If you’re confused between ZenWiFi Pro XT12 vs. ZenWiFi Pro ET12, you’re not alone. Differentiated by a single letter, their model names seem to be a mean trick ASUS plays on us all. While there are a lot more similarities between these two than their monikers, they are also very …
The ZenWiFi Pro XT12 is worth the wait. And that’s a good thing, considering it has been a bit of a tease. ASUS initially and quietly unveiled this tri-band mesh system in August 2021 with the ZenWiFi ET12; both were slated to be available in the US in early 2022. …
You can think of TP-Link’s new and, for now, Best Buy-exclusive Deco X4300 Pro Wi-Fi 6 mesh as the previous once Costco-exclusive Deco X60 plus a 2.5Gbps port and better 5GHz Wi-Fi specs. And that’s a big plus. Like the case of the X60, eventually, you’ll likely be able to …
In more ways than one, the new ZenWiFi AX Hybrid (model XP4) is ASUS’s Powerline alternative to its entry-level ZenWiFi AX Mini (XD4). Specifically, the ASUS XP4 is its older cousin, plus the built-in Powerline capability. And that makes a huge difference in their physical shapes and functionality. Still, since …
On March 23, 2022, eero, a networking vendor owned by Amazon, released its first Wi-Fi 6E solution, the eero Pro 6E, available as a single router for some $300 or a 3-pack for $700. There’s also a new inconsequential eero 6+ that’s basically the same as the eero 6 but …
If you’re on the market for a top-tier Wi-Fi 6E mesh Wi-Fi system, you must be aware of the NETGEAR RBKE960 series (available as a 3-pack RBKE963, 2-pack RBKE962, or a single router RBRE960) and the 2-pack ASUS ZenWiFi Pro ET12 (also available as a single router.) And maybe that’s …
The ZenWiFi Pro ET12—not to be confused with the XT12—is the fourth Wi-Fi 6E mesh system I’ve tested, after the Linksys AXE8400, the ZenWiFi ET8, and the NETGEAR Orbi RBKE960 series. And again, I wanted to love it as a fully wireless system but couldn’t due to the innate short …
If you read my review of the ZenWiFi XT8, you’d note that I recommended it mainly for those living in a home with no network cables. If you have gotten your home wired, though, this ASUS ZenWiFi XD6 AX5400 is an equally excellent alternative. Sure, it’ll work in a wireless …
The NETGEAR MK83 Nighthawk tri-band Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System, first announced on March 16, 2021, sure seems an upgrade to the previous Dual-band MK63 model. It has an additional 5GHz band and, therefore, more bandwidth. But on the inside, it’s pretty much the same as its lesser cousin, …
For a few months now, folks have been asking me to review the TP-Link Deco X90 AX6600 Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi System, and I was about to do precisely that. Upon close inspection, though, I realized that the Deco X90 is basically the Deco X5700 I already reviewed, with just …
