![]() ![]() The exception is the Archer AX20, which has something funky going on in rate adaptation at the higher signal levels (lower attenuations). The 2.4 GHz downlink plot shows the effect of 2X higher top link rate in the products with AX 2.4 GHz radios. Click on the links to pull up the Charts page that will include all the data. ASUS wants a premium for the AX56U, however, with current Amazon pricing at $133.īecause the screenshots that included all the throughput number tables ran really long, just the plots will be shown. I also pulled ASUS’ RT-AX56U into the mix that, like the NETGEAR RAX20 and TP-Link AX20, is built on Broadcom’s BCM6755. The NETGEAR RAX40 is a dual-band dual-stream full Wi-Fi 6 router based on Intel’s Lantiq platform. Here’s a short Pros and Cons summary for each router and a board photo, in order from least to most expensive.Īlthough our focus is on sub-$100 products, I decided to include two other two-stream products that didn’t make the $100 cutoff in the performance comparison. ![]() But only the NETGEAR RAX15/20 supports DFS channels. Surprisingly, all have OpenVPN servers and all three support WPA3 wireless security. But the only product that doesn’t have either a USB 2 or 3 port is the Archer AX10. Since storage sharing isn’t a key factor in router choice, it’s not included in the table. The BCM6750 is also used ASUS’s $160 RT-AX58U (also tested, but not in this review), but it’s paired with a Broadcom BCM43684 4 stream an/ac/ax radio. You’ll see the consequences of this choice when we look at performance. So the AX10 doesn’t have one of the noticeable advantages of Wi-Fi 6 routers (when used with Wi-Fi devices) 2X higher 2.4 GHz link rate. To save cost, however, TP-Link paired it with Broadcom’s BCM43217, which is a 2.4 GHz b/g/n SoC. It’s also an AX router-on-a-chip, but has only one AX radio.
