ASUS ZenWiFi ET8 vs. XT8: Pretty Much the Same Hardware with a BIG Twist
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 …
ASUS ZenWiFi ET8 Review: A Worthy Mesh for a Wired (or Airy) Home
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 …
ASUS GS-AX3000 Review (vs. RT-AX3000): A Solid Gaming Router

The ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 Wi-Fi 6E Gaming Router, originally announced in September 2020, didn’t materialize until early 2021. And it still made it to be the very first Wi-Fi 6E broadcaster in the world. Months later, there are still just a few 6GHz clients, namely, the Samsung S21 Ultra …
ASUS RP-AX56 Review: A Solid and Versatile Budget Mesh-Ready Access Point
I’d get the ASUS RP-AX56 AX1800 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Repeater in a heartbeat. At $100 apiece, it’s a steal. And that’s a grand statement since, for years, I’ve made it clear that I’m no fan of Wi-Fi repeaters, especially dual-band ones. But the RP-AX56 is much more than just a …
