Boost the Wi-Fi coverage in your home or business with the ASUS ZenWiFi ET9 AX7800 Wireless Tri-Band Gigabit Mesh Wi-Fi System, which includes two white 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6E modules that can be configured to be a router or satellite. Together, they can transfer up to 7780 Mb/s over the 6, 5, and 2.4 GHz bands, covering an area of about 5700 square feet to deliver smooth video streaming, online gaming, and web browsing experiences.

With mesh technology, your network operates using a single ID (SSID), allowing you to move seamlessly from room to room without interrupting your connection. You can quickly expand your wireless coverage by adding ASUS AiMesh compatible routers and devices to your network. You can also use the ZenWiFi ET9 modules as access points by connecting wired devices such as computers, smart TVs, and video game consoles to the three Gigabit LAN ports.

Featuring six powerful internal antennas that take advantage of the 160 MHz channels, the ZenWiFi ET9 takes advantage of the 6 GHz band, which works alongside the 5 and 2.4 GHz frequencies to deliver a total throughput of 7780 Mb/s with compatible devices.

Take advantage of multi-Gig internet connections by connecting your broadband modem to the 2.5 Gigabit WAN port. You can increase your bandwidth with compatible devices by combining the WAN port with a Gigabit LAN port using link aggregation.

You can configure the ET9 modules to communicate with each other over the 6 GHz band to maximize the bandwidth of the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz frequencies. Or you can physically connect the modules to each other via Ethernet cables, allowing you full access to all three Wi-Fi bands. The Smart Connect feature delivers smooth experiences by intelligently assigning devices to the most reliable Wi-Fi band available.

Use the ASUS Router app on your mobile device to quickly configure your ZenWiFi ET9 devices with a quick 3-step process. You can also issue voice commands such as enabling the guest network login and pausing the internet using Alexa and Google Assistant devices.

The free, subscription-free AiProtection Pro service helps to protect your network against internet-based attacks, viruses, malicious websites, and more.

Access your home internet connection from almost anywhere in the world with the integrated Instant Guard VPN, which delivers added security when using public Wi-Fi.

Connect a compatible device such as a printer or flash drive to the USB-A 3.1 Gen 1 port to share it with all connected devices across your network. You may also connect your phone or mobile internet device as a backup if your main internet service goes down.
