There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I run a NAS with a 10g NIC with sfp+ module installed for fiber and this run goes directly into the 10g fiber input of this router. This is where I store both music and movies. Music on an SSD and movies in a RaidZ Array. The signal leaving the NAS stays in the light realm without worry of RFI degrading the signal. The other ASUS 10g port (copper) runs to my Win10 machine which I use to rip movies and music from. So it is incredibly convenient and fast to have the two computers communicate at speeds faster than even SATA III. Obviously, that's how you transfer movies to a headless NAS - via the network. My movies start around 1.05 - 1.1 GB/s and ramp down to a consistent 450-465 MB/s which I assume is the drive array's write speed limitation. Can't complain there. 4k movies though are a bit more rough. They range anywhere from 50 MB/s to 150 MB/s. They will however, often ramp up near the end (the last 30%) to the theoretical max of 450 MB/s. Still, this is much faster than a standard 1G NIC.
I decided after buying this router, that I wanted to go all fiber for my LAN. So the output of the router goes through a 12" copper CAT8 and then into a media converter where it is converted to MM fiber. I use all OM4 cables in my network since they're so cheap to buy. After the ethernet output is converted into fiber, a 50' run all the way to a fiber switch (4 ports are fiber plus 10 copper) is necessary. I have one fiber port going to my; LG OLED, Nvidia ShieldTV Pro and a high end DAC (PS Audio Directstream). Each run utilizes another media converter right before each device so it can connect to their ethernet ports. It's very important to keep all copper runs as short as possible so they pick up the least amount of interference. Each media converter also has it's own transformer PS (or pure LPS) instead of a switching PS. This is also super important! My MKV rips have never looked or sounded better even through an Oppo UDP-205 bluray player. And it's not by a small margin. I will never go back to spinning discs again as with a NAS you not only get the convenience of a Netflix type UI, but if you set up your network right, you will get far less RF and AC noise than even a bluray player is capable of. Superlative results from a fiber LAN. For streaming music, I own a mini PC running ROON core right near the router which also converts copper to fiber and then back to copper. This is because it will electrically isolate each device from each other. It's called galvanic isolation. And it pays off in spades, trust me on that one. I could not be happier with how my music sounds now that I've made the switch to fiber. Fiber inherently has a lower jitter rate than it's copper cousin (you know, that disowned cousin?). I'm lucky enough to have 1G fiber into my home as well. Having considerably less RF interference and jitter has been a game changer in my hi-fi system. And all of this costs less than one of those super, uber expensive 'audiophile' switches that are only a band-aid to the inherent problem to begin with. Can't recommend this router enough if you have a similar setup to mine.
Caution when you read the reviews: if the review is about the AX11000, it's referring to the ASUS GT-AX11000 router, not the AX89X
It works well ...but how you set it up is critical. I bought this router for the fast speed and the large ram; I don't have any wifi 6 devices yet.
I have an unusually long house with 4000 square feet, 3 stories, including a detached cottage which we run as an Airbnb. We have a Synology NAS, 3 desktops, 6 laptops (including 2Macbooks) 3 I-phones, 3 kindles, 2 TV's we use for streaming and that's not counting guest usage in our cottage. Xfinity says we use 900 MB- 1.1 TB of data per month. The new AX89X lives in a small closet with the Synology NAS, switches, and audio distribution amplifiers. Heat would be problematic but I bought a tiny 4-inch fan to ventilate the closet.
My system has 6 routers: The AX89X, 2 RT-AC88Us, 3 Blue caves, 5 of the ASUS routers are linked via Aimesh at our main house and the one remaining is connected as a "downstream" router for guests in our detached cottage. All the routers are connected via ethernet cabling. (So far Aimesh only supports guest wifi at the main router, so one router not on mesh)
I formerly had at RT-AC88u as the main router, but my system had unexplained tiny lags. I tried getting a faster internet contract: Xfinity @1GB/sec then replaced my DOCSIS 3.0 modem with a Motorola MB 8600. Better, but still some lags. I wondered whether the dual-core, 256k RAM router was overwhelmed by my system.
I thought the fast 2.2 GHz quad-core processor with 1Gb of RAM would work better. Like magic, the RT-AX89X has solved this problem of lag! On ethernet, I get about 950 MB/sec downloads and on wireless near the nodes up to 550 mb/sec.
As I read so many people's difficulties I decided to set up the router before connecting it to my system. I downloaded the latest firmware: release date 7/9/20 (and updated again on 3/4/2021). Then I turned the router on connecting it ONLY to my laptop and installed the firmware.
Then I tried to"restore" settings saved in a file from my RT-AC88u, but the AX89X wouldn't accept it.. (I was surprised because most ASUS routers can accept other ASUS router settings.) I connected a second laptop to the GUI of the RT-AC88u and manually copied the settings in common. Much to my surprise, all the ASUS routers I had been using had to be FACTORY RESET before the initial connection to the AX89X as an Aimesh node. For my BlueCave and 88u routers, I had to search online for the second method to factory reset as their reset buttons didn't seem to operate as expected. (power off, hold the WPS button for 30 sec while powering back on, wait until the light blinks before letting go.)
There are some interesting differences in the setup choices with this unit. I turned WPS off as I don't use it.
The ASUS feature "smart connect" allows the simultaneous broadcast of both 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz with a single SSID. If this feature is turned on, channel bandwidth, control channel, and extension channel cannot be changed from Auto. This doesn't seem to matter.
As with other ASUS routers, there is minimal help on "Wireless-Professional settings" in the manual. But you definitely need to look at the settings because it can make a huge difference. You can search online for suggested tweaks. There is an amazing amount of customization that you can do. I believe that it is the necessity for tweaking that is the source of many people's difficulties with this router. Just a small setting change will make a difference in some device's ability to connect with the router. My daughter has a Macbook--one of the latest models--which would disconnect if 2.4 GHz roaming assist was turned on. It connects at the full 1GB speed. There are 2 choices in Mu-MIMO; I picked the one that was more inclusive. You will need to try out different setting combinations to find the best for you and your devices. Some authors suggest setting the preamble to "short" and to disable Tx bursting. This did not work well for my Thinkpad X1 Carbon. After making a change in wifi settings, I found it helps to reboot all the connected aimesh nodes.
I'm guessing that the March 2021 firmware is much better than the older versions, and look forward to versions to come. It now supports WPA3.
I discovered a switch in my network that had gone bad--so I decided to replace it with the latest QNAP (QSWM408-2C) and connected it to the AX89X with the 10G SPF+ connector which works great! (but my internet provider only offers 1G)
One complaint: I have many devices listed in the "manually assigned IP around the DHCP" list. This allows you to nickname each device so you can easily see it in the list of connected devices as well as give a consistent address to known devices. After entering everything in and pressing "apply" you would think the router would remember your entries. While the DHCP reservations and IP address persist, some of the names change to "New device" on reboot.
HIDDEN BENEFIT FOR PARENTS:
The parental controls work REALLY WELL on this router. I can set time limits on all my daughter's devices. When I did this on my previous router, a (dual-core) Asus RT-AC88U it would somehow slow the internet to a crawl on the affected devices. This doesn't happen with the new router: the Quad-core makes all the difference!
All in all, I am HAPPY with this router. So far (5.5 months) so good...

But 8 antennas? Really? And I could have done with a functional rectangle over the head massager octogon.
