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 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.

Replaced an old Google mesh Wi-Fi system, Also bought a new TP link router That worked perfectly with this. Running in back haul mode, 3000 ft² home, no problems no drops, been 2 months

I had such high hopes for this product, given that it was a WireCutter pick for the best router, but in the end its going back to Amazon for a refund. Why? The quick answer is this: when the router is in AP (access point) mode it has some serious issues that I cant seem to solve.

Sets up easily, offers bluetooth and app. WIFI 6 and mesh tech seem to distribute signal better throughout our older home and plaster walls.

Out of the box it’s super easy to setup. I recommend identifying what you’ll use for passwords in advance. I liked that the web GUI shows a full list of recommended security settings (e.g., turn off UPnP, etc.). You feel secure immediately. I like that you don’t have to pay for the security like with Orbi.

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

This mesh system is average in my opinion. For the price I would like to see a little better performance. I haven’t owned any other Wifi6E systems so I don’t have anything to compare it to, but I have owned Wi-Fi 5 mesh system that had significantly better range. The speed of this unit is fine id say, but the signal range and the user interface is slow. What I mean is when I visit the router web page it freezes up all the time. I have to cycle power on the main unit to get it back responding. Nothing freezes with Wi-Fi access just the user interface. Very annoying! So for speed its 5 of 5 but because of other issues I can only give it a 4 of 5.

If you have FIOS do not get this system. Like the previous Wifi 6 system this will not work as expected with a FIOS ONT. Downloads will achieve maximum speed but uploads will be a fraction of what you would expect. I have a 1GB symmetrical (down and up are the same) plan and uploads never pass 100mbit on speedtests. They stay around 50mbit. If you search the internet and forums most newer ASUS routers will not work correctly with FIOS ONT and this has been happening for over a year. ASUS has done nothing to fix this. Please look for another solution to save yourself a headache if you have a high speed FIOS internet plan. I am promptly returning this mesh system.

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

This was simple to install and solved our problem of dead spots for wifi service in our home. All areas are now covered satisfactorily.
