ZenWiFi Pro ET12

I have an Asus XT12 mesh system with two points. I recently had to factory reset them due to a borked FW update and since I was messing with it I took the time to separate my 2.4 and 5ghz bands. Everything is much happier now.

I have a 2 nodes ASUS XT12 with a dedicated wifi6 wireless backhaule. The 2nd node is 2 stories upstairs (bricks walls and wood ceilings) and I can use the full 1Gb/s internet speed provided. Before I had a ubiquiti amplitude. Coverage was ok but the max speed I’ve got was 500 Mb/s. The asus is expensive but works really well. In my situation the 2 nodes are communicating at 2Gb/s. The nodes have also 2,5Gb ports. So attaching wired devices allows to communicate really well.

I went from Airports to Asus Zenwifi ET12’s and they have been rock solid. Faster speeds and better coverage too.

I have had the orbi 973 system since it came out ... Absolutely love it ... I did have one issue with the router last year and netgear replaced it... I installed a fan on it and never had a problem since. I did purchase a 800 series orbi about 3 years ago and returned it, nothing but problems . This 973 orbi is the best.. Before this orbi 973 I had the Asus et12 that is also a great router but only wifi 6E not 7 Routers and wifi are very difficult today .... I have lots (45 plus) of devices on the orbi 973, no problems at all....

Aussie broadband. Asus XT12 (wifi 6), ET12 wifi 6e, BQ16 (wifi 7). XT and ET have unrivalled range. BQ16 a close second with quad band support. All mesh systems. Coverage with one centralised router is outstanding with all 3. You can’t beat Aussie broadband no matter how hard people nut hug on leaptel, launtel and Neptune. I’ve tried all four.

Hardwired is best. If you have extra phone lines or coax cable you can use that. If not you'll have to Go wireless. Ubiquiti is great. But, it's beyond most homeowners without really doing their homework. Therefore, I would recommend an Asus system. All of their stuff works. Just buy two, three, four of their routers in the AI mesh system will work perfectly.(Buy the exact same router for everywhere). You just need to make sure they are tri-band or quad-band routers (one band will be used exclusively for wireless backhaul). For example, et12, ET 8, et9, bt-10 are all recommended. Check out Dong knows--his website is great.

Backhaul is how the routers talk to each other. It's best to do it wired. But, if you can't they will use one of the channels on the router that becomes a dedicated circuit (band) where they talk to each other. That's why you need at least three bands. If you want Wi-Fi, 7 I would recommend the bt-10 or the expensive BE98 pro. If you just want Wi-Fi 6e, any of the routers I mentioned before would work.. et8, et9,xt9,xt12,et12. Additionally, avoid the BQ 16 and the be96u, the firmware on the routers is buggy and has not been updated. I have personally used the et8, xt9 and the be98 pro. They have all been fantastic.

Get a refurb Asus ET12 on eBay.

Try ASUS ET12. It’s working like a charm.

Same but I use an Asus et12 and et8 combination system 2 of each model

I would recommend the Asus Zenwifi Pro ET12. You can get one off eBay for a cheaper price. A 2-pack should be sufficient coverage. You can compare price with the TP-Link XE75 and Eero Pro 6E. Any of those 3 are good with wireless backhaul, and the Asus has the best coverage among all 3. Asus gives the best features available without any additional pay wall, Eero is the simplest to use but has additional features behind a pay wall and TP-LINK is the best on budget and comes between on coverage.
