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 had a T-Mobile branded Asus router and it worked great for years. It was solid with a very good user interface. I would rarely lose connection with that router.

I recently cut the cord on cable TV and upgraded to 1Gbps (fastest I can go in my area) service to my house. I started out the with typical all-in-one modem-router provided by my ISP but I was having the typical 1st world problem of coverage, lack of flexibility/control, and stability - so I used the money I saved on my cable bill to splurge on Mesh WIFI. It was between the Zen and Netgears Orbi and I ultimately picked Zen - I cant imagine going wrong with either, but the Zen was a bit more affordable and I used the extra money to pick up a pair of MoCA 2.5 adapters (Hitron HT-EM4) to backhaul the paring mesh node by wire vs. wireless.

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.

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.

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.

Most complicated over information filled inter face ! Took so long to find my router , then could not find the node ,( never did ) then adds a third ? Finally got it up and running then I made the mistake of updating firmware , that was it . Nothing could not find the network or nodes , did everything dumb thing , reboot everything in install and reinstall . Nothing . Waisted a day .

Bought due to having gig service…was never able to get over 400-500Mbps. Wired or Wirelessly. Returned and bought an Ubiquity system! Ultimate Dream Router is WAY better!

I bought from ASUS website. I wish I bought on Amazon with insurance. ASUS sucks big time for everything. The customer service sucks. Last product I will ever buy from ASUS. Here I come engenius or ubiquiti!

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