ZenWiFi BT10

I have an ASUS BT10 as my primary router and BT8 as a node. I think it’s an excellent system, especially if you can hard wire the two together. I personally switched from TP-Link due to the possibility of security concerns, and also there was some discussion around possibly banning TP-Link sales in

Personally have two asus BT10's. They work great and have had no issues with them. Initially had them wire backhaul but currently using them wireless backhaul. They are pricy but work great and won't have to upgrade for years
