Verdict

ASUS RT-AX3000

6.5 / 10 Expert Rating

A perfectly serviceable budget WiFi 6 router, but there's little here that distinguishes it from ASUS's own cheaper AX55.

8.5 / 10 Expert Rating

The best premium mid-range mesh choice right now, provided the annual Armor subscription is acceptable.
