Speed and distance tests are very good
This system was recommended by a friend I trust. I'm not an expert in this technology, but the setup was as easy as my friend stated. There were no issues. One router is in my basement, located about in the middle of my 1302 sq ft home. I get 250-450Mbps speeds inside the house. The 2nd router is out on my deck to cover the backyard and studio area. Backyard is about 5000 sq ft and i get speeds of 280Mbps at the alley 75 feet away from router. Obviously the closer to the router the faster the speeds. I get over 500Mbps when sitting on the deck 20 feet away from router. After a couple months of using the system, no issues, and it is very reliable.

Amazing Mesh-Wifi from ASUS!
Fantastic so far! Giving plenty of coverage around the 2500 sq. ft. house. Was very easy to set up on the app for the ASUS router. Very powerful connection with flawless ethernet connection for multiple devices at once.

A great mesh router with versatile upgrade options
Easy setup and simple app make this an easy to use mesh router. The distance with the two nodes seems good in my one story home with concrete walls, and being able to turn off the LED per unit is a nice option for bedrooms. I like knowing I have the ability to buy any model in the zen series to add an extra node if needed in the future. I have art fiber and the only extra step I had to dk was to change the att modem to “pass through mode.” If you’re stuck with an ISP’s modem/router combo you’ll most likely have to do the same to get the full benefit of the mesh system.

Incredibly unstable
I purchased this router yesterday in hopes of solving Wi-Fi issues at my house. As soon as I unboxed and got the router, everything was great. Fast range was solid, I was a happy camper. However, about an hour in the connection drops on every device in my house. We have lost connectivity 100%. So I reboot the router, and everything is back to normal at this point I figured it’s just you know a routine glitch that sometimes happens with Wi-Fi routers, no big deal. However, about an hour later same thing. All connectivity is loss, I have to reboot the router again to regain connectivity. So at this point, I’m a little skeptical, but I’m still considering that it could be just a new router, settling in, adjusting to the environment. Now the next morning, I’m trying to work and do you know no connectivity. At this point I called tech-support. They have me change the Wi-Fi channel which temporarily works but literally five minutes after I get off the phone with Tech Support the connection drops again. This time I call back again and speak to a “senior“ Tech Support agent, and they tell me that they want to look at the logs to troubleshoot the problem. That sounds great, let’s get the root cause of why this is happening. However, they tell me that I need to email them over and they should get back to me within approximately 48 hours. Someone from home obviously doesn’t work for me, already lost too many hours of my workday. Dealing with Wi-Fi issues and cannot sacrifice another two days. Short this router is high-performing but is incredibly unreliable.

Max coverage
Works as intended. There are no weak coverage spots in my home anymore. You will however have to create a 2nd wifi network that these will operate on.
