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

We were so happy when our new router connected so easily! Literally, plug and play!

Worked as advertised, easy setup, good signal strength and speed.

I bought this pair in March of this year. Now, 10 months later, one of the pair (the primary of course) keeps dropping signal and providing *slow* throughput to the internet and on the local network. I can restore normal operations if I unplug it and plug it back in 10 seconds later. Rebooting does NOT work.

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.

I wanted to upgrade to 6E and I really liked the feature list on the Asus. I have my two ET8s paired with a ROG GT-AXE11000 functioning as the router with the two ET8s as the satellites.

Improved internet speed, range and reliability. Highly recommend

Amazon has mixed apples and oranges with these ratings. The ASUS ZenWiFi Whole-Home Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi “6E” System (ET8 2PK) versus the ASUS ZenWiFi AX6600 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi “6” System (XT8 2PK), are two distinctly different products. I own the ASUS AXE11000 router, which I bought just for the 6E capability. Its Wi-Fi 6E is great if you are about 6 feet away. Its located in my basement and if I stand on the floor directly over where the router is located, I can see 6E nicely on my Samsung S20 Ultra. But move a few feet away and Im back to 5 GHz. Nice but no cigar. So in desperation I added the ASUS 6E pair. Both upstairs, and both as wired satellites. Bingo! My whole house now has 6E and my Wi-Fi speeds are as advertised. My Windows 11 PC with a 6E adapter now works too. I can recommend the 6E, ET8 2PK system, but know nothing about the ASUS XT8 2PK system. Amazon needs to separate the ratings for these two radically different systems.

Desktop app is excellent!

Finally able to write a review after having my ET8 for 2 weeks and its working great. I too experienced node disconnects randomly. I finally changed the Smart connect from its default value of Dual-band Smart Connect to Tri-band Band Smart Connect. Now it hasnt disconnected for 3 days. Im at peace with my router now.

bisher hatte ich einen ASUS RT-AC68U Router, wollte nun auf Wifi 6E Upgraden.
