ASUS RT-AX92U, AX6100

Die beiden Asus RT-AX92U Mesh-Boxen funkten in unserem Test schnell und stabil. Im Normalfall werden die WLAN-Clients vom Asus-Mesh-System mit WLAN 1-2-3-4-5 bedient. Die System-interne Verbindung zwischen den beiden Mesh-Funkern dagegen, das Backbone, wird mit einer reservierten 11ax-WLAN-6-Funkstrecke ohne sichtbare SSID aufgebaut. Etwas Moderneres haben wir zum Testzeitpunkt Ende Juni 2019 noch nicht gesehen.

At the core of it, the RT-AX92U is a Wi-Fi 6 router that can only make a Wi-Fi 5 AiMesh system, despite the fact Asus released it as its first Wi-Fi 6 mesh system. At launch, the router was quite buggy, which is partly the reason why I waited until now to review it. Now, after numerous firmware updates, the RT-AX92U is much better. But there are still things I can’t put my finger on. The problematic Wi-Fi 6 band is an example. That said, still, I’m comfortable recommending it as a single router — just make sure you name the 5GH-2 band separately and use it only for Wi-Fi 6 clients. As an AiMesh member, though, the RT-AX92U works best as an add-on node to another tri-band router, like the GT-AX11000, via a wired backhaul.
