ZenWiFi ET9

In an apartment situation, you likely only need one router. However, and because of sale price, my suggestion would be to consider the ASUS ZenWiFi ET9. It comes in a 2-pack, features 2.5GB WAN ports, 802.11AXE (WiFi 6E) and the new un-congested 6Ghz Band. You’ll want 6Ghz band while living in an ap

Hey there. I have an Asus ZenWiFi ET9 mesh network. My house is a fairly large sidesplit very spaced out. About 50 yrs old. Lots of walls and and things that were somewhat of a challenge. One ET9 is the router and 3 moreI have connected by wired backhaul on different levels of the house. I ran cat 8

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

ASUS ZenWiFi ET9 (2 Pack) Mesh Routers are on sale for $99 on the ASUS website. The lowest price Amazon has offered is $200 and they have good reviews.

Thanks for the post! Great deal for the right scenario. If someone could use wired backhaul (ethernet) for connecting mesh nodes, I think this system would work well. Or if someone wanted to add WiFi 6E wired Access Points to an existing internal network, this is a fantastic option at only $99 for b

No worries. In that case I’d try a tri-band mesh system (like ASUS XT8, as I suggested). It has two 5ghz bands (one for clients, one for wireless mesh comms) so clients get full bandwidth on 2.4ghz and 5ghz. Since the rooms are right next to each other and there’s probably only one wall in the way,

If you can wire the mesh units together with ethernet, the ASUS ET9 mesh system (WiFi 6E) would work well and is only $99 for a two pack right now: https://www.asus.com/us/networking-iot-servers/whole-home-mesh-wifi-system/zenwifi-wifi-systems/asus-zenwifi-et9/ ASUS claims a coverage area of up to 5

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
