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 have a 3,000 sq ft home with some unique layout issues for Wifi signals. I started with the Orbi system which had good performance but had reliability issues (the router had to be restarted multiple times) to resolve. I then replaced the Orbi system with the Linksys AX5300 and AX4200. I had 2 units of the AX5300 but i needed an extra unit of the AX4200 so that I can get a good signal to the external ring camera by the garage. I also needed an extra unit of the AX4200 to reach the master bedroom (the farthest point from the modem/router). So i had 4 units altogether to get good coverage. However my Alexa devices took multiple requests to get to the internet, and the Ring Camera took a couple of requests to get the streaming video. So i purchased and installed the 2 Asus Zen Wifi and these 2 units are outperforming the 4 Linksys units. It easily gets a good signal to the external Ring Cameras and I no longer have to ask Alexa twice or the Ring Camera twice. The bandwidth on the wifi has increased from 300 mbps to 500 mbps according to Ookla speed tests. The latency is better, the connection is solid and reliable and Im very impressed with this performance.

I purchased the Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 6E System (ET8 2PK) and it is worth the extra cost. The 6GHz Band is a game changer! It was easy to set-up using the iPhone app and the computer web interface. As an added bonus, I was able to set-up a USB external hard drive to use as a quasi server for my music collection. I have set this system up in my house and my daughters house with great success. Go for the 6E version.

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

The amount of devices that can connect is impressive. Bandwidth is never a problem. Using Arris S33 as the cable modem on a gigabit Comcast data connection.

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.

Tried two other mesh routers but this one really stands out. Game changer!

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.

System is easy to install/set up. I have a 2-story house with a basement. Router is upstairs, node is on first floor. Excellent coverage, even in the basement. I would highly recommend this system to anyone.

In my experience, the mobile app yield better results when connecting the mesh network for initial setup. For some reason when using a pc, it kept stalling trying to find the node. Only have two computers at home that can use the wifi 6e option, but I bought these so I can have a better connection between my pc and the other appliances that use wifi (12 in total). I dont get slow down spikes when random things being to download around the house anymore.

It works great most of the time. High speeds with satellites far apart. I game with absolutely no issues.
