ASUS - ZenWiFi BT10

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

BEST? I'd say a Asus ZenWiFi BT10 if you want one of the best consumer routers right now and pair it with a DOCSIS 3.1 modem.

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 would choose BT10. I just bought a BE92u yesterday noon and returned few hours later due to terrible 6G range. I was only able to get 100m-150m download speed from 1 floor above it (3-5M away). I also bought a BE800 and BE550 Pro to try out. Suprising BE550 Pro is pretty good overall for both mobile and desktop which makes me think both BE800 and BE550 Pro are very comparable. However, i still decided to return both becasue i didnt get any improvement compared to my old Asus Zen XD5 wifi 6 routers. At the end, I got the Asus BE98 Pro. I am able to max out the max out the ISP speed of 1.5Gbs from 1 floor above the router. Connection from mobiles is also fast and reliable. So i beieve a triband mesh should be as good.

I'm so jealous of the people in Singapore getting 10Gbps and a decent router with it. The cable internet users cannot comprehend such speeds. Anyway, I took a quick look at the three options. RT-BE92U: * Supports the [Merlin custom firmware](https://www.asuswrt-merlin.net/) which allows a bit more customization than OEM default firmware. Probably would be my pick due to that alone. * 3x3:2x2:2x2 MIMO on the 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz bands respectively. Not the best for a high number of devices due to 2x2 MIMO. * 1x10GE, 4x 2.5GE. You will not be able to utilize 10GE on LAN since the 10GE WAN port will be used up. * US$250 BT-10: * Most people will go with this option simply because it is worth twice as much as the other options. * Obviously, a mesh unit. You get two very capable routers, since they necessarily don't have to be used as a mesh unit. I think if the ISP doesn't own them then you can even sell one unit. * 2x2:4x4:4x4 MIMO on the 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz bands respectively on each unit. * Due to 4x4 on both 5GHz and 6GHz, can offer good high speed Wi-Fi coverage if using Ethernet backhaul. * 2x 10GE WAN, 1xGE per unit * 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. * US$600 BE805: * One of the earlier Wi-Fi 7 routers. Expensive at launch but dropped in price quickly. * 4x4 MIMO on all 3 bands. * Has a chance of supporting OpenWrt in the future due to the MediaTek chipset. * Will probably get better performance with VPN...but you probably don't want to use any of these 3 for VPN if you have 10Gig. * US$300

Get a good mesh system. For a 2500 square foot house you don’t want a single router, unless it is maybe a completely open floor plan. Even then, probably not. 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. I ran some cat 6 Ethernet throughout my home. If you do this it doesn’t affect latency. I would highly recommend you check out https://dongknows.com This guy breaks down everything and I trust him a lot. (FYI latency for a mesh router increases when you don’t have a wired backhaul and or it is not setup properly. It is best practice to always do a wired backhaul. It is a great investment for your home.)

Asus ZenWiFi mesh system (2pk)... Thread closed... 😉

I bought an Asus zenwifi system but eventually hardwired the satellites to a switch plugged into the main unit. Works great.

Yeah, extenders don't work in big houses. For 3500 sq ft, get a mesh system like TP-Link Deco or ASUS ZenWiFi.Covers everything, no dead zones, no 5G or 2.4GHz.

Was doing research on deco mesh systems and one thing i noticed is that there’s a lot of complaints about hardware revisions and firmware. I was interested in the ability to select preferred connection between decos and device preferred connection. That way i could set the mesh topology as i wanted while steering non mobile devices to specific decos where signals are strong from multiple decos to the correct one. Simple right? Nope. The updated firmware for this feature only applied to specific versions of hw. So a v1 xe75 got it but not a v2 at the time. Then an xe200 didnt have it at all and it some older popular models never got it at all. It just seemed like a mess and the model i ordered didnt have it but amazon lost the pkg so i got an asus instead that feature is just naturally in their firmware… Their wifi7 models all support it but it’s like they just stop supporting previous popular hardware and move on so quickly

Asus zenwifi is worth considering. Just got 2 nodes of the 6E one from 2023 for $200 @ microcenter. After some issues with a new fully updated asus wifi7 router constantly rebooting & some similar claims across a few of their wifi7 devices i fear they've got a bug. The 6E has been running fantastic for ~4days now

I'm no expert at all in networks. I use Asus tri band routera running Merlin firmware. I have one router at the far end of the house on the 1at floor and the second router at the opposite end on the second floor. The signal extends to the yard and fully covers the house with Wi-Fi 6. House is close to 3k square feet. I have the routers hardwired since that provided the best connection. If you go the Merlin website you'll see what routers are supported.

I've had zero problems with M1 for many years. Only went down once, and that was for scheduled maintenance in the middle of the night. Also, it's not just your internet plan that could be the cause of any issues. If your router isn't good enough, or is in a terrible position, or is overheating, or the bomb shelter is between your laptop and the router, you are gonna have issues no matter what plan you have. I have a standard 1Gbps plan but an Asus gaming router with ethernet cables going to the 3 heaviest users in the home – PS5, living TV and bedroom TV. I also set up a second router using Asus AImesh to provide wifi signal to one of the further corners of the house.

I've been using AiMesh since the beginning, and it was rocky at first, but now I'm currently quite happy with it. One solid main router and two APs outside. What unifi did you get to replace your setup and do you think it was worth the cost?

Asus AiMesh - Yea TP-Link Deco - Yes TP-Link Easy Mesh - Not sure

I use Asus routers in my Ai mesh network and it gives me complete control over everything and I've loved it. I use that coupled with family link from Google and I feel like I've done my job as a parent blocking as much bullshit as I can for my kids.  But don't worry, their friends who's parents don't care about a single thing they consume will come along and ruin your hard work. Or your kids will be kids and find loop holes, which they always do. But you still tried. 

Asus AiMesh can be configured without an app and uses local credentials for management.

I went from DD-WRT for years to ASUS AiMesh and have been on Unifi equipment for a good four years now. I never have any issues with roaming (3600+ home) and I can fine tune whenever necessary (rare). I love the Unifi and don't plan on moving away any time soon. If you want peace of mind, I definitely also recommend Unifi.

As has been said, plug in everything you can. For a basic option, the Asus routers with AiMesh are a pretty simple solution. Start with one on the second floor centrally located and see if you need more. Use inSSIDer to see how your signal strength is as what kind of interference you have and set settings accordingly. If you’re not reaching all corners, add another compatible Asus and put them on floors 1 and 3 (both wired connection to WAN jack)

Avoid tp-link and any other CCP networking equipment. Don't intentionally put stuff with backdoors in them just to save a few bucks. Unifi is great but it's expensive and you really should use it wired. If you're just looking for plug and play mesh Asus has good offerings. Their AI mesh system works well
