ASUS ZenWiFi Whole-Home Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 6E System (ET8 2PK), Coverage up to 5,500 sq.ft & 6+Rooms, 6600Mbps, New 6GHz Band, AiMesh,Instant Guard

I have a 50+ foot long home with the base internet on one side and was getting weak signals far away from base router. I have 300/300 Bis service, and near the base router I can exceed that. At the far end of the house 100/50 approximately 30 feet and 2 walls away from the node which is good a enough to stream 1080p video several times over. Note some devices I needed to bind to the base router so it would connect to the stronger signal.

Works for me no problem. Have had no issues so far, no drop offs no speed issues. Also I have a ton of smart gadgets all working and connected just fine. The 6E backhaul is a charm.

First I wrote a quite negative review but I was able to figure out something. This thing works! But not in all cases. I have a few support open with ASUS and there are some problems with the firmware. And some are quite serious problems.

Going to try to keep this short and sweet.

Ive had this mesh setup for a month and a half, and one of the nodes has already died. Havent had a chance to contact customer support yet, will update when I do.

random disconnections and reboots.

This has been so much better than our previous router/extender setup. No more handoffs and much faster speeds over wireless. Definitely happy with this purchase

I bought from ASUS website. I wish I bought on Amazon with insurance. ASUS sucks big time for everything. The customer service sucks. Last product I will ever buy from ASUS. Here I come engenius or ubiquiti!

I did not deduct a star because I was able to figure out exactly how to use these in my situation. I did not want one to be the router and the other as the node. What I wanted to do was add both as nodes and continue using my Asus RT-AX86s as the main router. I must note that all my hardware is connected via Ethernet - lucky for me, my house came prewired for it in all rooms. I reset both devices and then was able to add them both as nodes - one on main floor in my room and one upstairs in my sons room (the RT-AX86S is in the basement) It has worked flawlessly. I did not try to use these as WiFi so cannot comment on those. If you can connect via Ethernet cable, that would be best IMHO.

I bought this because of reviews in magazines, tech websites, and online ratings. Set up not too bad, although it’s tricky. Great range in our 2-story home, Internet signal is strong, and works great . . . When it works. Intermittent connectivity issues and unstable Wi-Fi problems. If using this for Zoom meetings or streaming, expect problems, lags and unstable signal every 20-30 minutes. Very aggravating and disappointing, considering the price of this unit.
