For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)
- Ethernet Standard: 10/100/1000/2500/10000 (Each standard is a variation of the IEEE 802.3 set of computer networking technologies known as Ethernet. New versions evolved to include higher bandwidth, different physical media, and other new and improved features. Standards are often denoted by speeds (in Megabits per second). For example, a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)
- Number of Antennas: 12
- Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz, 6.0 GHz, 6.0 GHz (Bands may be grouped into categories such as low- and high-band VHF (Very High Frequency), low- and high-band UHF (Ultra High Frequency), or certain frequency channels (measured in MHz or GHz). Generally, higher frequencies transmit information faster but have shorter range than lower frequencies.)
- Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 7 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)

- Number of 2.4Ghz Streams: 4 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. Because the 2.4 GHz band is used to transmit wireless signals to a wide variety of devices, there is often high amounts of traffic on that stream. But with multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 2.4 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a desktop computer, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that use more data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Number of 5.0Ghz Streams: 4 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. The 5.0 GHz band provides high speed, short-range data transmission and typically has less traffic than the 2.4 GHz band. With multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 5.0 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a streaming media player, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that need less data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)

Q: What is the maximum wired speed supported by this router?
A: This router supports a wired speed of up to 10000 megabits per second.
Q: Can the ET12's be used as satellites with the BE30000?
A: Yes. That'll work best with wired backhaul though considering the available bands, and the ET12 being tri-band versus quad-band. The BE30000 can negotiate 2.5gbe on its 10gbe ports. You'll also want to make sure the BE30000 is on the latest firmware. The ET12 won't support many of the BE30000's features, but if those are your only devices it'd still be best to have the BE30000 set up as the primary router. If your buying the 3pk of BE30000 you may not need the ET12, as the BE30000 does have even better coverage. Meaning you may be able to use the ET12 for something else, or maybe sell it. There are still some issues with the implementation of Guest Network Pro on the BE30000's firmware, particularly with the 2.4Ghz band while using non-BE30000 nodes. So, you might want to set up the ET12 as a separate AP versus a MESH node as something like a dedicated IOT AP. At least until, and if, there are some firmware updates to resolve the 2.4Ghz issues with nodes while using Guest Network Pro, it may be easier to set up a different AP for that band.

Great once you get it setup/connected.
I really like this mesh system now that I got it up and running. I did drop it from 5 to 4 stars as the firmware has some minor bugs still (They have come a long way in the last year though). Specifically, the router has issues obtaining the WAN IP address from the ISP modem. I had to power cycle both the modem and the router (left router off for several minutes after modem rebooted) and then it finally got the IP. But if you don't wait 5 minutes before powering up the router it will just sit there and say its "obtaining..." the IP address and never do it. Speed on wifi off these is insane! By the way, the white flat surface of the routers are just begging to have something on them...I personalized mine with some favorite characters by ordering vinyl stickers (see pics).

The Wi-Fi System of the Future!
Pros: Extremely fast speeds! Truly WiFi 7 Very wide coverage Simple setup process Plenty of customization options Cons: On the expensive side After reading many WiFi 7 router reviews, I have been wanting to experience the speed of WiFi 7! Although TP-Link released its WiFi 7 Mesh last year, I decided to wait for the ASUS one since I have been using ASUS routers for years with satisfying experiences. I finally got my hands on the BE30000 after waiting for over a year. It turns out the wait was worth it. I used the WebGUI for setup, and everything was as usual – I took the three BE30000 units out of the box, placed them at least one meter apart as instructed, and powered them on. I connected the unit labeled "main router" to the modem. Then I logged into the web interface and followed the on-screen instructions to complete the setup. The nodes' LEDs flashed blue during the process. Although it took a while, they eventually connected successfully, with all three BE30000 units showing solid white LEDs. After the basic setup, I moved the two nodes to the bedroom and near the kitchen, and the backhaul connection remained in MLO mode. By the way, the MLO feature in WiFi 7 was the most anticipated for me, so seeing "MLO" connected on the screen was incredibly exciting! One reason I really like ASUS is the wide range of customization options it provides. With the BE30000, ASUS has updated the Guest Network settings, allowing for easy network segmentation. I can set up different SSIDs for different purposes and manage devices separately. I found the VPN network most helpful for me. I no longer need to frequently switch VPN connections; I just connect to the VPN Network SSID. Additionally, the subscription-free security features are fantastic. The AiProtection Pro provides real-time network monitoring, automatic security updates, and protection against malicious websites and intrusions—all at no extra cost. It’s incredible that these comprehensive security features are offered for free. I was really impressed with how the ZenWiFi BE30000 covers every corner of my house. In the past, some areas only had one or two bars of WiFi signal, which was barely usable, but now I get three bars everywhere. Being able to use the internet smoothly everywhere is fantastic! I can now watch videos anywhere without being limited to areas with good signal because the signal is great everywhere. In conclusion, if you want to experience the speed boost brought by WiFi 7, the ZenWiFi BE30000 is definitely a great choice. Its sleek design, stable and high-speed network, and rich customization features make it highly recommended.

High Performance and Easy Setup
Considering my work-from-home needs, I often need to transfer large files and hold video conferences. I also have many devices at home that require internet connectivity. The WiFi system I was using seemed outdated and overloaded: File transfers were slow, and video conferences were often lagging, so I decided to find a replacement, hoping it would improve network stability and provide faster speeds to meet my home office needs. On the recommendation of a friend familiar with router products, I purchased the BE30000. Initially, I was worried that the setup would be time-consuming after reading some reviews, but following the app's instructions, the setup was very easy. The app interface is very intuitive, with clear and simple steps. From connecting the main router to adding nodes and setting up the Wi-Fi name and password, the entire process was seamless. After completing the setup, I noticed there was a firmware available for update, so I immediately updated to the latest version. The process was very simple; just press "update," and the system automatically completes everything. The advanced settings in the app let me adjust network configurations as needed, such as setting up a kid’s network and IoT network. It's very convenient for device management. Now I can change the settings of the main network without the trouble of reconnecting my home devices. I've been using it for a few days now, and everything is working great. I'm very satisfied. The Wi-Fi signal is very stable and has wide coverage. The speed tests met my expectations, and there were no lags during conference calls. Additionally, file transfer speeds have increased significantly, saving me a lot of time, and improving my mood!
