Review: WiFi everywhere - The best mesh system I’ve used so far.
Review: Works great with some issues - Update: 3-28-2020. Still having issues with the primary router always connecting with the 5 g network, particularly when it is in the ax mode. Supposedly this system is backward compatible with other adapters but by switching it off the ax mode and then back on a few minutes later then it seems work ok. Shouldn't have to do this Asus. Try to fix it, I can't be the only one who has this issue. Devices generally will connect to the node without any issues. Update: 3-8-2020 I'm finding that some of devices will not connect to the 5 G network when the system is in ax mode. Even if I'm but 5 ft. away. Switch the ax mode off and it will connect both the 2.4 and 5 networks. Go figure. Occasionally I have to switch the ax mode back on to get some other device to connect properly. I often take the device into another room some 15ft or more away and it will connect with the 5G without any issues.??? Update: 3-2-2020 My Blue Cave node was inconsistent on wifi but excellent with the ethernet so I tried a RT-AC68A as a node and it works great. Both the ethernet and the wifi provide excellent speeds in the basement some 25 feet away. I don't plan on sending it back since I'm very happy with it so far. Have had to make a few adjustments here and there because not all digital devices are "equal". If you don't mind paying up for a system it is pretty hard to beat for setup and performance. One thing to add: when I set up the node I used an ethernet cable from the main router lan to the AC68A wan. For some reason it would not locate it wirelessly. Update: 2-24-2020 Went into the wireless in the menu and enabled WIFI Agile Multiband for both the 2.4 and 5g networks. (I disabled the smart connect right out of the box.) It will ask you to change the Protected management Frames also. Did so not knowing what the outcome might be but these changes seemed to help with the issue of the mesh switching between the nodes and the primary router. Also, my phones would not hook up to the primary router sitting 5 ft. away but since the afore mentioned changes that issue is gone and the speeds have been excellent. I added a star to my orignal review since the system is working much better. I sure as hell would like a manual to look at rather than just a quick setup document. If someone out there has some ideas or additional adjustments that can be made I'm all ears. FIRST REVIEW: This is an early impression of my experience so far. 2-pak setup was very easy and straight forward. Had to reset once but couldn't find the reset button until I looked on the very bottom of the router. By the way the wps button is there also. I'm paying for 200 mgb and will get 200 to 260 with my desktop 7 ft away. My motorola z3 play generally gets 140 to 170 depending on where I am. I was getting 160 to 200 in the basement 25 ft. away on a desktop. The all those scores are on wifi. I setup an additional Blue Cave node in the basement (which was another story) and connected to two different desktops with ethernet cables. At times they are ripping along at 230 to 260 or may drop off to 80 to 90 for no apparent reason. I disconnected the cables reconnected and the speeds went up again???? (This issue has vanished after making the above mentioned changes). The app will sometimes show the blue cave is offline yet it is working. I have some similar questions as a few others have had about bothersome issues that have arisen. Will address these later. I finally disabled the ax mode for 2.4 and 5g and it seemed to put some of these issues to rest for awhile. I have had ASUS routers for years and love them along with the menu. These two have me considering going back to my older routers because they were more reliable. I'm not a computer guru but I can handle most of the basic computer issues and projects. We don't buy the hardware to continually reboot, reconnect, and try work arounds to make the systems work. Update: 9-22-2020 Additional thoughts on the zenwifi routers. I've found that I need to keep it in the non-AX mode so all of my cameras, wall plugs, etc will remain connected all of the time. ALSO, THE RESET AND WPS BUTTONS ARE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE ROUTER. Nothing in the instructions that I could see regarding their location so if you are looking for them check the bottom. The wifi range is excellent; the speed is excellent; and the app works very well setting the routers up. I'm paying for 200mbs but I get 260+ download with wifi in the same room and 200+ downstairs in the basement. One additional point: Since the recent updates adding my Blue Cave router to the mesh was much easier than when I first started using the zenwifi XT8 mesh system.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it possible to run all the nodes with an ethernet backhaul (so between themselves, as well as to the main router)?**
A: Yes, that's possible, but unnecessary.  I'm using the system with wireless backhaul and speed is fantastic.  400mbps internet, and I get 100-120% of that speed everywhere in the house, whether using the main node or the satellite.  This is a tri-band system (and the 3rd band is 5ghz) so the 3rd band is dedicated to backhaul and you get essentially a full wireless band for backhaul.  This system kicks butt!  So fast.

**Q: I have seen nothing on the internet saying that Asus has approved 3 units together.  Does 3 at once work?**
A: Yes, I have four in my house working very well together. In response to the other reply asking why one would have 3 in the same house, it's because there are a lot of problems transmitting through certain walls, most likely due to metal. My house is only about 2300 sq. ft. yet four are required in strategic locations to get good coverage in the entire house without dead zones.

**Q: What’s the difference between the Ax92u and this series?**
A: I actually own both products. This is actually a far more powerful product. The ax92u is a 1.8ghz dual core processor and is a great router or mesh node, but lacks the power or versatility that this system has.

**Q: Is this product white or charcoal? the description says charcoal but the model is w which suggests white.**
A: It comes in both colors.  I have the white version and they look petty good, and not like a typical router.  I like the fact the antennas are internal

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutamente increible!!! 1000% recomendado!
*by Y***Z on 29 December 2023*

Ya habia probado varios aparatos para poder sostener e "incrementar" la velocidad de mi WIFI en toda la casa, estos aparatos en verdad impresionan, en cualquier punto de mi casa de 2 pisos, la señal llega y alcanza casi lo mismo que cuando estas a lado del modem, mi caso tengo 500 MB, hemos logrado en horarios nocturnos alcanzar 800 MB de velocidad en el segundo piso, es increible el aparato en general extraordinario, durante el dia siempre por arriba de los 300 MB, consideren claramente que tengan un plan de internet que les brinde esta capacidad, hoy dia ya no es tan caro. :)
