The GT-AXE11000 with firmware 3.0.0.4.386_42489-g4675265 does not appear to work with 6E and WPA3-Personal on either Windows or Linux with the Intel AX210 6E Wireless NIC. It does work with Opportunistic Wireless Encryption, but that does not appear to require a password!
The GT-AXE11000 with firmware 3.0.0.4.386_42489-g4675265 does not appear to work with the Motorola MB8600 and LAG on the WAN ports. e.g. It will not get a WAN IP address via DHCP with two WAN ports set in Link Aggregation mode, so you can't get > 1Gbps.
I bought the router mainly for these two features:
Greater than 1Gbps internet via WAN LAG.
6 GHz connectivity via wi-fi 6E (securely).
ASUS are you going to address these issues? *The product currently does not perform as advertised.

WAN LAG is where you connect two 1 Gbps cables from your Cable Modem into your Router and it aggregates them to give you greater than 1 Gbps speed if your ISP supports that.

"The following Intel® Wireless Adapters support WPA3-Personal (aka WPA3-SAE) and WPA3- Enterprise on Windows® 10.
Intel® Wi-Fi 6E AX210"
WPA3-Personal didn't work under Linux either.
There are no nearby 6GHz access points except for mine. *I am able to connect to it using the AX210 in both Windows and Linux, but not using WPA3-Personal.

The second WAN on your cable modem has to be enabled. No matter what cable modem you use with your ISP, the firmware is pushed to your modem by them. If they do not enable both WAN you will never show a connection greater than 1gb. I have fiber at the moment and my fiber modem has a 10gb WAN. The multiport on AXE11000 has a 2.5gb port. So I have a 2.5gb connection which makes no difference in my speeds since I have 1gb speed.
Yes Ax210 supports WPA3, it is made by Intel, which is not Microsoft who makes windows. It is not enabled in Windows for Wifi6e, it does not matter what ASUS is leading you to believe. I know they posted directions on there website, but they are not telling you the whole situation. Sorry I know nothing about Linux.

I just realized I have never considered what speed a WAN port on a router can do. If you have a 10 Gbps Fiber ISP connection, the normal WAN port will not go above 1 Gbps?
If you can connect to the 2.5 Gbps port for the WAN connection, the wireless can do 2.4 Gbps so you should have that if you want..
I got on the Win 10 Insiders Dev channel and noticed Intel is giving them a 22.50.x.x version of the Wi-Fi driver. Normally you can only get the 22.40.x.x even directly from Intel. Maybe the 22.50.x.x will turn on the 6 GHz option..

Yes that is the beta driver. It does enable 6ghz, but I don't know about WPA3. Try it.
