Got this a few days ago. Makes a big difference compare to my Vodafone Ultra Hub which can only handle a few devices and weak wifi signal. Now my wifi can reach several houses away and can handle plenty of devices (wireless and wired). I use ethernet backhaul for assured signaling between XT8 unit, one in the ground floor and the other on second floor. Many features as well like, I can have 9 guests separate ssid and have 3 wifi network system. Also I can connect the router directly to Chorus ONT or even behind/after Ultra Hub both works okay and internet speed is not compromised. Currently my ZenWiFi is connected after Ultra Hub so I can...view more Got this a few days ago.

Great performance as a Wi-Fi 6 Mesh system.

Basic configuration easy to set up via bluetooth. Webgui harder to set up but necessary for other configurations. Default IP 192.168.50.1.

Each unit can run as a router, wired access point or wireless node.

Can run with up to 3 SSIDs plus 3 guest.
- 1x 2.4 GHz + 1 Guest
- 2x 5 GHz + 2 Guest
Second 5 GHz bank is not available and used as a dedicated back haul for wireless access point setup. It is available when wired AP provide the backbone.

Also able to run:
- DHCP Server
- VPN Server

Don't seem to be able to buy a single unit to expand the mesh. Apart from the main unit additional units have surplus router and other functionality that you have paid for but do not need.

I am a Spark customer and have been struggling with wifi coverage at home. Now that I have the ASUS ZenWIFI, my wifi runs super-fast connected directly to my fibre modem. Highly recommended if it is within your budget. I am a Spark customer and have been struggling with wifi coverage at home.

I purchased this system to upgrade to WiFi 6 in a large 2 storey home. I previously had an Orbi wifi 5 mesh system which was good but this system has been far more reliable, faster and the coverage is phenomenal. Highly recommended.

Really ready set up, great that protection and parental controls are built in and don't cost any extra. And most importantly, speeds and coverage are fantastic.

If your budget allows I would rate this the best all-around Mesh system at present. Incredible difference in my house for both speed and coverage (40mb down in the lounge to 800mb, no there isn't an extra zero there, it is 20x faster now) and no blind spots at all within the house (and probably not the neighbours houses either for that matter). Simple to set up, smartphone app is useful, full web interface packed with features (and none of the dishonest trial anti-malware that then requires a subscription seen from some competitors).

Got this router recently as we were struggling with the internet uptime and performance especially when you have more than one working from home plus the need for using the smart TV to stream movies. This router has been a blessing. Now I get super high performance even on old devices that are not WIFI6 capable. With my WIFI6 device like iPhone I get around 750MB download and 450MB upload. With older devices, I still get around 100-200MB speeds.

Bought this to upgrade from a google mesh. I made a mistake setting it up using the app , (the old ASUS router supplied by my ISP insisted on taking priority), but once it was set up, I consistently get speeds in the region of 400-500 mbps! I am impresed! Bought this to upgrade from a google mesh.

This system got my internet speeds to nearly 4X its current speed just by changing to the hardware! I am preparing for hyper fiber installs however I wanted to see if this hardware would create a difference on my current fiber plan and it sure did!

From 170 Mbps to a very stable 600+ Mbps and these speeds are achieved wirelessly, nothing is hardwired to the zen unit itself, even better is that there are no longer any dead zones throughout the house (506sqm). I would struggle to get wifi signal to front lounge and front bedrooms of the house but since install this is no longer an issue.

Have only had the product 2 or so weeks and am yet to have any issues with it. Set up was super easy. It did as it should without any issues it was as simple as plug in, follow steps in the app, wait 5 minutes for the nodes to do their thing and done.

Very happy with this purchase, even if was a little on the expensive side, I believe in this case that you get what you pay for.

It cost's more than it should but the feature, performance and range is great. It cost's more than it should but the feature, performance and range is great.

Big boost in speed over my previous Gogle Home mesh. 4 to 5x faster in most locations in teh house. Now getting close to my Fibre speed, up to 750mbps. Great control through the app. Big boost in speed over my previous Gogle Home mesh. 4 to 5x faster in most locations in teh house. Now getting close to my Fibre speed, up to 750mbps.

I have been waiting for this to be released in NZ for months... I have read mixed reviews online (Everyone agrees it is fast, but some people have issues with reliability). I have only had it running for a day, so I can't tell you how reliable it is. But the speeds and reach are very very impressive. I previously had an AMplifi HD Mesh system, which did reach over most of the house (300sqm), but the speeds on the outer parts were not that great. This XT8 is blazing fast, just about everywhere....
