ZenWiFi ET9

u/crispysmoove I agree with u/TheImmortal_TK that ASUS would be a solid pick for you. BTW I have the slightly older ASUS XT8 mesh system and it works well in wireless backhaul, as it's tri-band WiFi 6 (2.4/5/5ghz bands). One of the 5ghz bands is dedicated to mesh traffic and the other 5ghz is just f

I have the WiFi 6 version (older brother) of the ET9, called the ASUS XT8. It works great in wireless backhaul. Only need to reboot the mesh node once in a while (not perfect but very good considering it's wireless). To make it bulletproof I had to use wired backhaul via ethernet. I don't have ether

I agree. A 2-pack of the BT10 mesh units is $549.99 at Amazon right now. The 2nd cheapest price I see is an “open box” 2-pack on eBay for $429: For used hardware! TP-Link WiFi 7 mesh systems are cheaper, but they’re made by TP-Link - don’t like their subscription model for security features. If you

I don't recommend upgrading to WiFi 7 just for MLO (multi-link operation). Even if your router supports MLO, the client must support it too; otherwise, it's not utilized. More info from ASUS's website: https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1053342/ I have seen mixed reports on how well MLO works. I think

Hi u/carrootscaps - I’m a different person than who you replied to but I think I can answer the questions. “True mesh” and “marrying” means a system built from the ground up to be a mesh system, with client handoff between mesh nodes. “Handoff” ensures if you are using a device that moves around the
