Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

The Asus RT-AX68U is a WiFi 6 router discussed by users mainly in the context of Asus's older AC-series lineup. One commenter running three RT-AC68U routers in an AiMesh network, in a plaster-lathe-brick home, called the RT-AX68U a good replacement after one of the older units failed. That same user noted AiMesh had solved major signal problems in their hard-to-cover home. Another commenter asked how the RT-AX68U compares to the Asus RT-AX82U, specifically wondering about 2.4GHz performance, though no direct answer or personal experience was shared. A third commenter asked whether the antennas can be unscrewed, suggesting removable antennas might be needed to add a rear cooling fan. This raises a possible concern about heat management.
