Asus Zenwifi Et12

The ZenWiFi Pro ET12 is working great. I was able set it up in less than an hour. I now have high speed wifi through out my whole house and garage. Also I am using the wireless bridge (6ghz) and still getting great speeds.

The ZenWiFi ET12 system was easy to set up, and it is FAST! I used the same SSID and password as my previous system it recognized most of my devices automatically. A few of devices required a reboot before they would connect to the new system. I am pleased with this purchase even though with a few compromises, I could have bought another system for much cheaper.

The Asus Zen WiFi Pro ET12 offers the best range and speed you can find on the market these days. I have 2gbps service from my ISP and with a WiFi connection to my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra I get speeds of 1200-1500mbps when I am close to one of the devices. Wired speeds over ethernet I get 2400-2500. I like that it has two 2.5gbps ports so I can connect 1 to my desktop and use the other as a wired backhaul connection to the other unit. The range is also phenomenal. I get strong service throughout my 2600 square foot home but also on the back deck, to outside cameras, in the back yard, and I even got a good signal across the cul-de-sac in my neighbor's driveway! The number of walls and the type of material they are made (brick, etc.) of do impact the performance but the ET12 powers through better than any other router or mesh system I have used. With the original firmware they had 2 separate SSIDs: one for 6ghz and the other for 5 and 2.4ghz. I was happy that with a firmware update they combined everything into a single SSID (although you can still split them in the settings if you prefer) and it chooses the best connection type. One side-note, if you, like me, are venturing into multi-gig speeds for the first time, be aware that a lot of hardware has a 1gbps speed limit. For me I needed a new fiber gateway from my ISP, all CAT 6 network cables (not CAT 5E or 5), a Zyxel 8-port 2.5gbps switch, and an Asus 10gbps network card for my desktop computer. The ethernet cable that comes with the ET12 is unfortunately CAT 5E which tops out at 1gbps.

I had been using the Asus XT8 mesh system for the past year or so. I've had no issues with them whatsoever. I just switched over to Frontier fiber optics and decided to upgrade to the Asus ET12 Pro. Yes it's a lot of money and yes I do have a couple of devices that can take advantage of wifi 6E. But I mainly wanted to invest in something that would keep up with my higher speeds and also be futureproof. So far this setup has exceeded my expectations. I have it set up with a wired backhaul and it does make a difference compared to wireless backhaul. As usual with Asus's router app it was a breeze to setup. I had a couple of questions about the setup so I contacted the supplied customer support number and they answered all of them. My decision to buy the ET12's was also greatly influenced by their appearance. As you can tell so far I am happy with my decision to purchase the ET12's.

Beyond happy with the Asus ZenWifi ET12. Great feature set and highly customizable within app or web interface. Much more control than I was used to with the Orbi Mesh system we replaced. Setup was a breeze and took minutes. Really appreciate that Asus includes network security for life that is not an additional expense. Coverage is great and the Mesh seamlessly hands devices off from one node to another. My iPhone 15 gets blazing speeds on the 6GHz band and I love the fact that those speeds only modestly decrease I increase my distance from the node and we flip to 5GHz. The app is fabulous and offers extensive information and network control. Very happy with this purchase.

ASUS once again rules the roost of my home network! I upgraded my older ASUS routers to the new ZenWiFi XT9 and could not be happier. Easy set up of the router and node, they connected well and my coverage is larger and my speeds are faster. Easy networking controls through the user friendly portal allow me to configure and optimize the network with easy. My family thinks I'm a tech genius, but it is ASUS who are the geniuses who make me look good! Our home is 4,200 square feet with a large outdoor area that requires coverage and the ZenWiFi XT9 does the trick easily. Highly recommend.

I just upgraded my home network to this router (ASUS ZenWiFi ET8). My hope is for this to provide a stable platform with enough bandwidth to provide access points for a growing smart home, internet and streaming. So far so good. We are getting Gigabit speeds on the hardwired PC and close to gigabit on our phones. This is an improvement over the previous network mesh router we had, it seemed to be capped around 600MB. This is one of the only routers to support all the latest standards, so hopefully it will be good for a few years at least. Installation was easy as long as you have some basic understanding of networks. We gave the new router the same name and password as the previous one and all the smart home equipment moved to the new router with no problems. Right now, I believe this is the best home router you can buy.

We purchased the ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) after a new fiber connection was run to our house and our previous router failed a day later. The ASUS was very easy to set up and connect and the range is phenomenal. With a 250MB fiber connection, the mesh system maintains a wireless connection at over 100 yards, through two 6" walls and through a very dense woods to an outbuilding and is still running at a very usable 30MB speed which was totally unexpected.

The ASUS ZenWiFi AX is a strong and fast router. A great purchase that has many helpful features that serve my family well.

I am very satisfied with the performance of the ASUS ZenWiFi XT9 router. It has good range and coverage and was quite easy to set up. So far I have no complaints. My sons told me how much they liked their ASUS WiFi routers so when I needed to upgrade my home system ASUS was my first pick.
