We tested three available Asus routers. Pick your favourite

Overview of the models

The Asus Networking Division offers routers for just about every application and environment. Whether you’re looking for an affordable WiFI router or as an avid gamer, you can’t do without RGB LED lighting. The same is true if you need to cover a larger area, for example a house, for which Mesh solutions are already needed, and it is the AiMesh function that is one of the main strengths of this manufacturer’s routers.

Conclusion

Asus didn’t disappoint this time either, and although the trio of routers tested couldn’t be more different in focus and design or price, the user experience is equally good on any of them.

I praise the excellent software support with many useful features, the most important of which I consider to be AiMesh, which I have been using myself since its release, about four years. During this period, I have replaced the router and nodes several times, and it is the possibility of combining different Asus routers in one network that is the biggest advantage of this solution. You can start with the cheap RT-AX55 and buy a second one to expand your network if needed.

Or vice versa, you buy a gaming or high-end model first and later find you need better coverage, so you buy a second, cheaper piece to go with it. Let us know in the comments what router you use and if you have experience with mesh solutions.

Asus Astral LC GeForce RTX 5090 OC Ed. Review: Extreme AiO

A major drawback of the exceptionally powerful GeForce RTX 5090 is the high power demands of its large GB202 chip. Even when equipped with a premium air cooler, the card still requires robust system cooling to handle its nearly 600W heat output. However, AiO liquid cooling models can offer even better thermal performance, thanks to their larger radiators with three 120mm fans, which expel hot air directly outside the case.

Asus ROG Strix B860-G Gaming WiFi: Micro ATX? Also an option

A smaller form factor, but still well-prepared for even the most powerful processors. The ROG Strix B860-G Gaming WiFi motherboard has a sufficiently robust power delivery system even for the Core Ultra 9 285K, and its advantage lies in its lower height. This makes the motherboard suitable for use in smaller and more space-efficient cases, of which there are relatively few on the market, just like decent μATX motherboards.

Asus TUF GeForce RTX 5070 12GB OC Ed.: Perfectionism

While the more powerful GeForce RTX 50 models face no direct competition, AMD has positioned two strong contenders against the RTX 5070—the Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT. Both offer slightly better value and more memory. Your choice depends on whether you need a graphics card purely for gaming or also for professional applications, and how reliant you are on Nvidia’s broader, more polished ecosystem with proprietary technologies.
