Reply To: ASUS ZenWiFi BT10 Whole Home Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 7 System – Official Thread I am thinking of upgrading from my XT8’s to the BT10. My 4x XT8 setup have been an absolute champ after the first few months of buggy FW releases from…

The BT8 and BT10 can work together in an AiMesh network and as you are utilising Ethernet backhaul, then most of your mesh problem will be removed, both models belong to the ASUS ZenWiFi AX (WiFi 6) family and support AiMesh, so they are designed to be compatible.

Only issue I see is that if you introduce a 2x BT8 nodes into a BT10 system, then small chance there could be issues due to nodes running different firmwares compared to Primary, but issue is only a small one.

Mixing BT8s with BT10s is a sensible, cost-effective option but just be aware that direct WiFi performance for clients connecting to the BT8 nodes may be a little lower compared to BT10 nodes, but with wired backhaul, your core network stability and speed should remain strong.

If you can add a switch to the setup. this then gives you more options to connect TV,s PC’s etc via LAN cables and gives you the option for future scalability and a centralised wired network.
