Was hoping to solve poor connection issues. I dont notice a difference.

I have had the router since December 2022, so approximately 3 months. During that time we have experienced near daily disconnections of all WIFI devices from the WAN connection. WIFI devices are able to connect to the network, but lose all access to the internet through it. Wired connections are completely unaffected.

This is truly dumbfounding that an organization that touts excellence at all levels with their flagship offerings but do not as much as have the courtesy to get back to a customer that has had nothing but intermittent connectivity drops from day 1.

I was replacing an old Norton Core router product for a house that wasn’t very fast, but was very stable. It also has good advertising site blocking. The ASUS ZedWifi product was easy to install as a 2 node replacement. However, it doesn’t have the option to block advertising and seems to crash iPhone, laptop and other WIFI connections almost daily. If you don’t use the iPhone or laptop for a short while, the router disconnects. Now you are on LTE. Sometimes the WIFI comes back, frequently it doesn’t. Then you have to manually disconnect and reconnect the device’s WIFI interface to get back on the network. In the first month of use, I also had the 2nd node go offline for no apparent reason. I had to power it off to bring it back. Nice product idea for covering a larger space, but not stable enough to count on…

Product works as designed. Had to reset the device to get it to autoconfigure properly, would recommend that to new purchasers. Also, new firmware update was identified with the mobile app.

I read reviews and bought this believing it was a complete system to replace my older router. It is NOT a standalone. I still need to cable one to my current router, which makes these barely better than the cheap extender I now have. No matter how powerful these are, they are still choked going thru an old router. ASUS needs to make this very clear in their description. I was willing to spend the big money for a powerful system, but this isnt worth the cost without a new, expensive router.

Going to try to keep this short and sweet.

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.

Node constantly drops. It doesn’t provide a consistent network connection. When it works it’s great. But often I have to either restart or unplug n plug back in. The node constantly drops. My 7 yr old TP Link was a lot more reliable than this. Disappointing for such expensive devices.

My experience with this router has been terrible. I have two ET8 nodes connected via wired backhaul. All my devices have had problems with random disconnects since the beginning. I should’ve just returned this right away. Now I’m on the phone trying to get tech support and no help in sight. If this weren’t so expensive, I would just throw it away and get another mesh router from another company.
