Questions about ASUS TUF AX3000 V2

Yes, you can use the router without an Ethernet cable, as it supports wireless connection. The router uses the WiFi 6 standard, which offers wireless speeds of up to 3000 Mbps, enabling a stable and fast connection for wireless devices.

Yes, you can disconnect the LAN cable from the modem and move the router to another room after setting it up. However, make sure that the router is configured correctly and that the Wi-Fi connection is stable to ensure good coverage in the new location. If you use a wired connection, make sure you have an Ethernet cable long enough to reach the router in the new location.

I looked at the 250 Mbit/s tariffs on the Vodafon website. They offer a free Fritzbox with the plan. Why do you want to buy something?

According to research, the ASUS TUF AX3000 V2 has received a VLAN function through firmware updates.

To use the ASUS TUF Gaming AX3000 V2 router, you need the following connections in your home: ## Connections - WAN port: This port must be connected to your internet provider to establish the internet connection. The WAN port of the TUF Gaming AX3000 V2 supports speeds of up to 2.5 Gbps. - Ethernet ports: There are four Ethernet ports with 1 Gbps speed, two of which also support link aggregation to reach up to 2 Gbps speed. - USB port: One USB 3.2 Gen 1 port is available, which can be used for various applications such as connecting external storage devices or printers. - Power connection: A power port for supplying power to the router. ## WLAN function The ASUS TUF Gaming AX3000 V2 is a stand-alone Wi-Fi 6 router and not an amplifier for an existing WLAN. It creates its own Wi-Fi network and offers both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bandwidths. If you want to cover an entire home or a larger area, the router can also be combined with the ASUS AiMesh system to create mesh-based whole-home coverage.

Any WiFi-based mesh will result in at least 2x loss on each leg. This is because the same channel is used to both communicate between 2 nodes and the node and the device. The only way to avoid that is to use cable extension (which Asus AiMesh supports) or have a low-speed internet provider that is slower that 1/2 of the physical speed between nodes. I have AX3000 v2 as the main router + 2 Asus AiMesh nodes on WiFi 6. While router gets nearly 2.5Gbps of internet, the smartphone in 3 meters gets only 300-400Mbps over WiFi and the same smartphone in 3 meters of a AiMesh node only gets 150-200Mbps. In general I'd still recommend Asus AiMesh as it can be centrally configured. But try to get as homogenous setup as possible to avoid problems (e.g. all nodes support WiFi6, etc.).

Yes, ASUS routers are generally compatible with Swisscom ADSL services. The ASUS Router interface offers fast access with extensive security options. You can monitor connections to your network in real time, detect intruders and check for anomalies on connected devices. You can also restrict access to certain devices, block malicious threats, and view all this information via the application or the main interface on your computer, making it very user-friendly.

No. There is no slot for a SIM.

No

If the speed is low due to the distance between your modem and your computer, this repeater can certainly help by increasing the WLAN range. It's best to try it out and return the product if it doesn't work.
