In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses speed tests for various devices connected to Ethernet and Wi-Fi. The devices cap the internet speed differently, with some being limited to gigabit speeds while others can go faster, especially on Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi speeds varied among the devices, with ET8 showing the fastest Wi-Fi 7 download speeds. Local speed tests, done without the ISP, showed improvements in most cases. Wired backhaul speeds were capped at just under gigabit for some devices due to port limitations, while others maintained consistent speeds.

In this segment of the video, the focus is on comparing the wireless backhaul performance of different systems. The XT5 is shown to have slower speeds due to its dual-band system. Range tests are conducted, with all systems performing well, but the GT6 excelling in download speeds at 50 ft, while the ET12 performs best in download speeds at 100 ft. The XT5 surprisingly had the fastest download speed in the Wi-Fi 7 section. The setup and configuration are done through the ASUS router app, which offers a wide range of options, including parental controls, AI protections, VPN options, mesh setup, band separation, and more, accessible through a web browser for even more options.
