It has repeater mode..

for my honest opinion i would recommend the ax53u, it is better than the ax1800hp..

I've a similar case. Which one did you go with? How is it?

usually my test po 24x7 for 1 week, wala naman ako na encounter na sudden drop of connection.. while i have 5 to 7 devices connected during the test..

Dual core 4vpe

Hi Juan, this ax53u is actually great, but everything has a limitation specially with house construction materials and actual range, if you are still having issues with range, i suggest you try the asus triband routers, their AImesh is the best for wireless backhaul try to check the zen wifi xt8 and xt12..

Hi Dan, one of the reason po kaya minsan mabagal over 2.4ghz is dahil sa wifi interference with other wifi na 2.4ghz sa area mo po.. anung speed mo sa 2.4ghz at sa 5ghz?

@@JKChavez naka converge plan 50mbps po kami. Ang reading ng 2.4 ngayon is nasa 60 to 70. Then yung 5g doble po. Pero kahapon nireset ko sya and nag disable po ako ng wlan ng stock modem. Gumanda po ang bato ni 2.4

@@danbryanaustria4512 un, ganun po talga pag maraming 2.4ghz wifi sa area nag sisiksikan ung frequency nila, kaya minsan mabagal, tama po ung turn off ung sa default modem since sa new wifi router na kayo magconnect.. unlike sa 5ghz mas malaki available channels kaya less interference.. :)

@@JKChavez sa inyo ko din po napanood yung pag off ng wlan hehe. Thank you. Big help for us. Sa review nyo din kaya ako napabili ng asus router. Mamamaximize na namin ang aming plan without hassle

Hi cheese, im sorry im having a hard time understanding your issue,

how many devices are we talking about? if you have more than 25+ devices i would suggest getting better wifi router. 20+25 devices this would be okay and also great for gaming..

@@JKChavez 5 cp, 4 laptop and 2 pc but only 1 pc for gaming and the rest are just for light browsing or netflix.

@@bboyven this ax53u will be just fine with your setup.. :)

ung limit d ko na try max setup pero 100Mbps working.. pag nag speedtest ka papalo ng more than at first then normalize sa bandwidth limit mo..

I dont have the unit anymore, but if i can remeber it right it is only cat5e.. :)

Hi, have let us try to isolate if the issue is coming from your VPN, if no vpn is configured and directly connecting to ax53u, what speed do you get?

@@JKChavez without the VPN I got my contract worth 100mb (around 115mb in reality). But I sent the router back and will now probably go for the AX58U or AX59U..also because the AX53U doesn't have VPN fusion. I am hopeful the AX58U or the AX59U will do the trick. I will also have 300mb internet starting the 1st of October..do you have any experience with the AX58U or AX59U?

Hi, they almost perform the same sa range, pero mas lamang ng kunti ang ax53u based on my experience..

@@JKChavez i assume sir meron ka dati na classic linksys wrt54g, on par ba yung range ni ax53u kay wrt54g?

@@bumblebee4520 un lang, d ako nagkaroon ng wrt54g before, nag start ako sa mga ea series ng linksy, kaya d ko alam performance po nun.. then started sa asus 1200hp..

@@JKChavez ohhh i see. Thanks pa rin po sa mga quick replies. Subscribed! 💯

actually ping command lang po sya.. open command prompt, ping a public ip or website para ma test kung may internet, pag may reply may internet pang timeout walang internet po.. sample.. ping google.com

I have not tested the ax55, but currently on review test of the rt-ax1800hp (looks the same with ax55). If you dont need 4 lan ports the ax53u is definitely a good choice and with the new firmware it is now capable of aimesh..

@@JKChavez got it sir, what about AX53U vs TPLINK AX23?

@@user-ng8pj4cm9r i must have overlook this reply, definitely the ax53u..

for me, i would choose the ax53u over the ax1800hp, in my experience, it has a better range..

@@JKChavez i was think the same, because the layout of the AX53U antenna more suitable for beamforming, but unfortunately Asus website didn't explain the antena dbi, and the AX1800HP has longer antenna. Anyway thank you for the feedback.

​@@maugakmaupunyaemail bro jadinya ambil apa ax53u or rtax1800hp?

@@maugakmaupunyaemail bagus gan jangkauannya? maksudnya HP apa btw? thanks

Hi Billy, i dont have ax53u unit anymore, but it is confirmed that it should obtain the aimesh capability with the firmware..

@@JKChavez Salamat sir for the response.

I have not tested the ax53 of tplink. for my honest opinion, if you just need a wireless router for internet service or accessing the internet that ASUS ax53u is more than enough, if you have home media server\ NAS, that ax3000 will help help a lot for network traffic. now you are getting both at the same price, technically the tplink wins for its bigger bandwidth. (but in I am in your position I would still get the ASUS router, it is not that I am bias, it is just because i love ASUS mesh network)

@@JKChavez OK thanks for clearing my doubts 🙂

Hi, for my suggestion, i would definitely recommend this ax53u as one of asus entry level router. but if you have money to spare get the TUF ax5400. both should be able to cover the 2 story house , as much as possible place it on a strategic location like in the middle of the house if possible. but do consider that if you are farther away from the router, speed deteriorate, so a mesh system would also be good to consider to have the best speed in all area. (you can start with those ax53u and tufax5400 since they are aimesh capable).

@@JKChavez Thanks man

Hi Xpike, kaya po nya sa kaya, pero try to check by connecting directly sa modem-router mo po using a lan cable kung na aachieve mo ung 500mbps, kung nakukuha mo actual 500mbps, kayang kaya po nitong ax53u..

both are good options, i would choose the cheaper one, but if we wont be considering the price, i would choose ax53u..

Hi, yes po, all routers umiinit lalo na kung gamit na gamit sya, and router lang na natest ko na nagka heat issue is ung from dlink r15, pag sobrang init nag drop ang mga connection, issue kasi nung dlink is nasa tabi ng window which is naarawan pala.. basta place mo lang router mo ng hindi kulob or hindi naarawan it will work fine..

@@JKChavez thank you sir!

Hi Darryl, thanks for the info, yes po nag update sila, and i can say that this wifi router is already great then dinagdagan pa ng aimesh.. :)

Yes po, pwede po.. Operating mode : Access Point, Media Bridge, Repeater, Router

In terms of performance and coverage Mas okay si ax53u and at the same time wifi 6 router sya, , ang pinaka lamang ni ac59u v2 is mesh capability and cheaper compare sa ax53

@@JKChavez pero kung powerful thrd party router lang at hndi ko naman po blak mg aimesh. Dto po ako sa ax53u?

@@erickjohncantuba Yes sir, good po yang ax53, but if you still have money to spare marami pang available na powerful router like the ax88u etc.. pero i think sulit na ung ax53... :)

Mas malawak po b range nto compare ky tenda ac23 po?
