What's better
EE new Wifi7 router or my own Asus rog rapture gt-ax6000 for 1.6Gbps connection ?
Answer to this question depends entirely on what you want/value out of a router and what devices you're planning on connecting to it?
In terms of hardware specifications, the Asus is 'only' dual band (2.4GHz & 5GHz) and therefore doesn't have 6GHz support. The Smart Hub Pro is tri band and uses 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz. Main benefit of the latter is the reduced congestion, and the fact that operating at higher channel widths (read: higher speeds) isn't subject to DFS/radio regulation like it is on 5GHz. This said, you'll need Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7 devices in order to use the 6GHz band and it doesn't quite reach as far as 5GHz.
Already pointed out by others, but the EE hub obviously has Wi-Fi 7 whereas the Asus doesn't. WiFi 7 will give you a fraction more in terms of maximum obtainable speed on 2.4GHz and 5GHz, as long as the connecting device is also Wi-Fi 7. Wi-Fi 7 on 6GHz potentially allows for a pretty significant boost in speed.
Again, pointed out by others, but the Smart Hub Pro also has more 2.5GbE LAN ports compared to the Asus.
In terms of software, AsusWRT will be much more feature-laden compared to the EE hub; Only likely to matter if you're the 'tinkering type' or are already using some of these features.
You own the Asus hub; I imagine you'd be expected to return the EE one should you ever leave.
Finally, the aesthetics. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I suppose, but I'm not sure that Asus is taking home any catwalk awards 😉
