Awards
This year marks the 10th consecutive year that ASUS has won Readers’ Choice Best Wireless Networking Brand. And they’ve managed to increase their lead from 33% for the 2022 Awards to 39% in 2023. It is a stronghold for ASUS as a consumer brand that focuses on performance and adoption of the latest standards, especially with their ROG line of gaming routers.
Lastly, it offered the most polished app interaction as well as an admin console with a plethora of controls.
Overall, because of its combination of performance and features, we felt that it justified its high price tag and was worthy of our Best Wi-Fi 6 Router of the year award.
Today, they’re well known not just for superior wireless performance, but also as one of the few brands that continue to push the latest in standards, security, advanced user customisation and building a robust networking ecosystem through AiMesh functionality to enable compatible ASUS routers to work together in a single SSID.
I see it as a rather specialised router, one that will appeal most to power users who demand the robust wired connectivity.
ASUS’ popularity is most likely due to their focus on powerful hardware with cutting edge networking features across their Wi-Fi 6 range from the flagship ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 to the RT-AX86U.
With 29% of the votes this year, ASUS has now captured this Readers' Choice award for Best Wireless Networking Brand for seven straight years.

We have unboxed the ASUS RT-AX89X AX6000 Dual Band Router, which has Wi-Fi 6 technology and has an alien or fantastic appearance with its numerous antennas.
If you want to build a very high speed network in a very large place, then the ASUS RT-AX89X can be very useful. It is a high level product both in terms of hardware and software. Therefore, it appeals to users with high-level needs.

"The Asus RT-AX88U is the best choice for a higher end router. It features next generation Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) technology, and an impressive eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, which even supports link aggregation. Backing this up is the usual excellent AsusWRT interface, which allows granular control of every imaginable setting. "
"One of the fastest routers we've tested, the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AC5300 offers lots of gamer-friendly features, copious I/O ports, and a slick management console that lets you optimize your network for lag-free gaming."
