"I have a 2 pack of the Asus BT10 and it is superb. ... I have a wired back haul which is the best way to go with a mesh system. ... If you do this it doesn’t affect latency."
"The current ZenWiFi BT10 works exceptionally well, with MLO backhaul "channel". Very fast. ... As I said, best wireless coverage and speed ever here."
"Have asus bt10 x2 mesh system with hardwire backhaul via MoCA and I get full internet speed all over my house now. ... Had it for about a month now and works great so far."

"TP-Link/Netgear software and features are worse than ASUS and far more basic/limited. ... Eero requires a subscription for stuff you get for free/default on ASUS, also MerlinWRT is a god send."
"Asus AiMesh can be configured without an app and uses local credentials for management."
"it’s been a lot more solid with far more configuration options than I’ve ever seen on a residential router."

"I have been 100% happy with the BT10’s. I have a 2 pack and the coverage, speed, and stability have been excellent. I’m pleasantly surprised."

"I installed 3 of these at my parent's lake place. We had one room opposite of the router that would not get any signal because it was a renovated screen porch (exterior wall and door to get into the room). I essentially made a path from just outside the room with the router, to the room with the signal issues. Every repeater had a minimally restricted line of sight to the next. Worked amazing."

"ASUS with AImesh is the most versatile as it will work with any of their own products even older ones and you can mix and match freely."

"Not troubleshooting, but there’s a lot of configuration options that might require playing with things if you’re not a pro. ... Do I want MIMO? Should I configure an IoT network? There’s a lot of things it suggests to do but doesn’t really hold your hand in explaining why you should set them up."

"their wireless backhaul is unstable ... Mine can establish at around 900Mbps and then randomly drop to 300 and stay there until I disconnect (remove from config!) the Node and re-add it which is time consuming."
"One of my nodes constantly disconnects from the main access point despite being 40 ft away with 2 walls between."
"The backhaul will start great and then about 20 minutes later drop to 50% or less."

"I find the ASUS firmware and app not great. ... I find the ASUS zenwifi system too "automagic" for my liking. ... I naively thought I'd find a way to do this with something like the ASUS mesh, but alas.... no. ... logs aren't verbose enough."

22hand 1.0I’m running BE92u and 2 BT10 as aimesh, not bad though
Tried both MLO and eventually wired backhaul. Some challenges at first but now it works well. Main router BE92u and 2 BT10 added as mesh node
BigNavy505 1.0I bought 3 for a mesh system in a 3100 SF trac home. Only unboxed and setup two of three. With two just downstairs the coverage was really weak and the speeds were low. After tinkering with them for a week I sent all 3 back. They couldn't out perform the TP Link XE75 Pros, or TP Link BE63's. Tested Eero 6 and finally settled on a two pack of the Asus BT10's. Two BT10's both downstairs cover our entire home, garage and large backyard. Wasn't impressed.
I just test out the Be63’s last week for 3100 SF home and large backyard. It worked well but I’m more of a prosumer and the app was pretty dumbed down. Bought the more expensive Asus BT10, 2 pack and they just smoke the BE63s. Faster and a lot better range.
Burjur 1.0Just in case someone else sees this, I went with the ASUS Zenwifi 2 pack BT10 routers. The child protection features not behind a subscription or paywall was a major deciding factor. The coverage is more than enough for my house and it gives me the ability to plug in my personal PC with an Ethernet cable. Thank you everyone for all of your help!!!! I truly appreciate it.
buzzedewok 1.0The BT10 has been out for a while now and has had multiple firmware releases to fix issues. I’m seeing WiFi compatibility fixes in a few of them.
darmccombs 1.0I have been 100% happy with the BT10’s. I have a 2 pack and the coverage, speed, and stability have been excellent. I’m pleasantly surprised.
Digimon007 1.0Asus zenwifi is a great and user friendly. Get the BT10 or BQ16.
hocuspocus4201 1.0I got BT10 about a week ago. I got a 2 pack and the node is wired. I have 3gbps internet and need to connect using PPPoE. Works well for the most part. I get full 3gigs over wire snd 2500+ up and down over wireless. Still playing around with some of the advanced features like fronthaul MLO. Only turn on MLO if you have WiFi 7 devices that support it and create a separate network for it.
Yeah it works pretty well. They have had a few firmware updates since then and it's been stable as ever. I could never get the MLO to work properly so I turned that off so the MLO failure is the only issue I have found to be flaky so far.
MLO is a feature of WiFi 7 where you could potentially connect to multiple bands simultaneously like 2.4+5+6ghz in order to make the connection more reliable. With BT10, I'm not sure where the issue is (at the router side or the client/laptop/phone side) so best to keep it off. By the way MLO is turned off by default so no need to turn it on if you don't want to.
Hopeful-Lion-7581 1.0Replaced my WiFi 5 system with asus bt10 and working great so far. Getting 800+ download on WiFi. I replaced 7 WiFi 5 nodes with 4 asus bt10s. Very easy setup
MrDoh 1.0I've had 2 Asus ZenWiFi meshes, the XT8 and now the BT10, used with wireless backhaul. Both have been great, but we have sheetrock walls and hollow doors :-). About the only good thing with the flimsy construction in our house. The current ZenWiFi BT10 works exceptionally well, with MLO backhaul "channel". Very fast. However, if you have walls that are thick or have metal in them, you're going to need to wire your backhaul or use MoCA if you happen to have coaxial cable in your walls from having cable TV installed. That's just physics, wifi signals are attenuated by thick walls, or walls made of lath and plaster, etc. And if you're going to wired backhaul for a mesh, you might consider using wired AP's instead of a mesh. Just a thought :-).
There were stability issues with the BT10 before the last 2 or 3 firmware releases. The current (latest) firmware release that I'm using now has been up for over 2 weeks here, with no problems. As I said, best wireless coverage and speed ever here.
I have a wifi-7 mesh that works really well. I have it in Access Point (AP) mode, using a wired-only router as my main router. The really good thing about the wifi-7 mesh is the backhaul between the mesh nodes is wifi-7 using MLO, which turns out to make it very close to as fast as ethernet backhaul here. The mesh that we use is the Asus ZenWiFi BT10. So the OP could use their wifi-6 router as wired-only by turning off it's wireless radios. Then connect a wifi-7 mesh in AP mode to that. Of course, wifi-7 is backwards compatible with wifi-6 and wifi-5. In fact, wifi-6 will tend to be faster on the wifi-7 mesh than it would be on a wifi-6 mesh because the wireless backhaul on the wifi-7 mesh is faster.
NumberAny8875 1.0Hi, I have bt10 with 2 units and works well,good coverage and good performance,one disadvantage is 3 lan port is nor enough,bq16 lots of lan ports,ı think it is better than bt10
