I've been considering switching to the Asus WiFi for meshing as I'm finding my Deco units (3x 68 and 3x 75, all in AP mode) to be not performing well. I tried to connect them via Ethernet - even just the root Deco and one other, with all others off - and they just wouldn't work and instead flash a red light. I also hate not having a useful web interface I can check instead of being forced into the Deco app.
Any experience with the Asus mesh? Is it better, same, or somehow worse?
I'm considering switching to Asus gear after giving up on the Deco stuff from Tp-link. Really frustrated as the Ethernet backhaul just doesn't work, there's minimal control of what AP talks to what, everything meaningful has to be done via a mobile app, etc.
The Asus gear looked quite reasonable from that perspective.
Just added the BE63 last night. So far so good. I have W3600s and X20s working with it. Started w 3600s, large house so I added x20s. No reason but I felt like upgrading the main unit. Wifi near main unit from 300Mbs on wifi5 to 800Mbps on wifi 6.
Ping has been solid. I have an ethernet cable plugged into a satellite that goes to my ps5. I'm competitive online. No complaints. The Nintendo Switch ping drastically dropped too (not hardwired).
I quite like the base model Deco sets and they do fine for lower/moderate speed setups.
The M4 is dead cheap or the x something-or-othet is only about £180. Plus they're happy to be wired or mesh!
When I say I like, I've installed them for a good few clients as a siple solution to good feedback and no issues to be honest!
