"With ASUS you have control over a multitude of settings. Or just leave it on the defaults and if you ever wish to dive into the config, it will be ready and waiting for you."
"Another bonus with ASUS is you can use a mobile phone app *or* a web interface on a laptop/computer to manage the system. ... Many other mesh systems from TP-Link, Netgear, Eero only let you manage them with a mobile phone app. That is fine if you have basic needs but if you want to get more control over settings, often not an option."
"lots of advanced networking options (for free, no subscription) if you want to go deeper"

"All the Asus units mentioned are standalone routers. But, they also work as part of a mesh system. They can be used as either the main router or part of a mesh system. So, it's almost as simple as plug and Play. You get the main router set up. Then, you plug the new router into the main one with an ethernet cord and program it(it actually programs itself with an app). After that, you disconnect the cord and move it where you want. Rinse and repeat with other routers."
"Their AI mesh system works well"
"If you're just looking for plug and play mesh Asus has good offerings."

"Most people will go with this option simply because it is worth twice as much as the other options. ... You get two very capable routers, since they necessarily don't have to be used as a mesh unit."
"Stable and cheap."

"All of their stuff works. Just buy two, three, four of their routers in the AI mesh system will work perfectly."

"it’s a b***h and a half to get this thing to connect to my spectrum modem. ... I will spend hours resetting both the router and my modem in the hope that there will be a connection at some point. ... I’ve spent hours and I can’t tell what is the issue that prevents this thing from picking up a connection from my modem."
"It started randomly disconnecting around April(bought in dec 24) ... the amount of times I want to hurl this thing at the wall is ridiculous."

"When I did add the third node I felt I was getting crazy interference."
"I have noticed however my devices sometimes get confused which node it should connect to, resulting in sub par speeds."
"If you run them in a wireless mesh, you won't get anywhere near your plan speeds if you connect to the satellite unit since these do not use a dedicated wireless backhaul."

I’m running BE92u and 2 BT10 as aimesh, not bad though
Asus zenwifi is a great and user friendly. Get the BT10 or BQ16.
Mam od 2 tygodni i porownoje z Asus bt10, i wentylatora nie słychać, chyba że ucho do obudowy , soft 10/10 , zasięg dziwny no na lapku AC , bt10 lepsze ale na Pixel 7 udr 7 lepiej , na pc z dongle ax od to linka, Asus by 10 szybszy 940mb a udr7 jakieś 800, w grach bt10 ping obu taki sam
Went with Asus, have the technicalities of setting up a mesh but roaming seems like one of the complains for cheaper mesh. Will set up one in db box and one at the far end of the master bed room. Thanks for your time to write up the details.
I 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.
I have replaced the phone-company-supplied router with an ASUS router, and I couldn’t be happier. I’m currently using a pair of ASUS ZenWiFi routers and they are not only incredibly powerful, but they are good looking. (I got them from Amazon some them and I’m not sure if they’re available in Thailand yet.) https://a.co/d/bAF1ops ProTip: if you have fibre coming into your condo, call AIS and tell them that you need a Fibre modem instead of a WiFi router. (I know that they have these because they did it for me.) The modem will translate the data coming in from the fiber optic cable to data going out on an ethernet cable. That ethernet cable should be then plugged into your Wi-Fi router. If you do this you won’t have an extra Wi-Fi transmitter to worry about that could interfere with your intended transmitter. And the modem is a much simpler piece of equipment so less likely to have problems.
the be550 cheaper because of the cpu 1.5 GHz and 1GB ram, be800 is 2.2 GHz, 1GB ram Take a closer look of [https://dongknows.com/tp-link-archer-ge650-review/](https://dongknows.com/tp-link-archer-ge650-review/) which have comparation, reviews, and importantly have a speed test by the way, i'm using asus zenwifi bt10, not on the top list, just because can't rent those from isp
I have the Hitron CODA56 modem and the Asus ZenWiFi BT10 (and BT8) router. I think it’s a great combo, although I did have some weird issues with my router losing connection periodically at first. Wi-Fi 7 capable and lots of advanced networking options (for free, no subscription) if you want to go deeper, or you can keep it simple and just use the app.
I really like the ASUS ZenWiFi series. I have the BT10 and BT8 as a mesh pair, but might be overkill if you don’t need Wi-Fi 7 (or care about future-proofing). I find ASUS routers easy to set up but you can really dive deep into options if you feel the need to, and they don’t charge a subscription for access to the advanced options.
I saw your note about the Black Friday deal and that's great! I think the BT8 is just as good as the BT10 in most ways, plus the 10Gbit Ethernet ports on the BT10 are probably overkill for most people. But yes, I use the BT10 as my primary router, directly connected to my Xfinity modem, and the BT8 is a satellite node connected by wireless backhaul. I really haven't had any major issues using them in that way and they still connect seamlessly. I'm sure your set of BT8s will work just as smoothly.
Using the Asus ZenWiFi BT10 mesh here, in AP mode. 2 nodes covers our 2000 sq. ft. house. Has stayed up for about 6 - 7 weeks until I had to make some changes that required rebooting it...the BT10 mesh has been very stable for long periods in AP mode. AP mode gives you all the wifi benefits of wifi-7, which is what wifi-7 is all about :-). Anyways, I can recommend it highly for stability, and wireless coverage and speed. One of the features of this mesh that I really like is the use of MLO for wireless backhaul. This makes wireless backhaul just a little bit slower than hard-wired ethernet backhaul. Can't do wired backhaul here, so I'm very happy with the wireless MLO backhaul between nodes. Good price on Amazon at the moment, less than $600 for 2 nodes.
I just finished testing the BT10 and really enjoyed my time with it. Setup was straightforward, it stayed stable throughout testing, and I saw consistent speeds with good range. In our tests we push coverage out to about 30 meters from the base, with the satellite placed in two different locations, and it held up very well. One thing you might appreciate compared to something like the Eero is that the BT10 gives you access to a lot more settings and customization options without the need for a subscription or an account. I can’t speak directly to long-term reliability, but I haven’t run into many issues with Asus routers overall, so I feel confident it should hold up well.
