High priority functions and applications receive maximum network performance, while low priority traffic receives minimum performance.)
- Band Technology: Tri (Refers to the number of frequency bands used to wirelessly transmit an internet signal. 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 (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: 7
- Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz, 5.0 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: 2 (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: 3 (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.)
- Number of 6.0Ghz Streams: 3
- Wi-Fi Mesh System: true (A single wireless network consisting of a main router (connected directly to a modem) that connects to a series of satellite modules or nodes placed around the home.

Ultra Fast Speeds
The Asus ZenMesh System is my first router to feature WiFi 7 and a 6GHz band. Although not all devices support WiFi 7, it’s fully backward compatible, meaning you can use it with older WiFi devices. However, to fully experience the benefits—faster speeds, wider bandwidth, and more reliable connections—you'll need a WiFi 7-compatible device. If you’re curious about compatibility, please refer to the section at the bottom of my review. Connection Speeds - I’ve been blown away by the speeds this system delivers. Both my iPhone 16 Pro Max and Asus Zenbook support WiFi 7, and I’m consistently achieving wireless speeds I’ve never come close to before. My internet plan is capped at 1Gbps, and despite never reaching this even when hardwired, I’m seeing speeds up to 907 Mbps on my iPhone and nearly the same on my Zenbook. Mesh Setup - The setup is straightforward, with one router acting as the “Main” and the other two serving as satellites or "nodes" that create the mesh network. These nodes can work wirelessly, but I highly recommend hardwiring them to your router if possible, as this greatly improves both speed and coverage. I have Ethernet cables built into my walls, so I hardwired my nodes for an ultra-fast mesh setup. To do this, just connect an Ethernet cable from one of your router’s LAN ports to the WAN ports on your nodes. App & Interface - The Asus app is a standout feature. It’s intuitive, much more so than other systems I’ve used, and offers great customization options. You get free parental controls, a firewall, and other useful features without extra costs. WiFi Setup - Upon setup, Asus creates two networks: one for general use and another specifically for IoT devices like smart lights, soundbars, and robot vacuums. IoT devices generally don’t require fast speeds but need a stable connection. I recommend limiting the IoT network to 2.4GHz, as most IoT devices don’t support higher bands. Issues - While the setup process was mostly smooth, I did face some initial struggles. The startup time for the router can take up to 5 minutes during a reboot, and I’ve experienced intermittent disconnections (lasting less than 1 second). This happens a couple of times a day, though it’s not a major issue yet. It could be related to my existing modem or possibly a router configuration issue (IP address renewal). I’m confident I can resolve it, but I’m still surprised it’s happening at all. The Ultimate Test - Over the weekend, I put the system to the test with my 9-year-old son, who’s vocal about internet performance. He reported faster speeds on his iPad and had only a couple of disconnections while playing Roblox. I’ve also encountered similar issues with my TV and WiFi devices, though they seem rare. Despite these minor hiccups, my son is happy with the system, giving it two thumbs up. Conclusion - Overall, I’m thrilled with the Asus ZenWifi System. The speeds are unprecedented, and the coverage is exceptional. If it weren’t for the occasional disconnections, this would easily be a 5-star product. I’m confident that with a little troubleshooting, I can resolve the issues, and I’ll likely consider adding another node for even better performance. Compatibility Concerns - I was initially concerned about compatibility with my Orbi Modem/Router, especially since routers typically can’t connect to other routers without causing NAT issues. The good news is that Asus routers are compatible with most modems—a crucial point for anyone with a modem/router combo. To use the Asus system, simply log into your modem/router and switch it to Bridge Mode, which disables the router function and makes it act solely as a modem. I’m experienced with networking, but Orbi systems can be tricky due to their proprietary nature. In my case, I ran into an issue where the Asus router was receiving a private IP on the WAN port instead of a public IP (which is needed for proper routing). After some troubleshooting, including rebooting both the modem and the router, I got everything working properly. While this may not be an issue for most people, I hope this info helps anyone facing similar challenges.

Great For Big Homes
If you have a big home with lots of technology using WiFi, then the 8000 sq ft Dead zone free coverage from the ASUS Zen WiFi BE14000is for you. It’s super simple to set up with the ASUS app which gives you so many options right at your finger tips. It is built for the future of WiFi with it’s triple-band WiFi 7 AiMesh which is great as technology advances offering speeds up to 14 GBPs which is ideal for me who enjoys 8K streaming and intense gaming. Its AiOptimization is incredible, automatically prioritizing my internet traffic in my home for the best possible performance. The Nodes/towers look nice which can be placed anywhere in your home and fit in nicely with any decor. No problem blending in. One thing I like is the two 2.5 gig ports that are available so I can get the wired connection speeds of over 2 gigs that I pay for to game. The app makes it pretty simple to set up and offers tons of features to fine tune your needs that other mesh systems may lack. Although I may not take advantage of all the features and benefits of the Zen WiFi system, I do like the fact that the options are available for future needs. If you are not good with tech, then some of these features might feel a bit hard. If you are in a smaller home with just simple streaming needs at 1 gig or less, then this might be a lot more than you probably need. Other features that I like are the AiProtction Pro for my network security, VPN, and the option for parental controls. Great if you would like to limit what your kids are streaming these days. I have had this for a handful of days now and everything is working great and I am very happy.

Solid Mesh System with Advanced Technology
I have been fortunate enough to use several different mesh systems in my home. I’ve found them to be incredibly useful especially when it comes to ensuring all my smart devices get a strong WiFi signal. For the past couple of years, I’ve been using a premium wireless router designed for gaming and smart home management. It’s been great, but I thought this ASUS system would be a good step up from the single router setup. The setup for this system is fairly straightforward. First, you unbox the units, their power cables, and the Ethernet cable. Then, you power all of the ZenWiFi units up in the same room. Once the units are connected, you can move them to your desired location, but they will connect best if you do it in the same room as your modem. Next, you will use the provided Ethernet cable (or one of your own) to connect the main unit to your ISP service. In my case, this was an AT&T Fiber Gateway. Once the LED turns solid blue, the ZenWiFi is ready for set up and you can connect to the app. The three units that come in the box are essentially identical. There is a sticker on the main unit that reads, “Hi! I’m the Main Unit. Start with me.” While the ZenWiFi units are not enormous, they aren’t particularly small either. Mesh system units I’ve had in the past are much taller than the ASUS ZenWiFi units. The general aesthetic of the units is modern with a technological flare. Once I got the system set up, the signal was very strong throughout our house. This system will reportedly cover more than 8000 square feet. Our house is around 1500 square feet, but I noticed that I had a very strong WiFi signal in our garage and even out into our yard. This was great because it meant that our outdoor lights and cameras didn’t have to struggle to maintain a connection to our home network. As far as speed goes, I was getting between 700 - 900 MB/s consistently throughout the house. The service we have only provides up to 1Gig so even though the ZenWiFi system can support 2.5Gig service, 1Gig was the max we could get. Overall, I think this is a good system for someone who wants a mesh network. It has a lot of advanced features through the app and it’s easy to maintain.
