ASUS ZenWiFi XT9 AX7800 Tri-Band WiFi6 Mesh WiFiSystem (2Pack), 802.11ax, up to 5700 sq ft & 6+ Rooms, AiMesh, Lifetime Free Internet Security, Parental Controls, 2.5G WAN Port, UNII 4, White

No es tan fácil de instalar directamente con la pc o laptop, me funciono mejor con uno solo conectado y usándolo como mesh, que usando los 2 como mesh, ya qué cuento con un router principal. El segundo, cuando lo instalaba, no distribuian bien el trabajo. Preferiría usar uno solo o tal vez los 2 pero 1 como router y el otro, como mesh.

Review Asus ZENWiFi XT9 This is a review of the 2 unit Mesh system: a router and a node. Asus has done an excellent job of making a very sophisticated system easy to use for the novice. But if you are not a WiFi expert you can get into trouble quick. Fortunately, I do have a good deal of knowledge about these things, but I am far from the “know-it-all” status. I consider Asus the Lexus of computers and WiFi systems. In my opinion it is premium quality equipment. If you are buying a product like this there are some things, you should know. The 5 GHz band, from 5.1 through 5.9 it is a wild and crazy world, it is not completely regulated and there are no real solid rules and regulations to live by. Each company making a mesh system has some flexibility on how they can implement their system in this very undefined area, the 5 GHz band. I selected this system because it seems to be the best WiFi 6 and complete Mesh system out there. I did not feel the WiFi 6e, 7, or 8 is ready for me, maybe 6 or more years down the road. Things you need to know: 1. Model and serial numbers. The Model and serial numbers are on the outside of the box for the two pack – router and node. Those box numbers are used for warranty and registration. 2. Use the Asus Router App on your phone to set it up, you can use the Web Gui later for regular maintenance and adjustments after your system is up and running. 3. Intel WiFi Driver fact sheet “Advanced WiFi Helper Tip” – pay attention to it. It may be very important to you, so do not overlook it. There is no mention of it in the instructions or on the Asus web site, that I know of. I recommend using the Intel WiFi Driver check-up from the Intel download center even if your WiFi card is not listed. That automatic checking by Intel seems to work perfectly and it may improve your laptops. First Set-Up out of the box: This mesh system will establish a WiFi backhaul first. That is accomplished with the second 5-GHz Band, it has the 4x4 antenna and it is 100% rock solid and fast. If you can, I suggest you run it that way at least a couple of days before going to ethernet backhaul. I will venture to say most users will continue in that manner; after all it is an exceptionally strong WiFi backhaul, with only one caveat that I am aware of. As I understand it, the first 5-GHz Bank only has a 2x2 antenna (the caveat). I wanted the absolute maximum speed for all WiFi clients that needed it, so I went with Ethernet backhaul. Now WiFi clients that need the fastest speed, have it with the second 5-GHz band. There are way too many “pros” to list for this product, most of them you will see in the sales literature. Some biggies are: Trend Micro built in. 4 ethernet ports on router and node. USB ports on both units, back up media, or print servers, and many more. A GUI interface that is Top Drawer. Cons: No detailed and complete instruction manual, thus nothing is cataloged or indexed. The Asus web site only provides about half what you may search for. I get better results by doing an internet search, which will often take me to Asus for details on the product. It is odd that Asus does not provide that directly. However, the WEB Gui Links for specific support topics will usually answer about 80% of your questions in a detailed manner. It would be nice if both 5-GHz Bands had the 4x4 antenna. I think you can get that in their products that cost a lot more. DFS, this is part of the non-structured, partially regulated, and unregulated, mess of the 5-GHz world. It appears that Asus has done a very good job to work around the madness. So far, I have had only “one” occurrence when the second 5-GHz band went off-line. It could have been a radar (of any source), it could have been a neighbor next door, or it could have been a result of my “fine” tunning. As of now, it appears that the Asus “auto” mode of channel selection has found a way to bypass the radar issues, only time will tell if that is a true statement. I used a defined SSID for each of the three bands, that is I did not use “Smart Connect” after going to ethernet backhaul. This allowed me to “target” my three bands. For your heavy-duty WiFi Laptops using the 4x4 mode this could make a big difference in the speed. YMMV. I strongly recommend this product.

This replaced an older Linksys router and extender, providing better coverage over all three floors and reaching outside to our Ring system. Coverage and performance is far better using the mesh routers even though the previous system was also WiFi6. Setup was a bit harder than anticipated, having to individually connect each router to a hardwired connection to update and bring the system online, rather than just bringing them close per the directions. After that it has worked well with a few (perhaps 2-3 in several months) dropouts/slowdowns requiring a reboot. Reboots are typically required after a FW update otherwise speed is degraded. After power outages (all too frequent) the system usually recovers cleanly. Signal strength is now consistent from upper floor office to the basement media room, and connection to the outside Ring devices is reliable (unlike the previous system). I now have four mesh routers rather than a main router, extender, media nodes (WAPs), and powerline nodes so the system is much simpler. The ASUS app is good, allowing me to monitor, set conditions, update, check connections, and verify speed and QoS.

La señal del repetidor no conectado vía ethernet es mala y eso solo cuando logra establecer una conexión. Para el precio que pagas deberías de recibir mejor calidad de producto, mejor regreso a Deco.

I bought this router based upon reviews, and boy was I disappointed. Set Up was easy and system was super fast and powerful. I had used the system in bridge mode after my Firwalla and after a few days I noticed the faults. 1: Could not register the units because ASUS kept coming back with incorrect serial numbers (they were correct) 2; Could not get back into the web router settings. This is where you make the major changes, such as bridge vs router 3; Several devices just would not connect 4: the satellite unit just went off-line after the third day. I even tried a factory reset, but all to no avail. 5: tech services could not be reached online since you need to enter a serial number, which ASUS would not accept. Calling was useless: on hold for 30 minutes and then I gave up Packed up the system and sent it back. I'll stick with my eero pro6 set-up for now. It is a slow but a steady proformer.
