ASUS ZenWiFi Pro XT12 AX11000 Tri-Band WiFi 6 Mesh WiFi System - Covers Up to 3000 Sqr Feet, Supporting Lifetime Free Internet Security and Parental Control Functions, Dual 2.5G Ethernet Ports 1 Pack

After having read many reviews on various mesh setups and asking many questions about if the wifi signal would penetrate a solid brick house I was a little nervous when I finally bit the bullet and ordered this setup.I needn't have worried, after firstly setting up which was an absolute breeze on the ASUS router app and reconfiguring the network SSID and passwords to my chosen names, it was then simple to then re add all my network devices, assumedly as there had been a router change and protocols maybe needed to be reset, I'm no tech wizard so I don't fully understand the this then that protocols but getting things setup was fairly easy.The one thing that did cause me a headache was my NAS drive which because port forwarding and UPnP had been disabled I then had to do a bit of self educating and sign into the ASUS router and switch things on, I think these were switched off for extra layers of security purposes/So the main router is sat under my stairs at the front of the house and the node is upstairs in our 3rd bedroom approximately 10metres away from the main router and as this is an old brick house its using the wireless dedicated backhaul as the communication method which is working excellently and giving us a much improved wifi signal all around our home and further and stronger into our gardens, a big plus.This setup was bought to replace a router provided by our ISP which worked but didn't give the quality of signal particularly upstairs and we've noticed significant improvements in how our smart home features are more reliable since changing the router from the zyxel to the ASUS. Our ISP also wanted £5 per month more for a mesh setup node to work with our old router but it simply wasn't fit for purpose and had no improvement in our signal strength/quality, yes this router was pricey but it goes to show you get what you pay for.I would heartily recommend this mesh setup as it fulfils our needs perfectly and should hopefully be future proof for some time to come.

I had a AiMesh combo GT-AX11000 + RT-AX92U which was very unstable (wireless backhaul constantly dropping to 2.4GHz band). After much hesitation I decided to give Asus AiMesh another chance with a system dedicated for it, and this XT12 seemed to fit the bill.So far I'm very happy with it. The AiMesh has been stable for weeks, the range with 2 units is amazing.One issue I had when setting up: I originally left Smart Connect on to have only 1 SSID for 2 bands (the other 5GHz being dedicated for backhaul), and with that setup, AiMesh was very unstable, with the satellite unit loosing connection (fast blinking green LED, not sure what that means). As soon as I removed Smart Connect, everything was good. As it's my preferred setup, I'm not too bothered, but still, that costs 1 star... It may be down to firmware as this product is fairly new.In term of speeds, nothing to complain about. It's handling well the BT FullFibre 900, and Wifi speeds are satisfactory.Bonus: Merlin firmware is supported on this device, and has been working like a charm (gives a much more reactive UI as well...)

I need to justify why I say these could be the best Asus routers. They are not the fastest, they don't have all the latest tech - but they look stylish and they are fast! I have tested almost every Asus router from the last few years. I have an odd layout to my house, which previously required 6 different routers (combination of XT8's and AX86U). I was using the 3rd 5Ghz band of the XT8's in wireless mesh mode, and connect via cable to the AX86U. I sold those other routers and replaced them with 3 XT12's. Initially 2 were connected through ethernet, but eventually I connected the remaining one with ethernet. The speeds were fast when using wireless AIMesh - but even faster wired. I have a 2gb connection, and I get download speeds of up to 1.2gb on my iPhone a few meters away from the router.I should add that I had to wire these in as I live in an area that constantly gets affected by DFS, meaning the 3rd WiFi band (5ghz-2) would disconnect. But since wiring them, the speeds are amazing. I use this in full triband mode and this gives me great coverage - when I am indoors, the 5ghz-1 band is used (as it has lower power output), but when I am further away from the router, that's when the more powerful output of the 5ghz-2 band is useful.I recommend this device for both wired and wireless mesh setups. There is a very similar ET12 available, where the 3rd band uses 6Ghz. I would only recommend this if you are going to have a fully wired mesh system, eg 2 or more ET12's connected via ethernet. And only then if you really need to use 6E - very few devices support it. But, as the range of 6Ghz is worse than 5Ghz - you will get better performance from a fully wired XT12 than the ET12, due to having the 2nd band in the 5Ghz available, which has higher transmit power. If you are going to be sitting next to the ET12 - then you may appreciate the slightly faster speeds. But as mentioned, I get speeds of 1.2gb on my phone - I am unsure that you will get much faster than this.Of course, these routers don't live in isolation - Asus has other routers in the ROG range that have similar features, eg the AX-11000 pro, the 16000pro - however, these are all massive routers. I did not notice much of a speed difference between these though. Obviously the 16000 pro is the best - but for just a bit more money you could get 2 XT12's - that's hard to beat. Finally, I don't want to knock the XT8's - those are great routers, just not as fast as the XT12's. I also had an XT9 in my setup, however I don't think the price difference is worth it for the XT9.

This is no doubt an expensive product but it is easy to install; simple to update using the Asus app; it works well, definitely improving coverage and signal strength and it looks fantastic.Overall, it has improved our wifi coverage.I would recommend it if you have a tricky wifi location where you need super strength boosting.

Je lui trouve toutes les qualités

Nie polecam. Bardzo ograniczone funkcjonalności względem routera z OpenWRT. Pogodziłem się z brakiem USB, ale brak podstawowych funkcji ustawienia sieci skreśla ten router. Główne powody1) 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 VLAN4) Brak możliwości ustawienia firewall w zakresie dostępu do sieci gościnnych i pomiędzy nimi.

Great product easy to setup. Wifi coverage is as advertised, transfer speeds are excellent. In terms of plugs, it’s the European connection only, you will need to ensure you have adaptors or buy 2 pin female AU separately. You won’t be dissapointed.

Dans une grande maison, je fonctionnait depuis des années avec des répéteur WiFi Netgear Nighthawk (1 AX8/EAX80 et 1 X6S) qui faisait le job mais avec des débits médiocres par rapport à mon fibre Free. Là, c'est la révolution ! Je suis passé de 10Mo/s dans mon bureau à 50Mo/s...!Certes le prix est élevé mais ça vaut le coup.Juste la configuration en mode AP est un peu complexe.

Diciamo che mantiene promesse molto potente rispetto la media e stabile App comoda menu Asus niente da dire. Comunque copre tutta la mia casa su due piani di 100mq a piano con muri di calcestruzzo ecc... fin ora nessun altro router c'è la faceva....e poi aimesch é fantastico 2 piani sotto nella interrato via lan e Ottimo
