Best WiFi 6 router for 10GbE NAS

Best WiFi 6 router for 10GbE NAS

Need help pairing router for fastest lan and wan wireless access

I have recently purchased a TS-453Be with 12Tb of storage, 16Gb memory, and 10Gbe card.

I’m trying to figure out which Asus router will be the best pairing for this NAS. Considering the rt-ax86u or rt-ax88u, but the lack of multi gig ports tells me it’s not the best choice.

What router features will let me maximize the speed of the qnap, on wireless networks?

Assume all my connected devices are wifi 6 capable.

Any help is appreciated. I called Asus 3x separate times hoping to get someone knowledgeable, but they were clearly just reading off spec sheets.

AX6000 is a faster router thanks to an additional antenna. It also comes with more LAN ports.
RT-AX86U comes with a single 2.5GbE which is still much slower then 10GbE and you will need an additional switch to add extra LAN ports.
Either way, none of these will benefit from 10GbE connectivity.
You should consider RT-AX89X that comes with dual 10GbE and WiFi6. This would be the best option. You can connect a NAS and a PC or simply distribute incoming 10GbE via several 1GbE LAN connections.

I hope this helps.

Ultra-fast Wired Speed

The RT-AX89X comes with two 10G ports, one Base-T and SFP+ port, which means both fiber and copper 10G connections are supported. Capture ISP advertised speeds or use your own 10G LAN network between PCs and NAS.

Built for Multi-device Households

With a revolutionary combination of OFDMA and MU-MIMO technology, 802.11ax technology provides up to 4X greater network capacity and efficiency in traffic-dense environments. Previous-generation 802.11ac WiFi can only handle one device at a time on each network channel, which is an inefficient use of available bandwidth. OFDMA support in the 802.11ax WiFi standard divides each channel into small sub-channels, allowing signals from multiple devices* to be bundled together and transmitted simultaneously, reducing latency for a smoother, more responsive WiFi experience.

Wireless that’s as Stable as Wired Ethernet

When you are far away from your router, enjoying the stability of a wired network connection is usually impractical or impossible. With special designed antennas, RT-AX89X provides wide coverage and a stable signal, letting you enjoy a reliable and smooth connection for gaming or work anywhere in your home.

Powerful Whole-home WiFi System.
The Way You Want.

In most cases, your RT-AX89X can deliver smooth, reliable WiFi to every part of your home. But WiFi coverage can be affected by many factors — room layout, construction materials, and even furnishings. ASUS AiMesh is an innovative new router feature that fixes these problems: it creates a whole-home WiFi network using multiple ASUS routers. AiMesh is powerful, flexible and you can use a mix of ASUS router models — protecting your investment! AiMesh gives you time-saving central control, and seamless roaming capability. AiMesh is WiFi you can rely on — for all your devices, all the time!

• Turn your ASUS routers into whole-home WiFi system with a simple firmware update
• Mix and match preferred models from selected ASUS routers
• Create a WiFi network with either a single SSID or multiple SSIDs
• All router features works across the entire WiFi system
