continuously , download speeds my internet provider of 2 gigs 50 up I would see 2125.16 Down and 52.60 Up Continuously on this device even till the very end it performed spectacular I would recommend for a home that is a light to moderate gamer but if you have multiple gaming devices running at once it will last about the same time but I think it could last longer for a moderate gamer I wouldn’t say this is a high end gaming router but will get the job done

I replaced m old combo unit with this and the arris S33 (only because Ive had a lot of issue with nighthawks performance as a combo unit- mother in-laws 2 story home has excellent signal upstairs with the nighthawk unit we bought and zero signal downstairs despite the house being common construction with no copper shielding or concrete between the floors- the home was retrofitted and the signal lead for the coax is upstairs with the bedrooms) that being said she switched to a lower version of this unit and she has signal throughout the entire house now (truly omni-directional signal unlike her previous unit and they were about the same cost) The size of the unit isnt an issue for me but it is very large, each signal band can be divided into 3 groups from what i saw in the app and each can have its own permissions, each device can be optimized an even have its access to internet blocked reduced, and a few other things. Kids devices can be filtered to appropriate content by age you choose and further restricted if needed, one touch password/network sharing broadcast, multiple networks allow you to setup guest networks easier, the 6G isnt very viable at the moment and rumors of 7G coming out kinda make it gimmicky at this time.... 2 separate 5G signals is nice and the range is much better than my old arris surfboard SB0..... the lights can be turned off but theyre kinda nice depending on the situation and theyre fairly customizable, theres more ut the take away should be- very solid, fast (my 1gig service is 1gig unlike my last unit that was 79mbps-300mbps wireless), user friendly, app security, guest network, household appliance and app network.

Good device, I would have given 5 out of 5. But the wifi extenders from Asus was very very bad. It was a junk. So my full home wifi is bad. But only this device provides 1GBPS connectivity on my wifi, no issues whatsoever.

Este dispositivo necesita de ciertos conocimientos técnicos avanzados, o bien, de una sólida voluntad de aprendizaje e investigación como para sacarle provecho. Pero una vez que está todo configurado correctamente, es una maravilla. En mi caso, lo compré para reemplazar el módem de la compañía de teléfonos completamente, bueno, estrictamente ese se quedó en modo Bridge solamente para recibir la señal de la fibra óptica, pero toda la gestión del enlace y administración de red la hace este dispositivo el cual se volvió el centro de gestión de toda mi red en mi casa y oficina en casa. Tengo una red WiFi 6 exclusivamente para mis consolas, la gaming pc y algunos NAS y servidores, una red WiFi 5 para dispositivos móviles, y una red de visitantes 2.4. También hago uso intensivo de VPNs y Firewall. Además como tiene un par de puertos de 10G Ethernet, pude conectar un switch Ubiquiti para expandirlos y de esta manera puedo enlazar los equipos más importantes para mi trabajo y para mi centro de entretenimiento. En general los dispositivos más críticos en mi red local, utilizan cable, no wireless, así que pues es ideal que tenga estas capacidades. Puntos negativos: * Tuve que instalar la versión beta del firmware para tener acceso a ciertas funciones que todavía no están disponibles en la distribución estable del firmware. * No permite instalar un ad blocker, por ejemplo, entre otras cosas que perfectamente podría dado su procesador y sus características de hardware. Pero bueno, estas otras cosas de las que hablo de por sí las tenía implementadas en mi homelab, en el cual tengo un clúster de Raspberry Pi + Pi-Hole dentro de mi red, así que pues no perdí esa capacidad, pero si creo que al tener un precio tan elevado, y unas specs de hardware tan sobresalientes, sería razonable que se pudiera hacer el ad blocking e instalar otras aplicaciones en el router. * A mí en particular, me molesta que tenga "leds", pero bueno, es un mal menor porque se puede apagar por completo.

Pros -el unico con 4 antenas 2.4ghz 5g -5g1 y 6g . -16000 megabits por segundo (dependiendo la velocidad que recibe) -gaming accelerator con menor ping para mejorar la fluidez y menos perdida de paquetes. -esta diseñado 100% pensando en gamers! -la variedad de colores de personalizacion es buena con diferentes comportamientos . -se configura muy facil al entrar el modem te pide inmediatamente las contraseñas para cada antena,sin necesidad de poner o buscar la de fabrica! Contras. -TE RECOMIENDO ANTES DE INSTALAR SI USARAS LA APP DE CEL COMPRES UN ADAPTADOR DE USB-C A USB NORMAL YA QUE EL MODEM SOLO TIENE ENTRADA USB BASICA Y ESTO NO AYUDA SI BUSCAS INSTALARLO O CONFIGURARLOS ATRAVES DEL APP CREO QUE ESTE ES UN PROBLEMA DE DISEÑO PARA UN MODEM DE ALTA GAMA NO SE PUEDE DAR EL LUJO! -el modem solo tiene 4 puertos lan , minimo un avion como este deberia tener 6 y el ideal 8. -si bien lo compre en los dias prime que fueron definitorios para invertir en el gracias al descuento de amazon, creo que en costo normal mencionando los dos detalles anteriores el precio y las carencias que expongo es algo decepcionante sin dejar de disfrutarlo! En resumen si es lo mejor dentro de sus carencias pero siento que tiene mucho campo de mejora sin dejar aun lado su renombre y caracteristicas! AGRADEZCO A AMAZON SU ENTREGA UN DIA ANTES DE LA FECHA DESIGNADA Y LA PAQUETE DEL MODEM LLEGO MUY BIEN SELLADA E INTACTA EN TODA SU CAJA!

I recently purchased two Asus ROG AXE16000 routers with high expectations given their premium price point and the reputable brand behind them. However, my experience has been far from satisfactory. Both routers ceased functioning within the first year, which was a major letdown considering their supposed high quality and durability. The process that followed was even more frustrating. I sent both routers for repair, and it has been one and a half months with no resolution in sight. The lack of timely updates and the extended repair time have significantly inconvenienced me, disrupting my work and daily activities that rely heavily on a stable internet connection. I had high hopes for these routers, especially given Asus' reputation in the tech industry and the premium I paid, expecting top-notch performance and reliability. Unfortunately, the product's durability and the subsequent service have been disappointing. It's disheartening to encounter such issues with a brand that I trusted for quality and excellence. This experience has made me reconsider my future purchases from Asus, especially for their high-end products. I hope this review helps others to weigh the service and product reliability aspects carefully before investing in such expensive equipment.
