In this segment of the video, the presenter compares two mid-range routers: the Asus RT AX-58U (AX 3000 Wi-Fi 6 router) and the TP-Link Archer AX-55 (also an AX 3000 Wi-Fi 6 router). The comparison covers specifications, ports, connections, free and paid features, speed tests under heavy internet load, range tests, and a final recommendation. Both routers have Wi-Fi 6 with 160 MHz channels and aggregate speeds of 3 Gbps, including a gigabit WAN port, four LAN ports, and a USB 3.0 port. The Asus router has a tri-core CPU, giving it a slight speed advantage over the TP-Link’s dual-core CPU. Common features include OFDMA, MU-MIMO, guest networks, and parental controls, but the Asus offers additional features not found in the TP-Link router.

In this segment of the video, the discussion focuses on the guest network capabilities of different routers. The ASUS router allows for up to six guest networks, while TP-Link allows for two – one on the 2.4 gigahertz band and one on the five gigahertz band. ASUS offers more advanced parental controls and security features for free, while TP-Link’s basic features are free but advanced ones require a subscription. ASUS provides more granular control over Wi-Fi configurations, including USB sharing for printers, and can function as a repeater or in AI mesh mode. Overall, ASUS offers more features and configurations compared to TP-Link, but might be overwhelming for less tech-savvy users.

In this segment of the video, the comparison between two routers, TP-Link and Asus, is discussed. The key points covered are:
1. Configuration: TP-Link’s configuration is limited to the smartphone app, while Asus allows configuration from both the app and web interface.
2. Speed Test:
– Initial internet speed test without load shows both routers performing well at 140 Mbps.
– Under heavy load (streaming, playing music), Asus offers 110 Mbps, while TP-Link provides only 95 Mbps consistently.
– Copying files from a USB key plugged into the router shows Asus transferring at 67 MB/s compared to TP-Link’s 35 MB/s.
– Copying files from the PC to the router’s USB key shows Asus transferring at 54 MB/s versus TP-Link’s 30 MB/s.
– LAN file transfer test between PCs with Wi-Fi 6 cards shows Asus at 70 MB/s and TP-Link at 59 MB/s.
3. Range Test: Both routers provided around 16-17 Mbps at a distance of 50 yards before signal drop-off.
In conclusion, Asus outperforms TP-Link in all aspects with better specifications, including a tri-core CPU compared to TP-Link’s dual-core CPU.
