ASUS ZenWiFi BT6 Tri-Band WiFi 7 Mesh, 9.4 Gbps, 5800 sq.ft. (2pk), 2.5G WAN Port, Security and Parental Controls Included, Smart Home Master SSIDs, 4G & 5G Mobile Tethering- BT6 (W-2-PK)

We purchase the system to upgrade our home router, extend coverage throughout our home and future-proof our network with Wi-Fi 7 capability. The router was easy to set up and works great! We got rid of those dead coverage areas we had with our previous round router and are very pleased. Asus is a solid brand and provides great security. Would highly recommend this mesh router.

Not sure why everyone says the speeds are slow, makes me wonder if they have checked thier modem and it's abilities. Personally I know thats where my limiting factor is since I run a nighthawk cm1200 which caps each lan port to a gig. All that said I've ran multiple tests and im happy with the results. Set up was slightly annoying but may have been because I didnt have the router main and node close enough initially.All and all very happy and looks like its time for a new modem to utilize this set up properly.

Didn’t not work with Verizon FIOS for me. I recently had 1gig FIOS fiber installed. The FIOS router gave great wire speeds but it’s WiFi was slower than my old ISP running half the speed. I decided to get better router. I installed the ASUS BT6. On a wired connection I got 950 mbps download speed! Beautiful! (But same as FIOS). On upload I got 2 mbps. That right, TWO! Tried everything I could think of. Tried everything Chatgpt could think of. Spent 90+ minutes of the phone with ASUS and still no luck. My return window is closing so it’s going back. Bought a Ubiquiti Dream Router 7 and I get 950 mbps down AND up! And it took all of 5 minutes to set up. (BTW I knew the FIOS fiber and ONT modem were working because my laptop with a cable connection to the modem was getting 950 down & up as well. )The hard wired connectivity was unacceptable (of course as was the wireless performance given the incompatibility of the cable connection) and a couple of my slower printers running WiFi 5 could not see the SSID I created.All told it was a big bunch of NO.

First purchase for my ZenWifi mesh. I had an older Asus router that had Aimesh capabilities and I bought this to increase my coverage. It has only one 2.5 WAN/LAN port and I could not connect it by Ethernet to my older router which has a 2.5 WAN port. I really wanted to take advantage of a 2.5 Ethernet backhaul. So I purchased the BT8 to use as the main, and connected the two and I couldn’t be happier. Easy to set up. No dropped signals and covered a lot of my house when it was the main router. As the node, it easily connects with my phone and laptops where it now resides on the top floor. 6Ghz fast! I recommend this as a standalone, but if you wish to have a 2.5 or 10 Ethernet backhaul this will not be the model you want. As a node, this works very well. Minus one star for the lack of a second 2.5 port. You may save a little money by purchasing a BT6 and BT8 instead of a pair of BT8’s. As the combo works great for me.

Best router app and webui that gives COMPLETE control over your setup. This is likely due in part that it uses WRT. I'm very happy with ASUS after leaving behind my overpriced my Ubiquiti Amplifi Alien. I'll never look back.

I've mentioned this before. I'm an old network guy of 30 years that's kind of retired now. I was running two networks at the house, one for the house and family and one for my office which I just deprecated, installing MoCA for back haul replacing my Office network. In the house I am running the Asus BQ16 Pro and have been for over a year. One problem in the beginning but it has been rock solid ever since. In my office I am running the Asus BE98U, a beast unit that's been running for over a year with no issues. My office 98U is now part of the overall network mesh but I had a particular use case where both the 98U and BQ16 were a waste and overkill enter the BT6. I received it yesterday, paired it with the mesh and was up in 10 minutes. Great little unit that fits the requirement I had very nicely. Good wireless coverage and worked as advertised out of the box. I have run equipment from TP-Link, Orbi, Linksys and now Asus. The mesh of different routers works flawlessly and being a network person the customization options are fantastic for me. Very happy with the purchase.

I love the app interface. It is so much simpler to use than our previous router. Too bad the parental controls won’t work! I have tried multiple times to turn on the “Family” option both on a device individually and by setting up a profile and adding each device to a profile, but neither worked.Also, the speed for download is terrible. It frequently takes 30+ seconds to load a single page, often timing out. We had to switch back to our old router and the same page takes seconds. I’ve tried following Asia’s YouTube videos on improving speed with no success. I would not recommend these.

These wifi mesh nodes are working perfectly. I purchased the set to use as two nodes for an existing router. The instructions provided only define setting up as a parent router with the second unit working as a child node. However, this set can also be used to provide two nodes two an existing router using the ASUS router app.
