Not Time Machine compatible

The box says it is Time Machine compatible; it is not. Time Machine worked on one of two devices for a week and has now failed as on the other device. It took considerable effort to get that far -- finding out how to make it work from other than the ASUS instructions and then time for several disk reformats and initial backups. Buy this as a router only.

I had a TP-Link mesh system and it wouldn't do my Static IP. I setup the Asus XT9 and the Static IP worked no problem. It is also faster then the TP-Link using a Dynamic IP.

The mesh routers were just what our family needed to provide consistent WiFi throughout our 3,000 sqft home. We do not have any dead spots and the handoff between the two routers is seamless

Definitely the way to go if you need to get away from cable TV. Pay a little bit more up front but the reduction comes later. Functionally sound and dependable.

Started off great, now keeps disconnecting

Had this mesh wifi system less than 1 year and now the node keeps disconnecting from the router. I've done soft resets and it will reconnect for a couple weeks but then disconnect again and rapidly flashes blue. I've finally factory reset the node and now the app nor the web interface can find it to reconnect to the network. However if I connect with an Ethernet cable from the router to the node it will show wired back haul connection, but when removing the cable it then shows the node offline.
Very disappointing for a router that is less than a year old and wasn't cheap.

We have not had any issues with network connectivity since installing these in our home. The most challenging part was initially setting up the accounts and connecting to our wifi provider.

This router was a nightmare to deal with. The node was inconsistent with remaining connect to the main router and eventually would stopped connecting to the main router. Furthermore, if devices would connect to the node the connection would be terrible.
