ASUS ZenWiFi Pro XT12 AX11000 (2 Pack) Tri-Band WiFi 6 Mesh, Covers Up to 6000 Sqr Feet, Supporting Lifetime Free Internet Security, Parental Control Functions, Dual 2.5G Ethernet Ports

Ok, let me address some repeating comments here first. This system can transmit at upto 6GBps if you link the two nodes by a cable. This is standard practice and shouldn’t be seen as false advertising. If you use the Wireless meshing system you utilise one of the two 5Ghz radios as a dedicated mesh backhaul. That still gives you a great WiFi AX network. Also if your looking at true 6Gbps requirement you will need 10Gbps wired infrastructure to everything else anyway so it really isn’t a problem. I have about 70 WiFi devices in my home and there is no bottle neck across the network and I am using the WiFi mesh. Right, onto the main review. This router and node kit is fantastic! Powerful, fast and full of useful features from an easy to use App (Android and iOS both available FOC) or the web GUI. Features include advanced IPS and gateway antivirus (provided by Trend Micro), full VPN server, excellent QoS and a host of other features for the advanced user. Setup was a breeze via the iOS app and from unboxing to fully configured mesh WiFi took less than 10 minutes. Please note however that the WAN port is presented as upto 2.5Gb Ethernet so you will need a Modem if you use VDSL/FTTC. I have a DrayTek Vigor 130 in my setup but the white OpenReach modems will be just as good for 99% of users. So far it has been rock solid and not missed a beat. There are some really cool features built in including a Speedtest.net plugin to test directly on the router (so you don’t have the drop between router and client) l, also a real-time traffic monitor lets you see how much bandwidth each device on your network is using in real time (great for fault finding) the VPN server works flawlessly as does the endpoint for Site-to-Site VPN. This is a great router system for both standard and advanced home users and would definitely recommend!

I bought 2 x 2 packs of the ZenWiFi AX to replace 7 Linksys Velop 7 Pros that were failing miserably, given I was in a late Victorian multi-storey house covering 3,000sq.ft., due to their poor coverage in my environment. These ZenWiFi AXs are fantastic, cover a large area with client speeds in the 500-700Mps range and backhaul in the multi-gigabit range. A stable mesh system makes for highly reliable inter-node connections and for trouble free 4K+ video streaming. I ran a ping for a week and only 1 in 20,000 packets dropped (34 out of 636,000 packets sent). The 4 units cover all four floors with the lowest speeds I am seeing around 300-400Mbs mark. Setup when using the router capability looked straight forward, but I did not want to change my addressing scheme and have subnets so needed to run in AP mode with AiMesh. This proved not so intuitive to set up and took a few hours, using a combination of the App and the Web Interface. That said it all works beautifully. The Asus App and Web interface knock spots of Linksys equivalent. Very happy with my purchase, highly recommend.

I have two broadband services coming into the property. One is fibre, the other standard broadband. I’ve had previous ASUs routers before and I do find them reliable and updated with new firmware for many years. The XT8 gives access to the informative ASUS software, which I personally like. It lets me monitor traffic, gives me tools to reduce issues. I can setup vpn within the router if I want. Big reason for this router is it allows me to link 2 broadband packages, in either fallback or split traffic according to other criteria. I have switched the wireless off on my other 2 routers. The signal quality at close range is very good and since I’ve had it there have been a couple of firmware updates. As a make, I have found ASUS to be reliable, versatile in how to set it up. The software can be accessed through a simple IP address and changing passwords is straight forward. It has wpa3 as well as wpa2, so if your device supports the newer standard, then good. My work pc supports wifi6, so does my mobile and a couple of other devices, which is good. I only got the single device as I can use my older asus router if needed as an extender. It takes up minimal space and fits in to my white wall background fine. Works fine with the ASUS app as well. It has a 2.5GB Ethernet port on the back as well as a standard USB 3 port. All I can say is my experience has been quite positive, and I use it everyday. ****Update**** I recently struggling to get my 160MHz range to show. this happened after doing a couple of firmware updates, as I had originally been able to see it. After this latest update and doing a complete reset of the system I now have it back again. It is the freq with the least interference, caused especially by living in a flat in London. So far it has remained stable. On my PC using a intel AX200 card, speed varied between 1.4 - 1.7Gbps

Very easy to setup router, either by using the mobile app or console via a browser. You don't really need to be a big expert to go through it all. But for anyone who likes to tinker a bit more there's lots of options and security features to play with! It has a built in firewall, parental controls, VPN, traffic analyser and more. It even can do integration with Amazon Alexa if you fancy it. I purchased it ahead of getting a new gigabit line as I was fed up with how bad the latency was with Virgin Media, and it can definitely handle the speeds across both wired and wireless. Very strong signal strength throughout the house and provides a solid stable connection. The 3 wireless bands give lots of bandwidth and it has the 2.4 network for things such as smart devices which are all working without issue. I'd also be lying if I said I didn't buy it for the looks, very sleek design and looks great in my office. You can choose whether you want the RGB lights or not which can be customised to your liking. It's certainly on the more expensive side, but if you want a high performance router with strong stability and long term use then I'd highly recommend it!

Asus offre sempre qualità superiore. Molto buoni come qualità di ricezione/trasmissione. Design top.

After a lot of research, and coming from almost twenty years of poor performance routers, repeaters, etc, including from reputable brands like Netgear, Dlink, TpLink, finally decided to fill my house with four of these all wired. I can predict at least a decade of pure performance and reliability. Important: contrary to market trends, you DO NOT need an account, they DO NOT collect your data, and you DO NOT require a subscription for anything. Web interface very comprehensive. Mobile app is simple but effective

Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit der WLAN-Verbindung.

Nie polecam. Bardzo ograniczone funkcjonalności względem routera z OpenWRT. Pogodziłem się z brakiem USB, ale brak podstawowych funkcji ustawienia sieci skreśla ten router. Główne powody 1) Ograniczone możliwości konfiguracji sieci VLAN - brak możliwości przypisania VLAN do sieci podstawowej. 2) Brak możliwości przypisania adresów IP dla innych podsieci (gościnnych) 3) Brak wydania Merlin wspierającego VLAN 4) Brak możliwości ustawienia firewall w zakresie dostępu do sieci gościnnych i pomiędzy nimi.

I bought this by mistake and i compare it with linksys Hydra pro 6e and i shocked, because linksys is AXE 6600 and asus is AX11000. And both give me almost same result. Sorry Asus i am very disappointed.
