In a way, each router of the 2-pack ASUS ExpertWiFi EBM68 AX7800 Tri-Band Business Wi-Fi 6 System is a combination of the EBA63 access point and the EBG15 non-Wi-Fi router. And in that sense, it’s simply a more powerful variant of the EBR63 router. That’s to say, the new mesh …
On January 4, 2023, ASUS unveiled its new ExpertWiFi product line. After unsurprisingly missing the initial availability target, initially set for “the first quarter of 2023, ” the networking vendor is finally shipping the ExpertWiFi EBR63 standalone router. There will soon be more hardware options, including those supporting Wi-Fi 7. …
The ROG Rapture GT6 would make the most interesting hardware in ASUS’s ZenWifi canned mesh family, except it’s not a ZenWifi. Instead, ASUS touted it as “the first ROG mesh WiFi system optimized for gamers” at the initial product announcement on Aug 23, 2022. The system didn’t become available for …
The ZenWiFi XD5 does not complete what the ZenWifi XD4 set out to start—it’s similarly stripped-down hardware in terms of features. But it does have everything the older cousin had and then some noteworthy improvements. I reviewed the ZenWifi XD4 in June 2020 and called it the first “complete AiMesh …
ASUS announced today the ZenWifi hybrid XC5, which it claimed to be the world’s first mesh Wi-Fi system with built-in MoCA backhaul.

I should have written this NETGEAR Orbi RBK852 vs. ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 matchup long ago. They were among the first Wi-Fi 6 mesh systems you could find, and that, by the way, was the first similarity among a few they had. But better late than never. NETGEAR’s recent release of …
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. …
With the ZenWiFi Pro XT12 around the corner, you might have missed another variant in this tri-band AiMesh family, the ZenWiFi XT9. First quietly unveiled back in May, the XT9, as the name suggests, is a step between the XT8 and the XT12. And its hardware specs show precisely that. …
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 …
