Room 2 – is separated from the router by two walls that absorb the wireless signal. In addition, the wall between Room 1 and Room 2 is twice as thick as the wall between the router’s room and Room 1. As a result, Room 2 can be a challenge for many routers.
I performed all measurements on a laptop that can work with Wi-Fi 6 networks, using Windows 11, the latest drivers and operating system updates.
To get a better idea of how the ASUS RT-AX57 Go performs, I compared it to the TP-Link Archer AX55 and the Xiaomi Mi AIoT Router AX3600. While neither of these two routers are travel routers, they are AX3000 dual-band wireless routers with similar specs.
First, I measured signal strength using NetSpot while connected to the 2.4 GHz band using the Wi-Fi 4 802.11n standard. The ASUS RT-AX57 Go's signal strength varied similarly to the routers I compared it to, but was no better or worse than them.
Wi-Fi 4 signal strength 2.4 GHz band
The switch to Wi-Fi 6 on the 2.4GHz band resulted in a slight drop afghanistan telegram data in signal strength, but that's normal for most Wi-Fi 6 routers in this price range.
Wi-Fi 6 Signal Strength 2.4GHz Band
For my next measurement, I fired up the SpeedTest app and used it to check the maximum speed you get when transferring data to and from the Internet on the 2.4GHz band. The ASUS RT-AX57 Go delivered reasonably fast downloads without outperforming the routers I compared it to.

Download speeds were reasonable and surprisingly better than other routers in the room that was furthest from the router.
