Awesome little mesh system. I didn’t expect any less from ASUS. I live in a 2,000 square foot home and this system covers my whole home perfectly. I paired them through a wireless backhaul and I haven’t lost any connection. I initially paired them through Ethernet cable just for the setup then I placed the node in its final location where it paired with the main router wirelessly. This takes advantage of my full internet speed provided by my internet provider. So happy I went with this mesh system and I highly recommend. Was easy to set up through ASUS App and I set mine up by splitting up the 3 networks, 2.4ghz, 5ghz and 6ghz. I have about 30 devices connected to them and running simultaneously. Combination of wireless security cameras, iPads, media streaming devices computers and PlayStations. Right now that all the kids are out on summer break this system is getting put to the test. So far no negative speed impacts or connectivity issues. Will update my review as I have it longer and if any issues arise.
UPDATE: 6ghz transmitting to my devices couldn’t not be achieved from the nodes only from the main router after I did the software update on the mesh system. After much research from older threads this is what I found. Fix from MKFlyers2K from zentalk.asus.xxx “ASUS' firmware is poop. Any deviation will make 6GHZ not work!
1. Download firmware 3.0.0.4.388_23759 for your version, install that firmware on ALL the ROUTERS!
2. On node unit, turn off via switch.
3. On MAIN Unit, Factory reset via WPS method. Turn off unit. Push and HOLD WPS button with unit off then click on unit, one light will come on then another. Once that light goes off turn off unit and let your finger off the WPS button. Turn the unit back on.
4. On NODE Unit(s), do the same. But first do step(5)
5. Setup main router. Whatever you do, do NOT use/enable SMART CONNECT. Do NOT use anything else other then WPA2 for your 2.4 and 5ghz signals. I dont know why, but these settings have to be as I described. You can mess with pretty much any other setting, but I dont know if that will kill your 6ghz signal at your node. Trail and erro come into play. Also the firmware is VERY finicky. So if 6ghz stops working you may have to repeat the steps above. Again, I dont know why, but that was my experience. ONCE YOU DO ALL OF THAT DISABLE AUTO FIRMWARE UPDATE!
6. Ready for some fun now? Because ASUS' firmware is literal CRAP, do whatever you have to do to get your node to link up to the main router. Once you do the node will be in the spot where you want it or you can place it where you want it. Keep in mind, if you are using a WIRELESS backhaul the 6ghz might not work because it MIGHT be used has your backhaul. Other than that ENJOY your 6ghz on the node now!” Following this fixed all my issues too. Probably reason for some of the bad reviews for these units. Benefited me because I was able to buy some really good used like new units from Amazon. Hopefully this helps some of you.

Easy and effective!
I had one of the new routers from our cable company. Unfortunately it was not very good. I tried replacing it, but I could only set in my chair in my living room to talk on my phone. If I moved it would break up and to send a picture by text would take minutes. I bought this router because a technician told me to get an Asus brand mesh system. It was so easy to set up. I just downloaded the app and followed the steps. I was up and running in an hour. I now have Wi-Fi covering my house, garage, basement and my acre of land. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants great coverage. This is awesome especially if you are in an area with no phone service!

ein UserReviewed in Germany on September 30, 2021
sehr zufrieden, aber US-Stecker
bisher hatte ich einen ASUS RT-AC68U Router, wollte nun auf Wifi 6E Upgraden.ein Usersehr zufrieden, aber US-Stecker
Reviewed in Germany on September 30, 2021
Die deutsche Version ASUS XT8 kann nur Wifi 6, deshalb sollte es ein ASUS ET8 mit Wifi 6E sein, welcher aber nur für den amerikanischen Markt vorgesehen ist. (Warum, kann ich nicht sagen).
Da er aber auch hier auf amazon.de verkauft wird, habe ich ihn bestellt.
Habe ihn noch nicht lange, aber mit dem Router und dem Mesh bin ich vollauf zufrieden. Über 12m und eine Betonwand zeigt er immer noch eine "hervorragende" Verbindung an und bisher kann ich nichts negatives feststellen.
Einzig das Netzteil: Es ist nur für den US-Markt ausgelegt (deshalb nur 4 Sterne) und anfangs habe ich mich mit einem Adapter beholfen, jedoch ist mir das zu gefährlich, da sogar dann, wenn der Stecker halb herausgezogen ist, die Kontakte noch immer unter Strom stehen (siehe Bild).
Deshalb habe ich mir nun ein Ywcking 45W Laptop-Ladegerät für ASUS
(
https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B08NCRGYBF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
) gekauft und an den 1. Mesh-Router angeschlossen und läuft.
Nachher kaufe ich mir noch ein 2. Netzteil und dann habe ich zwar insgesamt 45€ mehr ausgegeben, aber wie ich finde, ist das Ergebnis den Gesamtpreis wert. Würde ich wieder kaufen.

Constantly dropping all connected devices, no end to this problem in sight.
