    Replacing AC88U

    Thanks. I just struggle with this Mesh network. Yes, I admit I'm thinking too much, worrying my next rental place won't allow wired backhaul. That's why I keep thinking of a three-band router. Powerline was horribly poor here. At least, tried it in 2 different places, the speed was just some...

    Replacing AC88U

    Oh, thanks for your advice. With it, I've cancelled my order. I saw the Pro series are the ones to get these days due to the future firmware upgrades. Apart of AX88U Pro, any other recommendations? Thanks. P.S. I found that the GT-AX11000 Pro is sold at £320, which is £111 more than the AX88U...

    Replacing AC88U

    Gotcha. Appreciate your advice. Truly valuable. I decided to keep the XT12 since the price difference was about £12. Honestly, I'm sceptical of its signal power, hope it's par to the AX88U.

    Replacing AC88U

    Is it fine to go with the XT12? I ordered it on Amazon a few hours ago since only two were left. Should I cancel it and order the AX88U Pro instead?

    Replacing AC88U

    I'd like to retire my AC88U since the ports 5-8 die/hang more frequently than their early days. What should I do next inside the ASUS family? It's currently in a mesh, wired backhauling with another AX88U being the main one. They are housed in a 3-floor house. I'm considering getting either the...

    Where are the ASUS ZenWiFi XT9 users ?

    Sorry, I'm really sleeping on the matter. Will it be safer to get 1 XT12 and 1 pair of XT9's instead? Or even, 3 sets of XT9's? The connection will then be more guarantee. Any advice? Thanks.

    Where are the ASUS ZenWiFi XT9 users ?

    Oh, I just realised that I'd missed an important point. Currently, I'm back to my old AiMesh network with AX88U and AC88U pairing. The connection right now is from weak to OK. IDK if swapping to XT12 will help. Wishfully, I was hoping XT9 would help, but they didn't. Is it because of the new...

    Where are the ASUS ZenWiFi XT9 users ?

    The reason for not getting ET12 is its 6G band may not be worth my while. If I'm not wrong, ET12 comes with 3 bands: 2.4G, 5G, and 6G bands. As you heard from me, I'm going to wirelessly connect the 2 nodes between 3 storeys (i.e., 1 on G/F and the other on 2/F). So, it'd then be either its 5G...

    Where are the ASUS ZenWiFi XT9 users ?

    Even since my XT9 return, I need another set of mesh wifi for my house. Since XT12 is now at its lowest price, I wonder if I should get a pair of these. Yes, they will surely be wireless backhaul connected with one on the ground floor and the other on the 2nd floor. Any advice on this? One last...

    Where are the ASUS ZenWiFi XT9 users ?

    I bought a pair too late last month. I'm struggling. I've got 2 disconnections since then, even though I reboot them twice a week. Before then, I was using EE SmartHub and I found that the wireless backhaul was much more stable than XT9. EE SmartHub misses many functionalities, esp without...

    Where are the ASUS ZenWiFi XT9 users ?

    Never tried before. However, I don't recommend this since they're two different models. Instead, I suggest snapping all the necessary screenshots and entering those options as snapshots. Meanwhile, it's good to review all the settings.

    Where are the ASUS ZenWiFi XT9 users ?

    <facepalm> Perhaps, I should wait till XT12's are affordable.

    Where are the ASUS ZenWiFi XT9 users ?

    True, esp. for a control freak like me! I want to know every parameter/setting and utilise each one of them wherever possible. An example where Asus routers shine is I can control when my devices will switch over to 2.4G band from 5G band. In terms of richer functionality and stability, I...

    Where are the ASUS ZenWiFi XT9 users ?

    However, Asus' offers the widest range of functionalities. Perhaps, there're other better ones, but I don't know any of them within the same price range. Orbi is basically "naked" to me unless you pay them money for security as well as technical support. Velop is a bit better but still not up...

    The Asus ZenWiFi AX XT8 is a POS, right?

    Oh no! I'm currently doing my research on mesh routers. It seems none is good, not to say perfect. Every model has its own problem(s) or deal breaker to me. Originally, I'm targeting XT9, and hope that one day they may get the blessing from Merlin. Any advice on where/which I should look up...
