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.
Tenda RX27 Pro
7 / 10 Expert Rating
More than enough router for a tight-budget WiFi 6E upgrade, with polish and brand pedigree as the compromise.
