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

This was my second try at a Mesh WiFi 6 router. The setup took about 5 mins. You have to set the satellites close to each other at first, which seem a little odd but you can move them where you like after that. It has a dedicated mesh 2.4/5 GHz mesh WiFi 6 system that works great. I pay for 200 Mbps and I get it. My first try was the night hawk from net gear and the speeds were up and down. I check my speeds at that the source, and it is consistent with phone app. You also can get up to six guest networks and assign them to the 2.4 or the 5 GHz channel. This is very nice if you have older camaras or devices that only work on the 2.4 GHz channel. The mesh system is designed to switch automatically, depending on where you are, not good for older device that only run on 2/4 GHz. The guest networks can be assigned. The parent control features are outstanding if you have kids. App is ok but there is no help to better understand the details on the screens. I prefer the computer interface, which is easier to navigate. I called the help line, and they were quick to respond and helpful with my technical questions. Once it is set up, you are done. I would recommend this product.

I have had this unit since March 2022. It started rebooting for no reason sporadically. I opened a case with Asus and they said I needed to ship the unit to their repair shop and wait for them to fix and return it. They apologized for the inconviniounce of no internet for at least a week.

Worked well for the 1st 5 months. Had good coverage, user friendly interface.

After trying to cope with a Google Nest system, we coughed up a little more money for this system.

I grabbed this back in February of this year, and it worked fine for about two months or so. Then last month the secondary node just stopped connecting to the mesh anymore and we had to factory reset both to get anything to work again. And now the whole thing goes down every few hours and needs to be rebooted - sometimes a couple times before both nodes show up in the app and everything functions again. Will absolutely never be buying another networking solution from ASUS after this.

The router is connected to an ATT 2 GB fiber connection in an IP pass-through configuration on the ground floor of a 2500 sq ft home. I have wireless connectivity only if I configure the backhaul in other than the preferred Wi-Fi 6E config. Speed is good on the other floors but it will not connect reliably.

Improved internet speed, range and reliability. Highly recommend

These arent fast or reliable. These are horrible mesh with an horrible app. They consistently drop signal and need restarted daily! Stay away!

Worked fine for 6.5 months, then stopped. I tried to get ahold of ASUS customer service with no luck. Terrible service.
