How about Asus TUF BE6500/BE3600 WIFI7 router? Little Cyclone PRO Router review

Lucky to get the ASUS TUF small cyclone (BE3600) and small cyclone Pro (BE6500) two WIFI7 esports router, the mood is very excited, as the middle of the people, both the configuration and price of these two routers have surprised me, the configuration is quite good, in addition, Asus router also began to take the cost-effective route, And a price war?

First of all, Asus TUF small cyclone (BE3600) and small cyclone Pro (BE6500) are two new designs, equipped with a new processor, of which BE6500 adopts Qualcomm IPQ5332, BE3600 is equipped with Broadcom BCM6764L, the network port is given 2.5GbE, the price is really unexpected. The price is 499 yuan and 599 yuan, the first price is lower!!

First of all, let's talk about the ASUS TUF small Cyclone PRO (BE6500), this router is Asus in the mainland after ROG Octopus 7, Asus BE88U out of the third batch of WiFi7 router, as a loyal fan of Asus, I am basically the model router will get started, At present, my home is using Octopus 7+BE88U to form a Mesh network, the computer is also on the BE200 WiFi7 network card, the mobile phone is using a plus 12, which also supports WiFi7, because the home has also been arranged ten gigabit network, so the wireless speed must be up. After a full set of WiFi7 router can obviously feel the laptop copy video engineering file speed soared, whether it is playing games, networking or downloading are far more than before.

Little Whirlwind PRO get started

Well, without further talk, first introduce the BE6500 configuration, Asus after a few years finally in the TUF series equipped with Qualcomm processors, this time with Qualcomm IPQ5332, almost all the BE6500 specifications on the market are used by Qualcomm IPQ5332.

The Qualcomm IPQ5332 uses a 4-core A53 architecture with a main frequency of 1.5Ghz.

The Qualcomm IPQ5332 integrates 2.4Ghz RF with a maximum speed of 688Mbps at 40Mhz bandwidth and 4096-QAM.

Qualcomm IPQ5332 is in the 5Ghz band and will be paired with its own QCN6224 RF chip.

Qualcomm QCN6224 wireless band is 128 units, the number of OFDMA users is 8, 4x4MIMO and 160MHz combined with 4096-QAM, the highest wireless rate is 5765Mbps. (Note: The QCN6224 chip does not support 6GHz)

Therefore, the small Cyclone Pro router BE6500 is 688Mbps+5765Mbps, which is about equal to the total speed of 6500.

As the first WiFi7 router in the TUF Gaming series, the Small Cyclone Pro is full of configuration and shape, and the packaging is very different from the previous style, but the appearance of the product has changed a lot, and the front of the body is hollowed out!

If you don't look at the antenna, I think this router looks like the steering wheel of my car, with the whole black body, clear lines, silver TUF LOGO in the middle, hollow design on both sides, and 6 antennas, which correspond to 5Gz 4x4 and 2.4Ghz 2x2. Hold it in your hand and feel that this router is extremely solid and feels very good.

Asus small cyclone PRO router bottom is the heat dissipation area, you can see the whole bottom is the heat dissipation fence, the heat dissipation performance is very sufficient.

It is worth mentioning that, although it is a mid-range friendly model, but its network port configuration is very willing to give four 2.5G network ports, support link aggregation, some NAS devices can be connected to two network ports at the same time link aggregation to 5Gbps Intranet transmission rate. In addition, it also has a USB3.0 interface, which can plug U disk and brush machine.

In addition, the light of the machine is relatively restrained, you can see that only the front of these indicators will glow, indicating the state of the machine. Personally think this way is more friendly, who wants to turn off the lights in the living room at night everywhere is bright ah.

Asus router system introduction

Then enter the system.

Please be sure to note: the first time you get the machine, be sure to upgrade the firmware first!

Since WiFi7 has just come out, both technology and power are being debugging, and each update will definitely have a better experience than the original system version!

Asus has the top, best, and most complete routing system on the market, which is one of the reasons why ASUS routers are firmly in the leading position.

Asus system exclusive features include AiMesh2.0 technology for seamless Wi-Fi coverage, AiProtection for advanced network security, bandwidth management QoS to optimize network performance, game acceleration to enhance online gaming experience, and AiCloud 2.0 To achieve remote data access, visitor network privacy protection, parental control to ensure healthy Internet access, network monitoring home to provide traffic analysis, and send second-level domain name support DDNS and IPv6 connection, etc., can be said to provide users with a safe, efficient and easy to manage smart home network environment.

Here are the highlights:

AiMesh 2.0 networking scheme

AiMesh 2.0 is an ASUS Mesh networking solution, and its essence is also based on Mesh technology. However, ASUS Aimesh2.0 compatibility is very good, support a number of different CPU platforms and up to 9 ASUS devices at the same time networking, but also support WiFi6 and WiFi7 mixed, support seamless roaming, intelligent connection, easy management, has good scalability, support wired backhaul, security and compatibility are very strong.

AiProtection Intelligent network guard

The AiProtection feature of Asus routers is an integrated network security solution developed by Asus in collaboration with Trend Micro, a globally renowned network security company. This feature provides a user's smart home and all devices connected to the network with commercial-grade protection, ensuring that they are protected from cyber threats. Using cloud data centers for real-time network monitoring, AiProtection effectively detects and blocks malware, viruses, and other malicious intrusion attempts before they reach users' devices. This function can be described as very strong, but the average person can not perceive.

Game acceleration

Asus game acceleration is divided into three aspects, the first is the local area network computer device acceleration, only need to enter the MAC address it will automatically prioritize the game device to get the best game experience.

The second aspect is mobile device acceleration for Lans, which requires downloading and installing the ASUS Router app. Enable mobile game mode in the app to ensure the best mobile gaming experience.

The last one is Open NAT, a feature that optimizes the online gaming experience. This feature allows users to open ports through preset game profiles, allowing game packets to pass smoothly through the firewall and connect to your home network. Doing so can reduce the connectivity problems you may encounter when playing online games and improve the connectivity and stability of the game.

The Open NAT feature is especially useful for those using proxy servers, firewalls, or Samba services that may restrict port access and thus prevent the transmission of unknown packets. When playing online games, this limitation can lead to failed connections or a poor gaming experience. By using Open NAT, users can ensure that game packets pass through without hindrance, resulting in a smoother gaming experience.
