Using 80MHz channel width, there are better routers out there, but the Lite AX60 still performs very well, approaching one gigabit.

Throughput remains excellent even in the downstream direction, but let's also look at the range of the wireless router.

Zyxel USG Lite 60AX – Wireless Network Test+Signal Attenuation -dB – 5 GHz – WiFi 6 and WiFi 5 Client Devices – Upstream
We're most interested in the spot where the signal attenuation is -85dB, and we see that the WiFi 6 client had no problem maintaining decent throughput, while the WiFi 5 one was a little less impressive and the other dropped out completely.

And that's true for both upstream and downstream. So, to get the most out of this router, use Wi-Fi 6 devices.

I've also added a long-term performance graph, including a comparison with the ASUS TUF-AX4200.
Wireless Test 2.4GHz
Let's now test the throughput when using the 2.4GHz radio band, as it will be used quite often given the ever-increasing number of client devices.

I used a 40MHz channel bandwidth to get better throughput, but it's probably smarter to use 20MHz for better signal penetration. That said, upstream it's decent performance, especially when using a WiFi 6 client, while the results from the two WiFi 5 clients were less interesting.
