Customer Ratings & Reviews

Installed in a two floor, 2,000 sq ft house. Great speeds between nodes. 1Gbps fiber, get nearly full speed when connected via ethernet at both of the satellite nodes using wireless backhaul. Only knock would be every little change in the software requires the entire system to reboot, which disconnects all devices and takes a few minutes to get back online.

I recently switched ISPs to get better speed and that was the final straw for my wireless network. As my network has grown to include a number of automated home devices (IoT), two NAS units, streaming appliances and TVs, two wireless printers and a number of laptops and mobile devices, the cracks really began to show. The mobile devices revealed dead zones, the IoT stuff insisted on squatting in the 2.4GHz band and the overall traffic level was reaching a level that was causing severe congestion. The ASUS ZenWiFi product offered me a number of silver bullets. The 3 units working transparently together have allowed me to eliminate my dead zones! I disabled the WiFi feature on my ISPs router, hardwired the ZenWiFi "master" node via ethernet and set the unit right next to the old router. The system automatically found the satellite units and I had a full mesh within 20 minutes after opening the box! Each unit offers ethernet ports and a USB port in addition to the WiFi capability! This is a welcome expansion option that will allow me connect hardwired devices anywhere I have installed a node. I was a little apprehensive about managing this thing but the ASUS Router app is very impressive. I was expecting to need to login to the router directly to manage the mesh but I was pleasantly surprised to see how comprehensive the app is. I was able to setup VLANs for guest access and even a dedicated network for my IoT devices. There are troubleshooting and tuning tools and even some graphics and graphing displays. Firmware management is one-touch and worked flawlessly. After setting the network up I took my Pixel 9 (WiFi 5+) and my Dell laptop (WiFi 7) and began to walk through the house performing speed tests. Most locations provided me full bandwidth to the Internet (~300Mbs, all my ISP can provide) with a decline only at the extreme edges of my home. Those areas were complete dead zones before I installed the ASUS network so I am beyond happy! There are a ton of features that I have yet to explore in depth including AI security and access restrictions, tuning and much more. But that is exactly what I wanted. The comprehensive suite of features along with the mesh architecture and support for three frequency bands will offer me the obsolescence insurance that I have been seeking. Definitely keep this one on your list when it is time to upgrade your network!

If I could use only one word to describe the ASUS ZenWifi BE14000 it would be - SIMPLE! I had been looking at these and other products for some time, due to the fact that where I live and the way our home is laid out I have a lot of “deadspots” for some reason. I have a small workshop that is located on our property that is about 175’ from our router and could not get a Wi-Fi signal constantly, and I have a CNC machine and need a strong signal. I have purchased several “boosters” and even then it was sketchy. I began looking at this product even before I had received it and the first thing that I did was download the App, I thought I would register for an account and be ahead of the game. That’s were the simple part comes in to play, once you get this product its basically a three step, simple process. You find which node has a sticker that tells you that node is the “base” node and the other two work in conjunction with it. You attach the power cord to all three and power them on, and then use the provided cable to attach to your home router. After that process it’s simply allowing the ASUS app do the rest, that’s it. W/ in 20 minutes they all were paired and I had assigned the name of the Wi-Fi on my phone and I had the system up and running. I placed one of the nodes in the farthest part of our home that normally we had trouble getting a stead, good, strong signal and one in our basement. I was reluctant that it would work but I gave it a try. I was pleasantly surprised that w/ in minutes both were recognized and we now have a strong signal all throughout our home. And the caveat is I did not have to reprogram all my existing Wi-Fi based cameras, garage opener, etc. ASUS say this product will cover 8000 sq feet and 8+ rooms, I truly believe that it does. The nodes are small and take up very little space and are hardly noticeable. I am just scratching the surface w/ what this product can do and how reliable and secure they make our system. I am so pleased that we no longer have any dead spots in our home or basically on our property. If you are looking for a very simple, reliable, and fast mesh system look no further than the ASUS - ZenWifFi BE14000 Tri-band WiFi system. I highly recommend it.

The devices themselves look nice and are antenna-less. Getting it all up and running was overall easy. I connected to my Comcast router/ modem combo and had it all up and running fairly quick. These made all the Wi-fi connections through the house work much smoother and faster. We have 4 TV's, 3 of which are running on Wi-Fi only. They use to have buffering and pauses but all streaming is nice and smooth now. My main issue was that when doing projects in my garage I like to be able to look stuff up on my phone. And my data connnection isnt always there. So I wanted a strong wireless to reach the garage for looking up part numbers, tutorials, etc. So I put on of the nodes near our front door that leads to the garage. I now have perfect Wi-Fi all the way into my driveway and then some. There are a lot of very specific settings available on these to tweak if you want to. But for me just leaving it at default setting for now is fine. I may get in there and change a few things, but for now its doing exactly what I needed and then some. If you rely heavily on wireless in your house or office this is a great option to set it and forget it. Very much on the recommended list.

ASUS - ZenWifi BE14000 3-PK Tri-band WiFi 7 (802.11be) Smart AiMesh Extendable Router - White It's a great system. First, make sure you follow the directions, even if you think you know what you’re doing. I have set up other mesh systems, but this one was slightly different but so much better.  Let’s talk about the pros, number one the app! The app allows you to see the connectivity of each node throughout the system. As in which node is connected how many devices are connected to each node? It also allows you to see the name of the device that is connected to each node.  Let’s say you have one node that is significantly closer to your router. You can choose which point you want your nodes to connect to. For example, I have a node in the garage, and another node in my master bedroom which is significantly closer to the garage than the office where my router is, so I have my node in the garage connected to the one in the master bedroom.  The back of each node also has Ethernet ports which allows for four devices to be connected to it via Ethernet.  This mesh system sets the bar high for other systems, and the best part is, if you have an Asus AI Mesh system-enabled router, it is beyond easy to use, and set up is a breeze. Oh yeah, one last thing, each node has an LED, which is great unless you put it in a bedroom right, but you can turn off the LED with the App, and voila no more light.

I haven't bought one, but other people like it so i gave it 5 stars. I wanted to point out that that this is Asus ZenWiFi BT8. I had to search the Asus site to figure that out. I'm testing a BT10 (BE18000) which is quite similar, but has 1 more antenna, 2 more Front-end Modules (whatever they are), 10 G ports instead of 2.5 G, 2 GB DRAM instead of 1 GB. But it pretty much looks the same from the outside.

I always purchase Linksys routers but their products and customer service has taken a nosedive over the years so I took a chance on Asus and I’m glad I did! Setup was intuitive and seamless. We just got 2GB Google Fiber service and this router provides full speed! I’m extremely happy with this product!

Do not buy.... Customer service is the worst experience ever. Called, and they walked through resting the router and still have the same issue on 2 different sets. Now theu wont help or even answer the phone. Placed on hold and hung up numerous times. Dont waste your time or money buy a diffent brand. Thankfully, Best Buy has great customer service and returned for a different brand.
