My trusty ASUS RT-AC87U router, which had supported my 600 Mbps subscription connected to the Ziggo network since 2014, started showing regular problems on the 5 GHz band in the last two years, resulting in frequent internet outages. Furthermore, the speed no longer seemed as reliable as before, understandable given its respectable age of 10 years. Nevertheless, this router has more than proven its worth.
So I decided it was time for an upgrade. After extensive research into reviews and comparing different routers, my choice fell on the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000. As a passionate gamer, it quickly became clear that this was the ideal choice for me. While not cheap, its impressive capabilities more than justify the price.
What really sets this router apart is its WiFi 6E functionality on the 6 GHz band, a perfect match for my MacBook Pro. Since installing this router I have clearly noticed a significant improvement in internet speed and stability. In addition, it has two special 10 Gbps ports, ideal for wired connections from my PlayStation or Xbox, which ensures the ultimate gaming experience.
I also appreciate the fact that it has two separate 5GHz bands, which now allows much faster speeds for wireless gaming on my console.
Additionally, when streaming content via Netflix or Sony Pictures Core, at bitrates up to 80 Mbps, I've noticed that load times have been significantly reduced and picture quality has improved.
Although the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 is said to have a drawback according to various reviews, namely its enormous size, I do not really consider this a problem, but rather a point of consideration. The size can be problematic if you have little space next to your TV cabinet or in the meter cupboard, especially because it cannot be mounted on the wall. But considering its specs, this is a minor thing compared to its impressive performance.
In retrospect, I realize that I should have purchased this router much sooner, as I now realize that I was lagging behind in terms of network performance. For people who do a lot of streaming and online gaming, I highly recommend this router. You will have no regrets.
