Good Value
Good value, easy setup - very straight forward and simple to setup. High speed and connectivity has been stable in our house - the two units are 35 feet apart and we are still getting good (2 of 4 bars) reception. These have replaced 4 older AX1800s and work much better.

A pain to setup, but worth the hassle.
Got this as a refurb. Setting it up took a couple of hours - had to update firmware and work around some app issues - but has extra security features baked in, does not require a software subscription, and has been notably faster with better range than prior setup, which was TP-Link Archer with an extender.

Blocked Homelab/Server Access
I wanted to upgrade from my old mesh setup but this isn't it. The UI is a bit clunky but the killer was the fact that I couldn't access local services. As soon as I got this set up and connected I lost access to my personal server running UnRaid and I lost access to my smart home controller (mini PC) running Home Assistant. I tweaked the settings over and over and over, factory reset several times, and made sure the firmware was up-to-date, but I could never dial it in. The only time I could access my services locally were in-between router reboots. Accessing remotely didn't work at all. I've read other reviews saying specific services were blocked and support couldn't figure it out either. Seems like the only good networking equipment these days is for enterprise environments. The rest is consumer-grade slop.

Excellent mesh coverage with easy fast set up
Fast set up, extremely good coverage. Most configuration just worked out of the box, and web-based and mobile app based interfaces provide access to all kinds of advanced customization. Most importantly though coverage is fantastic both for wired and wireless mesh nodes

Great Potential, Unstable Firmware
This mesh router has the best WiFi 6 hardware I've used, together with a great user interface. It is dual band at 5 GHz. Both bands support 160 MHz Wifi 6 data at 1.2 Gb/s, faster than gigabit ethernet. By default, one band is configured for your devices, the other for WiFi backhaul. Configured that way, it will deliver 1+ Gb/s to devices connected through a satellite.Problem is, it is just not stable with two 160 MHz channels configured. After a few hours to a few days it gets into a mode where transmission degrades to about 20-30% of nominal. It stays that way until you give it a power cycle, a retrain cycle, or some kind of reconfiguration that forces a retrain cycle. Then it is good again. For a while.I tried different versions of the firmware on my router. All had the problem. By the time you read this, Asus may have fixed it. Or not. It's one of those intermittents that take time to reproduce. This is a low end unit, usually sold a discount, so its probably not getting much love. That's a shame, because for most people, it's the best mesh router out there.I got tired messing with the problem. and returned my units. I don't have the test equipment or the source code to fix it myself.

Reliable mesh network with ZenWiFi XT9
I bought them to extend my existing ASUS XT9 mesh network. It was easy to set up with the ASUS app. The network is stable and provides great coverage over every corner of the house and in the yards. XT9 has advanced features that tech savvy users will find useful. But out of the box, it works great without any further tinkering.
