Reply To: ASUS ZenWiFi AX Whole Home Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 6 System Not sure if this is the right place to ask…. I am thinking of upgrading my Google Mesh wifi to the above. Has anyone used this and does it…

I’m on BT GFAST with the superhub 2 (330mb/50mb)

WiFi is disabled but it’s acting as the router as there’s no bridge mode that I can see on the settings.

Since last night the speed I was getting was around 100mbps on speed test, normally it’s 300mbps on wifi. I’ve changed a bunch of settings again this morning and seem to have cured that issue. Back to normal speed again.

I’ll run it for the rest of the day and see how it goes

I used to have the Orbi RBK52, didn’t really have any issues with that though. Maybe a reboot once  a month but it was starting to struggle more with the sheer amount of devices on the network.

I also trialled the newer 752 Orbi system but found that roaming devices would tend to hang off the main router rather than switch to satellite. Band steering had been removed from the options. So devices were hanging on to 2.4ghz rather than 5. So that went back.

I’ve also got a full Meraki setup, but don’t use it much as I’ve only got a single AP which doesn’t give enough range. Shame because that’s usually bulletproof

Hopefully my stability issues will stop because it’s a decent system when it works!
