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 …
In late June 2021, ASUS quietly released the ZenWiFi ET8 Whole-Home Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6E 2-pack mesh system for a relatively friendly cost of $530. And that brings us to this ZenWiFi ET8 vs. XT8 matchup. On the face of it, the new ET8 seems like a good deal, considering the …
In many ways, the ASUS ZenWiFi ET8 AXE6600 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6E Mesh System is an example of how the latest is not necessarily the greatest. This new mesh set is not a replacement for the previous ZenWiFi XT8. Despite the same look and similar hardware specs, the two have little …
The ZenWiFi AX Mini (model XD4) is ASUS’s third purpose-built AiMesh Wi-Fi system, after the XT8 and CT8, and it turned out to be the most complete one in my testing. So, the third time seems to be the charm, and that’s the good news. The bad is this mesh …
If you can’t justify the ZenWiFi AX (CT8)’s cost, here’s some excellent news. ASUS announced today the availability of a more affordable alternative, the ZenWiFi AX Mini AX1800 dual-band Mesh WiFi 6 System (model XD4). ASUS ZenWiFi AX Mini XD4: A subdued Wi-Fi 6 AiMesh system As the name suggests, …
The ZenWiFi XT8 AX6600 Whole-Home tri-band Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System (model XT8) is a souped-up version of the CT8. Both are part of the new ZenWiFi family ASUS announced earlier this year. The only differences between the two, albeit big ones, are that the XT8 features Wi-Fi 6 and a …
The ZenWiFi AC (model CT8) is not the first canned Wi-Fi system from ASUS, but in my opinion, it’s the first built with the popular AiMesh feature in mind. The mesh is part of ASUS’s new ZenWiFi family, announced earlier this month at CES 2020, including a Wi-Fi 6 version, …
“Love Wi-Fi 6, but you should keep Wi-Fi 5, too,” seems the message ASUS wants to remind everyone. The networking vendor today showcased at CES 2020 multiple products that bridge the two Wi-Fi generations. Details of these products are still incomplete right now, but you can expect to buy at …
