ZenWiFi AX (XT8)

Excellent write-up u/WhenenRome. As an HD HomeRun owner myself I have a few comments based on my experience w/my HD HomeRun Flex 4K after 5+ months. First off, you can use it wirelessly if you connect it to a wireless mesh node that has ethernet jacks, or a WiFi extender with an ethernet jack. The H

I'll go against the ubiquiti train and recommend option 1 unless you're looking to use the other things like cameras etc. The Asus systems, specifically the XT8 or the ET8 are stable, fast, and cover large areas. I have found the ubiquiti AP will not cover remotely the same space. Both of them shoul

I used to be a big fan of Asus and recommended them all the time. I really like the scope of their software and everything they make available without having to pay a subscription. I lived with my father for several years in a very large home with a detached mother-in-law suite and we used 5 of the

I'm confident someone will suggest the best solution is not a router or mesh, but router + APs (access points) -- and I'd agree with them. To set that up you'd need to connect the APs via ethernet to the router. If that is possible, it will give you better and more reliable speeds throughout the hom

I used Linksys for many years before switching to Asus mesh. Was never happy with Linksys. Completely happy with Asus ( 3+ years now ). Can't speak for other brands. When I find something that works, and works well, I stick with it. 4 x Asus ZenWifi XT8 AX6600.

I barely faced disruptions in a two floor old building with thick walls. Try changing the location of nodes (increasing their heigh

For solid Twitch streaming in a 3-story house, go with a tri-band mesh system with Ethernet backhaul. Top picks: TP-Link Deco XE75, ASUS ZenWiFi XT8, or Eero Pro 6E. They’re fast, reliable, and great for wired PC connections.

I found a way to resolve this issue on my 14T Pro. So after I recovered a backup of the phone from Google Drive the WiFi started to work bad. In my house I have a Asus ZenWifi XT8 Mesh and it was disconnecting whenever I moved to the other AP on the mesh. I deleted the WiFi network but it didn't wor

PC Magazine has an article on best mesh systems: https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-wi-fi-mesh-network-systems?test_uuid=03HYOxRLHSGDXtTLiJKLr6U&test_variant=B# I have the ASUS XT8 and if you are sticking with WiFi 6 it might be worth a try (it's also ranked as the best WiFi 6 mesh system at PC Mag'

Happy to share the info! I checked Amazon: A two pack of XT8s is $199. A two pack of XT9s is the same price, $199. Between the two I recommend the XT9 as it gives you slightly improved performance (a bit faster CPU), and more channel width on the 1st 5ghz band. Nothing earth-shattering, but if they
