• The ASUS ZenWiFi BD5 Outdoor 1-PK can serve as an AiMesh node to extend your ZenWiFi network, improving outdoor coverage. It features WiFi 7 support, dual 2.5G Ethernet ports, and IP65 water resistance, making it suitable for outdoor installation. Ensure compatibility with your ZenWiFi BT6 router through the AiMesh settings. https://www.asus.com/networking-iot-servers/whole-home-mesh-wifi-system/zenwifi-wifi-systems/asus-zenwifi-bd5-outdoor/

• Not with Ethernet back haul after the latest firmware update. It will work as an AI mesh node if using wireless back haul. I`ve got mine powered by a POE injector and as soon as Ethernet back haul is turned on the BD5 node disconnects and has to be reset. It worked before the latest firmware pushed down 10/27/25.
