ASUS ZenWiFi BT6 Tri-Band WiFi 7 Mesh, 9.4 Gbps, 7600 square feet (3 units), 2.5G WAN port, security and parental control included, Smart Home Master SSID, 4G and 5G Mobile Tethering- BT6

Upload compared to my Eero 6+ was horrible. Download was marginally better. On paper this is a good gigabyte system but in reality it had lesser range. Ended up returning it. App and settings are great though. Maybe only the upper end units like the BQ16 actually perform like they should.

On paper, it looks great but in reality, it’s a disaster. Constant random disconnects, and the LAN port only works sometimes!!!. Honestly, don’t even waste your time and money. A 20-year-old router would be more reliable than this peiceof JUNK.

Only having 1Gbps lan ports makes it extremely odd and difficult to use. Although signal is solid and works as expected. Spend few more hundreds for BT8 or even get other brands is smarter move. Seriously, I don't think having only 1Gbps lan ports is acceptable at this price.

This mesh router system replaced an older Netgear dual-band Wifi6 unit that has been running for over 7 years, 24/7, and is now out of support. We decided to replace that router before it failed on us, as we work from home and cannot afford to lose our network. Our older system did cover the entire house, but there were definitely weak spots where connection speeds would drop and the older unit did not cover our entire backyard very well. This new mesh system provides outstanding coverage throughout every part of our house - we have gigabit fiber internet and with three nodes, this system is easily able to saturate that, giving full speed even at the furthest edges of the house and yard. We chose to use the same SSID and passphrase as our old router, so every internet-connected device in our house connected automatically, as soon as we powered it on and it initialized itself. Setup took a few minutes for the unit to boot up, connect to our fiber gateway, and then connect to its mesh nodes. After that, we simply relocated the nodes roughly evenly through the house, one on the main level along with the base unit, and one upstairs in the game room. The result? Perfect signal throughout the entire house and yard. The Asus software is straightforward and easy to use, and provides excellent real-time monitoring and logging capability, along with now-standard features like firewalling, custom domain keyword blocks, VPN support, etc. The unit also supports a guest network as well as an older-spec dual-band “IoT” network for any smart devices in the home that may not be fully compatible with Wifi7. Each of the three units has several ethernet ports for hardwired connectivity for non-Wifi devices in addition to simply extending the network mesh. Handoff for devices moving through the house like smartphones and smart watches is seamless. Everything in the house simply works, from streaming boxes, tablets, phones, watches and smart home devices. All in all, this is an excellent choice for a typical highly-connected modern house.

Update as of December 2025 ASUS released a firmware update in November of 2025 that highly recommended performing a factory reset of all mesh routers in the system after completing the update. Since updating and performing the factory reset, all issues I previously experienced have been resolved. This mesh system is fast, stable, and I can absolutely recommend purchasing it now. I will update my review in the future if any issues arise. Do not buy this mesh wifi system. Intermittent connection issues that have no clear or consistent resolution. Sometimes rebooting the entire system fixes the issue, sometimes it doesn't. From my troubleshooting, the issue appears to be a problem with the mesh systems ability to resolve DNS requests. I have performed every troubleshooting step in the book, and the issue persists. Multiple factory resets, multiple firmware updates, daily/nightly reboots, multiple setting/configuration changes, and the problem continues. When it works, it is great. Unfortunately I have spent more time troubleshooting this $600+ system than I would like to admit. Stay away. I am shocked to see a product from Asus have these issues. I purchased this system months ago and was willing to give Asus a few months to release a firmware update that fixed it. 5 months later the issue persists and based on the other reviews I am not the only one.
