ASUS ZenWiFi BT6 Tri-Band WiFi 7 Mesh, 9.4 Gbps, 7600 sq.ft. (3pk), 2.5G WAN Port, Security and Parental Controls Included, Smart Home Master SSIDs, 4G & 5G Mobile Tethering- BT6 (W-3-PK)

Upload compared to my Eero 6+ was horrible. Download was marginally better. On paper this is a good gigabyte system but in reality it had lesser range. Ended up returning it. App and settings are great though. Maybe only the upper end units like the BQ16 actually perform like they should.

This mesh router system replaced an older Netgear dual-band Wifi6 unit that has been running for over 7 years, 24/7, and is now out of support. We decided to replace that router before it failed on us, as we work from home and cannot afford to lose our network. Our older system did cover the entire house, but there were definitely weak spots where connection speeds would drop and the older unit did not cover our entire backyard very well. This new mesh system provides outstanding coverage throughout every part of our house - we have gigabit fiber internet and with three nodes, this system is easily able to saturate that, giving full speed even at the furthest edges of the house and yard. We chose to use the same SSID and passphrase as our old router, so every internet-connected device in our house connected automatically, as soon as we powered it on and it initialized itself. Setup took a few minutes for the unit to boot up, connect to our fiber gateway, and then connect to its mesh nodes. After that, we simply relocated the nodes roughly evenly through the house, one on the main level along with the base unit, and one upstairs in the game room. The result? Perfect signal throughout the entire house and yard. The Asus software is straightforward and easy to use, and provides excellent real-time monitoring and logging capability, along with now-standard features like firewalling, custom domain keyword blocks, VPN support, etc. The unit also supports a guest network as well as an older-spec dual-band “IoT” network for any smart devices in the home that may not be fully compatible with Wifi7. Each of the three units has several ethernet ports for hardwired connectivity for non-Wifi devices in addition to simply extending the network mesh. Handoff for devices moving through the house like smartphones and smart watches is seamless. Everything in the house simply works, from streaming boxes, tablets, phones, watches and smart home devices. All in all, this is an excellent choice for a typical highly-connected modern house.

On paper, it looks great but in reality, it’s a disaster. Constant random disconnects, and the LAN port only works sometimes!!!. Honestly, don’t even waste your time and money. A 20-year-old router would be more reliable than this peiceof JUNK.

Only having 1Gbps lan ports makes it extremely odd and difficult to use. Although signal is solid and works as expected. Spend few more hundreds for BT8 or even get other brands is smarter move. Seriously, I don't think having only 1Gbps lan ports is acceptable at this price.

Performance is worst than a $30 device. After paying so much, the network is very spotty even closer to the device. One of the device doesnt even connect most of the times. It needs a restart every day. Mobile phones have hard time connecting. Only the main device works fine other 2 are very bad. Avoid buying this junk of a piece.
