question. I have an ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 & 2 ROG Rapture GT6s. I have a large area to cover. I was told by ASUS Tech support before I bought them that they will work together. Well I was given the AXE16000 but I bought the 2 GT6s for the extended space. I told them I planned on using the AXE16000 as my main router and the 2 ROG GT6s as 2 nodes or what ever you want to call them. They told me they will work. Today when I called tech support they told me you cannot use them this way. Both devices under their specs say AiMesh capable. Are you familiar with these? If so do you know if they will work like I am hoping they will? If they do where do you recommend I go for quality support to get help setting them up. ASUS customer tech support is terrible. I read my serial number to the guy 10 times and I swear they were just not listening. Also for your info. I plan to have my AXE16000 connected to my ISP modem. My ISP does not have a built in router/wifi. So I will not need to put anything on their equipment in bridge mode. So the AXE16000 will be my router and I will have the 2 GT6s spread out far away on other side of building. My AXE16000 is next to and connected to a 16 port gigabit switch. I have Ethernet ran in the walls all the way out to where both GT6s are located. So the internet will be supplied from my AXE16000 through Cat6 to my GT6s so they will not be receiving WiFi signal from AXE16000 to the GT6s but instead they will be directly connected via Ethernet. I am hoping I can have the 2 GT6s receive wired internet and then broadcast WiFi from there to devices on that side of building. Will this work and how do I go about doing this? Thanks for your help in advance.

Premise tech here. In a small living area like that, you shouldn’t have any issues. What internet speed do you have? This router can handle up to 2.5 gigs so as long as your speeds match up you’ll be okay. The main restriction is having a modem. Modems are ass. If possible in your area I’d suggest getting a fiber line instead of coax.

@@Himothy1243 I have 1.2 gigs of speed. So would this thing actually help me in any way?

I have that newer white box with Comcast, just wondering if I can replace that with this and if there would be any point to it

i believe you can but i don't have that kind of setup to test to see if it works that way

Asus allows you to create Aimesh network with any of their current Asus line of routers. I recently purchased the AX11000 pro and I used my old Asus AX3000 as an Access point, creating a the Mesh network. If you dont have a ASus main router, you can just turn it into a AP during setup. I want to purchase this so I can complete my network. Router in the living room, One of these in my bedroom and the other in my basement. that would cover the entire home.

No not necessarily

@@FishBeeProductions oh that's great and is there any settings that you recommend to mess with the modem? Or just leave everything to the gt6?

I don't have that one to test but yes I would think so

Yea

No it's just a router replacement or upgrade.

not sure about that

By buying it and if you can’t get it to work, return it

You need a WiFi provider. If you don’t your just gonna have a paperweight

​@@Himothy1243no you dont

You pay a cable/ internet to connect (provide service). They loan you a modem and crappy router, you replace the crappy router with one of these

Good Internet costs around $50-60 / mo for first 1-2 years

possibly, i haven't tried to hook it up that way

Yes you can. You can chain together as many routers as you want as long as the main router can support the same speeds as this one’s output.

How?

Unfortunately I haven't tried that one

No, it's not better than Asus ROG AX1600

Sounds like you may not have set something up correctly...
