Awards

"The ZenWiFi AX system was a cinch to set up and use, it offers a much stronger degree of customization than you typically get with a mesh system and it performed like a champ, keeping speeds high throughout all corners of my home and never dropping my signal as I moved from room to room."

This year marks the 10th consecutive year that ASUS has won Readers’ Choice Best Wireless Networking Brand. And they’ve managed to increase their lead from 33% for the 2022 Awards to 39% in 2023.

Which leaves us with an important question. If you are going to splash out on a fancy router, do you want one that's only going to be good for a year or two or, as full-fibre becomes available to more than just those of us who live in big cities, do you want one that's going to be futureproofed for the next five or more years? If the latter, perhaps the new flagship ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 router will be the solution you crave. It's certainly not priced for the average user, but it has so m

All in all, Asus delivers an excellent mesh system, especially with Wifi-6. Users who value the 2.5 Gbit/s connection should go for the AX XT8.

...then you have both the best performing and the most extensive mesh system on the market.

Learn more about tri-band and back-haul

Tri-band. Zero slowdowns.

Unlike traditional dual-band mesh WiFi systems that sacrifice half of the total wireless bandwidth to the backhaul connection, ZenWiFi AX features a tri-band design with a full WiFi band for the backhaul, maximizing system performance and stability. With this upgraded design, you'll experience fast and stable WiFi, even when data transfers through multiple hubs to reach your device.

Backhaul Configuration

ZenWiFi AX allows flexible configuration of the backhaul connection. You can set the second 5GHz band as a dedicated or non-dedicated backhaul connection, enabling maximized backhaul speed or freeing up the fastest 5GHz band for connected devices. If you have Ethernet ports in your walls, you can also set ZenWiFi AX to use Ethernet backhaul, reserving all three WiFi bands for your wireless devices for even more stable and reliable networking.
