ET12 AXE11000 Whole-Home Tri-band Mesh WiFi 6E System Coverage up to 610 Sq. Mtr/6,000 Sq. ft.,11Gbps WiFi, 3 SSIDs, free security & parental controls, Dual 2.5G ports LAN Aggregation 2 pack

I purchased the Asus ET12 to replace an ageing Netgear RBK50 system, and am very impressed so far with the performance. The first thing to note is expense. This is an expensive product and may be overkill for many. Things I particularly liked were: Powerful signal coverage offered - Suitable for large homes with many floors/rooms and/or large gardens. Since the two devices are routers in their own right I attain fast wifi over three floors as well as good speeds 80ft away at the end of the garden. Although wifi 6E is a dedicated wider bandwidth with faster possible speeds you should bear in mind that 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz signals will travel further. Powerful feature set - Very configurable and unlike Netgear which charges for most options, Asus provides them for free(e.g. VPN, DDNS, content filtering etc). You can also use some other routers in their range if you have them to be part of the AImesh system. Future proofing - Wifi 6E (Its enabled but not many device can take advantage of this yet. Wifi 7 is coming shortly too so if thats important to you, wait for a future version or perhaps use a cheaper router variant like the Asus ET8). Premium products - These units are very well built and engineered, even the packaging is impressive and this feels like a premium product. Downsides Initial Configuration - Before I could connect the routers together in what Asus call AiMesh (the manual instructs you to do this via a wifi backhaul connection first). I could not get this to work without firstly upgrading the Firmware on both Routers. This meant using each router in turn as a Master device connected to the Internet and then they synced up successfully. Once you have done so you should connect each router together via a hardwired Ethernet connection cable of suitable speed. I also saw this issue with Asus XT12 units which I tried first but returned. Wifi backhaul (connecting the two routers together via wifi) was unreliable in my home due to distance/walls etc. USB removal - Other Asus routers allow you to connect USB drives and use them as mini NAS drives. If this is important to you look at the older XT/ET8 routers. Cost - They are expensive units although I saved some money during an Amazon sale - they are however much cheaper and more configurable than comparable Netgear products. If you like gadgets these are great, but wifi is a necessity for most and it still pains me to pay so much for something that is pretty mundane. I guess you get what you pay for here and this will most likely appeal to Networking geeks more than others. N.B. This system is intended to be wired together via Ethernet cable, freeing all bands up for Wifi usage. To one of the reviewers complaining about this but using a wifi 6 signal backhaul to link them, you would be best placed using the Asus XT12 which is faster in that scenario (wifi 6E is not offered by that system however). For reference and a detailed writeup of capabilities I'd suggest using google to read reviews of these systems by Dong Knows Tech.

Waited a little while before reviewing this as I wanted to make sure it was worth the very expensive price. We have a large home consisting of 2 large living rooms/a very large kitchen and then 4 large bedrooms plus a usable loft space. Our house is a smart home house using Alexa’s in every room/ring doorbell/lights/hive thermostat. We also have numerous smart TV’s/firesticks & fire cubes. Plus 2 PlayStation 5s/pc/nintendo switch/10 various Sonos speakers and then finally everyone’s mobile phones and tablets. So all in all roughly 40+ devices all fighting for internet bandwidth. We currently run this with virgin media’s 1GB broadband. First thing I will say is 2 nodes are completely overkill for most homes. As I mentions before our house is larger than most due to it being a nearly 150 year old farmhouse with solid brick walls externally and internally and the signal in EVERY room and even in our garden is superb. Inside on my iPhone in any room I get speeds of 750mbps which is max for iPhones on 5G WiFi. The system is very easy to set up and once it’s up and running thats it…… it just works and hasn’t failed me once so far. I do have the WI-FI bands separated rather than as one because I like to keep all our smart devices on the 2GHz band and our leisure devices on a mixture OF 5 & 6GHz but that’s just my preference and when I originally set up before tweaking everything worked fine as a single mesh system. Yes it’s a little expensive but worth every penny in my eyes as iv had cheaper routers from other brands in the past and have had numerous problems trying to get decent signal around our house. So far one VERY happy customer 🔥

Okay, I'll admit it, I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to tech. So when our old router started struggling with our Virgin Media 1Gbps connection and our growing number of devices, I went down a rabbit hole of research. That's how I landed on the ASUS ET12 AXE11000. And let me tell you, it was worth every penny (even though it's a bit pricey!). Setup was a breeze. Just a heads up, make sure you switch your Virgin Media Hub to modem mode and use a good quality Ethernet cable (Cat 6 or above) to connect it to the 5Gbps port on the ASUS router. No more dead zones! This thing absolutely blasts Wi-Fi throughout our entire house. We even added an ASUS ZenWiFi mesh unit in the spare room for extra coverage, and it works seamlessly with the main router. Speeds are insane. We consistently get over 1,100 Mbps, and even with multiple devices running at once (gaming consoles, laptops, phones, you name it), there's no slowdown at all. Rock-solid reliability. We've had this router since 2023, and it's been absolutely flawless. No dropouts, no glitches, just pure performance. Plus, ASUS keeps pushing out firmware updates that add new features and improve security. Bottom line: If you're serious about your home Wi-Fi and have a lot of devices or a fast internet connection, the ASUS ET12 AXE11000 is the real deal. It's expensive, but it delivers on every promise.

Excelentes, me encantaron! Los aparatos funcionan muy bien y son muy faciles de configusrar cuando ya tienen arreglado el tema del modem del proveedor de internet. En mi caso cambie mu rauter de antenas por eestos dos y el poceso fue muy sencillo y atraves de la aplicacion te van diciendo que hacer, completamente recomendados. Solo chequen el tema de los cables porque a mi me llegaron con enchufes europeos y los repuestos que enviaron no coincidian con las entradas del aparato asi que tuve comprar unos cambles que coincidieran en Steren y todo funciono de maravilla.

They have blown me away with how well they work... 50 meters outside the house and still getting a signal... The best Mesh system, I have ever owed.... It just works....

I ordered a NetGear RBKE963 with international delivery to UAE and it was unusable due to 110VAC power adapter, ordered the ASUS ET12 as an alternative. Double glazed windows with tinting attenuate WiFi signal strength, and these devices not only deliver poor Wi-Fi performance out doors, the latest firmware update disconnects my printer, IPTV and TV from the Wi-Fi. Just ordered at UAE Netgear RBKE963 to replace

When you try to register the product on the vendor's website, it says "warranty expired" - contacted Asus, they confirm that they are not offering any warranty for the product, only Amazon does...

I'm located in Florida; USA and I purchased this product because it had great reviews. Upon receiving the product, I notice that it came with only one US power cable that is not compatible with the power supply that comes with the units. The other power cable provided are for outside the US. The product comes with two units, and I currently have no way to power them up.
