The GT-AX6000 is purposefully built in a way that makes opening it up nearly impossible, with multiple warranty seals and poorly placed antenna connectors that block access to the internal components. The design essentially discourages users from performing repairs or upgrades. I detail how, despite the challenges, I managed to pry open the case, only to discover that doing so could void the warranty or even break the router.
Once inside, I was able to examine the router’s powerful hardware, which includes dual Broadcom chips for both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi bands, a quad-core 2.0GHz Broadcom processor, 1GB of RAM, and 256MB of flash storage.
I also ran multiple multi-client stress tests, simulating various real-world scenarios with five different devices simultaneously streaming 4K and 1080p content, browsing the web, and using VoIP. The router performed admirably on the 5GHz band, handling the heavy load with minimal latency and throughput issues. However, on the 2.4GHz band, the performance was more inconsistent, with some devices experiencing occasional slowdowns.
If you’re considering this router, be prepared for a design that makes repairs nearly impossible and a slightly mixed performance depending on the frequency band. But if you’re looking for a router that can handle heavy multi-device usage, the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AX6000 offers solid performance despite its design shortcomings. Keep reading for an in-depth analysis of its strengths and weaknesses.
