Q: QuestionCan the ET12's be used as satellites with the BE30000?(2 answers)
A: AnswerYes. 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.Answered by thomwithah

- A: AnswerI had the same issue. I was extreemly opimiztic that the ZenWifi would be the best option for my home network. but... devices just wouldnt connected constantly drop. cant contact Asus for help because once you put your SN into there support portal it directs you to Geek squad. Ended up returning the router.

Q: QuestionDoes the BE30000 support DFS channels for the 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz networks?(3 answers)
A: AnswerIt supports, "Auto select channel including DFS channels," on the 5GHz band.Answered by ChrisS
- A: AnswerThe hardware specs certainly seem to be the same. I'm not sure if the software acts differently because the devices don't have "Pro" in the name, I'm in AP mode, so that could be relevant, but I don't see any of the "Pro" features in the web UI, which I would expect on the "BQ16 Pro".

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.

My ASUS ZenWIFI BE30000 Experience
I live in a large two-story house packed with wireless devices like outdoor cameras, TVs, gaming consoles, and cell phones. My family and I also often stream media or play online games. My old mesh system constantly disconnected our devices which is annoying to say the least. I decided to buy the ASUS ZenWIFI BE30000, hoping for stable connections and better coverage. Below is my experience and review since buying the product. Setup BE30000 comes with three units that are a bit heavy but feel well-made (I like the silver triangular symbol on the side). One unit is marked with "Main Unit" sticker, so I knew to start with that one. I used the router app, which gives the option to connect WIFI manually OR scan QR code to start the process. I didn't have any problems during setup like some of the other reviews mentioned. By following the app's instruction, I finished everything in ten minutes. The instructions are step by step; from connecting the main router and nodes to setting up the WIFI name and password. The whole process was smooth and easy, even for a non-tech user like me. Coverage BE30000 offers excellent signal coverage. Placing the 3 units in my living room, bedroom, and basement ensured stable connections throughout my entire house (both on 1st and 2nd floor). All devices connect easily without drops or weak signals, even from my yard! App The ASUS router app is straightforward to use. It allows me to manage the network, monitor connected devices, and even block devices. I particularly appreciate being able to check the usage of ports directly from the app. This feature allows me to monitor each port's usage without needing to physically check the nodes. Conclusion The BE30000 is easy to set up, offers stable performance, and has wide signal coverage, making it for me a highly recommended mesh system. Whether for the home office, entertainment, or everyday use, it provides a stable and high-speed connection. If you're looking for a reliable network solution, this product is an excellent choice!

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!
