Ok, so one of my contacts at ASUS has kindly sent me the link for their new ZenWifi (Wifi 6E) units that will be available early in the new year for the UK/EU.
ZenWiFi Pro ET12 and XT12
ZenWiFi Pro ET12 and XT12 wireless routers mesh with the best

Today’s highest-performing wireless networks need to serve more and more devices with more bandwidth than ever before. ZenWiFi Pro mesh wireless routers offer the most MU-MIMO capacity of any ASUS mesh system for the most demanding environments. The ZenWiFi Pro ET12 harnesses WiFi 6E to offer cutting-edge connectivity to compatible client devices, while the ZenWiFi Pro XT12 delivers a premium WiFi 6 experience.
You shouldn’t have to choose between fast WiFi and eye-catching aesthetics. With their sophisticated design, the ZenWiFi Pro ET12 and XT12 will complement the style of your home. Their professional finish, parallel lines, and vertical orientation calls to mind the practical elegance of modern skyscrapers. Transparent material on the top gives an inside look at the omnidirectional antennas beneath. These routers don’t hide what they are. Their unique design uses the right balance of engineering and elegance to announce that these are no ordinary mesh WiFi routers.
The ET12 and XT12 are easy to set up and easy to use. With a ZenWiFi Pro system, you can set up a whole-home mesh network in mere minutes, and once they’re up and running you can control them with a convenient smartphone app or with your Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa-enabled smart speaker. And with their no-fuss tools for security and privacy, the ZenWiFi Pro ET12 and XT12 make it easy to run a healthy home network that keeps your data and devices safe.
Check your six
The 2.4GHz band offers excellent range and broad compatibility, and the 5GHz band provides higher performance, but both are increasingly crowded with devices and can be prone to interference. The WiFi 6 technologies on the ZenWiFi Pro XT12 can alleviate congestion when it’s managing a network of compatible WiFi 6 devices. Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) allows the router to communicate with multiple devices simultaneously by dividing slices of the frequency spectrum into sub-channels. OFDMA is complemented by multi-user, multiple input, multiple output (MU-MIMO), which uses multiple transmit and receive antennas so that the router can talk to many devices at the same time.As a WiFi 6E router, the ZenWiFi Pro ET12 offers all the congestion-alleviating technologies of WiFi 6 with access to the wide-open spectrum of the 6GHz band as the cherry on top. To open a new frontier of wireless networking, the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted access to the 6GHz band. Because the congestion-management and latency-reducing features of WiFi 6 are mandatory for devices compatible with this spectrum, they’ll enjoy low interference and top-end performance when they’re connected to a network managed by the ET12.
Even if you don’t have WiFi 6E devices yet, the ZenWiFi Pro ET12 offers compelling performance advantages. As a mesh networking system, the ET12 has two separate components that work in tandem to extend WiFi coverage to every floor and corner of your home. The 6GHz spectrum is ideal for the backhaul connection between the two units. It provides a low-interference connection with up to 4804Mbps of bandwidth that maintains a stable link for all your connected devices.
Many routers offer 5GHz connections, but not all 5GHz routers are built the same. The ZenWiFi Pro ET12 can access a high-power 160MHz slice of the 5GHz spectrum. Only recently made available for home WiFi in the United States, this 5.9GHz band is unaffected by radar signals, and it offers wider coverage than you’ve come to expect from 5GHz.
To make sure that the bandwidth potential of the ZenWiFi Pro ET12 and XT12 isn’t bottlenecked by the connection to your modem, we equipped both routers with dual 2.5G Ethernet ports. Connect one port to your modem to give your network full access to the internet connection you’re paying for, and use the other to give a 2.5GbE-equipped device like your gaming PC or network-attached storage appliance unfettered bandwidth. Alternatively, the 2.5G Ethernet ports can be used for a high-bandwidth wired backhaul. Two more Gigabit Ethernet ports on each node provide flexible options for connecting even more wired devices to your network.
