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

The good; Tech Support tried, I will give them that, Setup a Cat-6 as a dedicated backbone between the two units with 50 feet of each other, when it worked it was nice and fast Wifi 6e at 1.2/1.4 Gb/s. HOWEVER, when your spouse, working children, and your own WebEX/Zoom/etc and work from home connections FALL OFF every 15 to 30 minutes, you find out this was engineered for bleeding edge gamers willing to accept the drops. NOT recommended, we work, we do not game, it was the most expensive AND worst experience for work from home. IT engineer telling you to just use a single Wifi 6 router not this!!

I have been using Google/NEST and have issues sometimes when there is a delay especially in zoom calls, and did not realize it was issue with my Wifi, since I have not seen any issues with my internet provider. Finally after researching I found and bought the ASUS ZenWifi... and I am impressed, since the mesh uses dedicated pipe, it works much better and has been terrific.

I tried many other wifi6 mesh products and none of them ran flawlessly in access point (bridge) mode but this one hasnt given me any problem after months of usage.

Wouldnt recommend. It wouldnt recognize or connect to the node out if the box. Had to reset everything and load the latest software to get it to connect. Then once connected it would disconnect when separated by more than 10 feet, even though they were still in line of sight.

Operation is not stable. On Reddit, many other users are reporting the same problems.

We have the two unit system. For my house at 3k sqft I will need 4 of the bases but I really dont want to spend their asking price. We often get dropped Internet and speeds at less than 1 mbp on the same floor. We have fiber pushing 780+ gigabit. So where did the other 779 gigabits go?

From a hardware perspective, and thats the principle purpose of a router, the Asus ET8 works very well. Setup was reasonable easy, speeds were excellent and I was up and running in no time. In fact, it is more than triple the speed that I was getting on my old Nest wifi mesh network. If I have one complaint, its only that the web (disorganized) and phone (too simple) interfaces are marginally lacking. After spending a lot of time with the routers, the confidence rises, but its never a rewarding experience to use the config software. However, after about a day familiarizing myself with the locations of all the settings, I have it set up the way I want it and all is well.

The WiFi system does what it advertised. Easy install and the coverage and signal strength is awesome. Eliminate all the dead spots in our 1.5 story ranch style home were the internet service is at one end of the home. The parental control in the app is amazing and allows me to easily schedule individual device downtime to limit my kids screen time. I have been a long time customer of Asus products and this WiFi route delivered as expected!

Me gusto el funcionamiento y que cuenta con la app muy completa

Paired this with the Arris SB8200 to upgrade my home network. Chose this particular unit because it only broadcasts two bands (wired back haul) and the aesthetic goes with our home. My home is wired, so a wired back haul was ideal over other units that broadcast 3 bands with 1 designated for backhaul.
