In the days of telecommuting and self-discipline, many people deeply feel the importance of the home network environment. Even if there is an Internet connection at home, how it connects to its own PC and tablet, the comfort of communication will increase with each passing day. Even if a telecommuting environment is established in the corner of the living room, Wi-Fi slows down and productivity decreases.
Although there are many reasons why Wi-Fi is slow, "the communication specifications used are very old" and "the airwaves of Wi-Fi routers are very weak" are more classic. Even those who were previously unimpressed by the speed and performance of Wi-Fi routers should have noticed the weaknesses of the Wi-Fi environment during this month of self-discipline.
What is recommended to such people is Asustek's new product "TUF-AX3000". The latest Wi-Fi standard "IEEE802.11ax", also known as "Wi-Fi 6", can communicate at speeds up to 2402 Mbps. As of last year, when it comes to the Wi-Fi 6, which is a special specification for high-end models, the actual price is about 19,800 yen, and it has features conducive to the enjoyment of online games, so it should be said to be a cheap version of high value-added models.
It is difficult for a Wi-Fi router to make up its mind without a strong incentive to transfer. Not to mention if you already have a Wi-Fi network at home. But can that Wi-Fi network be used anywhere in the home? Is there a problem that you can only watch YouTube when the radio waves are strong, or that you can't update your mobile app?
So, this time, we want to explain the charm of TUF-AX3000 while verifying the gap between the old Wi-Fi5 (IEEE802.11ac) router and the latest TUF-AX3000.
Asustek "TUF-AX3000" is a Wi-Fi 6 router that supports a maximum communication speed of 2402 Mbps. The actual selling price is about 19,800 yen, and the price is moderate, which is very suitable for people who want to establish a communication environment conducive to games.
The settings are a little easier.
When it comes to the Wi-Fi 6 router, which actually sells for more than 20, 000 yen, I think of the previous comment on "RT-AX3000". The hardware part can be considered to be almost the same. The installed CPU (Broadcom6750) and built-in interface classes also remain the same. However, it is worthy of the fans' pursuit. Compared with the unified black RT-AX3000, the yellow lines decorated as contrast colors and the "TUF Gaming" logo in the center of the body are designed to incite the excitement of the game.
The maximum communication speed of TUF-AX3000 is 2402 Mbps,Wi-Fi6 when Wi-Fi6 is used in the 5 GHz band and 574 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band. When connecting a Wi-Fi 5 device, the upper limit is 867 Mbps if it is in the 5 GHz band. Some products even support 4804 Mbps, if it is a high-end model of the Wi-Fi 6 router, but most of the key Wi-Fi 6 compatible laptops are limited to 2402 Mbps connections. In other words, the specification of TUF-AX3000 communication speed can be said to be "good Yanmei".
The TUF-AX3000 has four antennas. With 2 GHz bands (2402 Mbps) and 2 GHz bands (574Mbps), the airwaves of both sides can communicate at the same time. The blue LAN port is used for an in-house line or ONU to connect to the Internet. The yellow one is used to connect wired LAN devices in the home. USB port 3.0 connects to external HDD, and can also be run as TimeMachine of file server or Mac
