If not, bump the issue up to Engineering/Development so that someone actually pays attention to it? Lastly, I upgraded from a single AMPLIFI alien, to the ET12 pro. I have a 1.2gb plan and was really hoping to see speeds stretch above 600-800mbps on Wi-Fi with these units, but performance has been about the same around 450-600, upload speed actually a little lower than the alien. I have a 2.5gb modem, 2.5/10gb switch. Figured going above on all my equipment would let me get the most out of my plan. Am I being unrealistic with expectations or was the alien just that solid? Reply This link works behind the scenes to keep the hardware units together as a system. It also determines the ceiling bandwidth (and speed) of all devices connected to the particular broadcaster.

Frequent firmware update: Asus pushes out firmware updates regularly to fix issues and improve its routers’ performance and function. You can choose to update manually or turn on auto-update. As far as performance is concerned, the Asus ZenWiFi Pro ET12 was able to max out my Internet connection on 5GHz WiFi using my iPhone 14 Pro which is 600Mbps down and 100Mbps up. I could also connect to the 6GHz band using my Pixel 7 Pro but, as expected, the speeds remained the same. With the WAN supporting 2.5G, there is plenty of headroom even if your ISP supports Gigabit plus connections. This same configuration works without a hitch on my RT-AX86u, which I was, again, planning on using as a node on AiMesh. The ZenWiFi Pro XT12 is traditional Tri-band hardware. As such, it works great in a fully wireless mesh setup. You should get it if you live in a large home and are too lazy to run network cables.
What is your recommendation, please? Will I regret not going with ET12? Are there key points I’m not considering? This feature is a huge optional time saver if you have many settings, such as IP reservation and port-forwarding entries. Sure, a Wi-Fi 6E mesh system will work in a wireless configuration — sometimes even quite well if you live in an airy home with lots of open spaces. Most of the time, though, your mileage will vary greatly, and the performance, more often than not, is much lower than your expectations. I have a few questions if you don’t mind, the first I don’t believe was touched on as much. I read through this post and your post on wired AI mesh setup.From top to almost bottom, one corner of the router is beveled to carry a little LED that bears the vendor’s name and the model of the router. I did keep the router for a few more weeks to see if the pros outweighed the cons. They did not. After attaching three more other Asus units in a mesh mode it became completely unreliable - constant drop outs and errors. I spent hours and hours working on this to get it right. I could not.
What sets Asus’s Dynamic DNS apart is that the networking vendor also includes an entirely free DDNS domain — you won’t need to get a third-party one. On top of that, this domain also comes included with an SSL certificate.As noted, there were some issues early on in my testing period with the Wi-Fi 6E connection on my Android 12-powered Zenfone 8. While a Windows 11 PC was able to connect, I had to jump through a couple of hoops to get it working as expected. This would be very frustrating if you had just spent quite a lot of money on this mesh system. I bought this to replace the crappy adtran 856 that fidium supplied us when they set up our 2gig fiber. The adtran had a 2.5g wan port, but only had 1g lan ports, so if I had any devices capable of using the 2g, they wouldn't be able to connect to anything more than 1g. The adtran also seemed to consistently lose performance unless I rebooted the system. Dual-band vs Tri-band vs Quad-band Wi-Fi: What’s the deal? Nice design, two Multi-Gig ports, no USB As a standalone router, its default 2.5Gbps WAN always works as the WAN port, there’s no way to change this.
Great Deal
