Wish this had one more multi gig port, this would be amazing.

It just seems to me tri-band with 2 5GHz channels is more useful than a 6, 5, and 2.4 router.

What am I missing?

Take a look at the newest Archer routers.

This or the GT-AX6000? My understanding is that the 6Ghz 6E band doesn't go through walls or obstacles very well. I think they both have the same broadcom CPU, but this AXE doesn't have removable antennas right?

It depends... 6ghz for clients is rather useless unless you're in a dense congested area and need to connect 1-2 important clients. Newer Intel cards and certain phones support it.

6ghz for wireless backhaul is completely valid since you will have 4x4 stream MIMO communicating without interference, so if you plan on buying two, it's quite beneficial for large home coverage.. power output and frequency are less of a concern when running 4x4 >4x4 MIMO across two routers with high output.

I would personally just grab something like an AX86S at bestbuy for $153 with trade in unless you want platform longevity in which case the GT-AX6000 will be great, since newer..

They don't share exact hardware. GT-AX6000 has "wave 2" BCM AX hardware. CPU is upgraded/die shrunk and radios are newer revisions.

My experience with GT-AX6000 was lackluster.. lower range due to my environment (testing all channels etc)., but many people say their range improved with the newer gen hardware. YMMV

AXE16000 is the one that shares hardware with GT-AX6000.

6Ghz routers do not have removable antennas per regulation.


I would say $300 is a fair price for this specific model, $350 is pushing it, unless you plan on buying two for WL backhaul purposes.

it's effectively a dual band router for most people.

Just bought this router. The 6 GHz band rips when you are close to the router. If you go up a floor the speed goes down appreciably. It depends on distance and obstruction.

I have this Ai Meshed with an AXE-16000 (Primary) using the 6GHz as a backhaul. Works wonders and covers the whole property across the two. Great router but superb once you pair it with another.

What does 6Hz backhaul mean? Does this just mean they are"meshed" over the 6GHz band instead of direct ethernet connection?

I am not the best with network stuff, so hopefully that question makes some sense...

A 6ghz radio communicates with the other 6ghz radio over 4x4 streams when connecting to each other if similar level of Hardware.

It's exactly how higher end mesh systems with dedicated wireless backhauls function. The low end ones just "hop" and end up with lower possible speeds, similar to standard AI mesh on ASUS routers. The new google 6E system is exactly like this.. low end hops.

Since not many consumers really use 6ghz spectrum, you don't have to worry about local interference as much, which will translate to a very stable connection using the 5ghz/2.4ghz radio for connections on each side.

It's not that the 6ghz spectrum requires newer hardware either, but rather the hardware has to be revised, certified, and tested to broadcast into higher spectrum.

Since 6ghz requires fixed antennas, the only thing that can be modified in real time is pre existing mesh systems with internal antenna. The older ASUS XT8 for example was updated to support newer 5Ghz UNII-4 spectrum for backhaul purposes. (Similar effect of having 6ghz, but with what seems to be higher power limits)


WIFI itself is funny. There is no static answer to what's better.. I have an older AC router that out performs a few AX routers with similar 4x4 configs on 5G. Going to be subjective to channels/local environment.


The client end of 6ghz is going to prob remain "useless", especially due to how WIFI7 hardware will function on client end. (Multistream across multiple bands similar to intel DCT technology).

Here is an answer to what backhaul is. https://kb.netgear.com/000064886/...s-backhaul
