Enhance your home or office with blistering fast wireless connections with the ASUS ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro BE30000 Wireless Quad-Band Multi-Gig Mesh Wi-Fi Module. Configurable as a router or satellite to existing mesh network, this white Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) quad-band wireless mesh module is designed to deliver up to 30 Gb/s throughput over the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and dual 6 GHz bands, providing smooth 8K video streaming and extremely low latency gaming experiences.

One of the 6 GHz bands may be used as a dedicated backhaul to efficiently communicate with other ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro modules. This module supports up to 4000 square feet of coverage and can operate using a single network ID (SSID) with a mesh network, providing seamless connectivity as you move from room to room. With both 10G and 1G internet and device connectivity, you're free to upgrade to multi-Gig services at your own pace. You can also connect a 4G LTE or 5G LTE device to the USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 port to ensure internet access if the main service goes offline. Use the ASUS Router app on your Android or iOS device to configure your network, including guest logins and parental controls. You can also connect to your home network via a VPN for additional security when using a public Wi-Fi hotspot.

Featuring 12 internal antennas, the ASUS ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro is designed to deliver a total quad-band throughput of up to 30,198 Mb/s with compatible devices. Beamforming, MU-MIMO, OFDMA, and Tri-Band Multilink technologies help to provide strong, long-range connections, supporting up to 16 simultaneous streams.

Wi-Fi 7 introduces all-new ultrawide 320 MHz channel bandwidth in the 6 GHz band, doubling data transmission capacity.

4K-QAM technology boosts data transmission rates by up to 20% over Wi-Fi 6/6E due to its higher QAM, which packs signals more densely, allowing for more data to be uploaded and downloaded in the same time frame as before.

Multi-Link Operation (MLO) technology aggregates or switches seamlessly between 6 GHz, 5 GHz, and 2.4 GHz bands simultaneously, enabling faster speeds with more reliable Wi-Fi connections.

A 6 GHz band may be dedicated for communication between ASUS ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro modules. The AiMesh backhaul intelligently optimizes performance for low-latency connectivity. Powerful AI algorithms analyze network conditions and seamlessly adjust the backhaul for a more reliable mesh network, even in crowded Wi-Fi environments.

Quickly expand your wireless coverage by adding any AiMesh compatible router to the mesh network.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can you just buy two sets of these and have three nodes and one as the router?

A: Yes, you can combine two ASUS ZenWiFi XT9 AX7800 Wireless Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi System (2-Pack, Black) using one ZenWiFi XT8 as a router and the rest as satellite mesh points.

Q: 2. Do both routers need AC power?

A: Yes, the ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 AX6600 Wireless Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi System units each have their own AC power adapter.

Q: 3. May I know what is the Type of power adapter? Is it 3-pin adapter (Singapore)?

A: It has a USA prong.

Q: 4. I have a set of IOT devices that only work on 2.4ghz, is it possible to have separate SSIDs or would this not work for that solution?

A: These will not allow for separate SSIDs.

Q: 5. How much power does this device actually consume? The manual says the power supply is 19V 1.75A maximum (33.25W) but actual power consumption could be much less.

A: What you mention for the power supply - is all the information we have available.

Q: 6. I have a RT-AC68U, can I use it as a 3rd node even the through put might be lower speed but would extend the range - Correct?

A: Yes, you can add an RT-AC68U and use it as a third node for network expansion. The bandwidth would only be diminished if the node had a decent number of new devices added to it.

Q: 7. Can this be a wireless mesh and NOT use one as a router? And can both be out of range of the other or is them being able to see each other over WIFI required? I'd provide ethernet to each on the same network, but the distance and walls would not necessarily allow them to reach each other.

A: You should consider using instead the Aruba Instant On AP22 Dual-Band Access Point with 12V Power Adapter (BH #ARAP212V) as access points - they can be connected to wired or wirelessly.

Q: 8. Hello.This system will work with TP-Link Archer VR900 v.3 (EU) ?

A: The TP-Link Archer VR900 is not a mesh router, so it is not compatible with the TP-Link Deco X95 AX7800 Wireless Tri-Band Multi-Gig Mesh Wi-Fi System. The X95 AX7800 does not require an additional router, it can be used as a standalone system along with your modem.

Q: 9. how many WiFi SSIDs can be configured? Including guest and main...

A: This ASUS ZenWiFi ET8 AX6600 Wireless Tri-Band Gigabit Mesh Wi-Fi System can be configured with up to 9 Guest Network rules.

Q: 10. Can both of these be configured as satellites? The description says "This system consists of two AX6600 6.6Gb/s routers that have the ability to cover up to 5500 square feet of your home, both inside and outside." Which makes me think you can configure as either a satellite or router.

A: Yes, you can configure one as a router and the other one as a mesh node.
