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.

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.
