For now, in my trial, that was not possible yet. No matter how much I tried, I couldn’t link them together. The AiMesh setup process would just fail every single time. And I tried many times. Had the arris s33 throughout all this where my networking box is along With said routers as I didn’t have a switch and had to use the extra lans to supply wired internet throughout home. On the downside, considering the router’s large physical size, I wish it had more network ports — most routers have five ports. There’s no USB port, either, which will make fans of router-based mini NAS servers disappointed. Everything you can expect from an Asus AiMesh router, with pre-synced hardware Connect your router’s WAN port to the Internet source, be it a modem, an existing gateway, or the Fiberoptic ONT. Turn it on.

Supported VPN fusion. It can easily achieve VPN connection to network devices like Smart TV, Game consoles and without installing the VPN client software. And there are even more similarities, as you’ll note in the hardware specifications below. Hardware specifications: ZenWiFi Pro XT12 vs ZenWiFi Pro ET12 One 5 GHz band with a total maximum bandwidth of 4804 Mbps. It can work using either Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6. While AiProtection is available in all Asus routers, some get a stripped-down version due to their limited processing power. The XDR, which is the router unit of the XD4 mesh set, is an example. Its Network Protection and Parental Controls are neutered.) Adaptive QoSSo, long story short, while this router may be great running NAT, there’s no ability to add any nodes via AiMesh (or even log into it) after configuring it with a static IP on the WAN side. Asus Tech Support was of no help, telling me to repeatedly go to “192.168…” when I clearly articulated that I’m using routable, non-NATted IPs with a static on the WAN side of the router, as I’m using the ET12 Pro as a wireless bridge. On the other hand, as a Wi-Fi 6E device, the Zen Wi-Fi Pro ET12 has a 2.4GHz band, a 5GHz band, and a 6GHz band. It’s the second Asus home router I’ve tested with two Multi-Gig ports. (The RT-AX89X has one SFP+ port.) And that’s great! This flexibility makes it easy to build a whole home mesh with ASUS, though the freedom also means adding nodes can be a bit more troublesome. You’ll want to keep your fastest nodes at the core of your network, and you should keep in mind that while you can pair an older router with your ET12 system, doing so could impact your wireless performance in that area. For the most part, you want your nodes to have about the same performance as the core of your system. ASUS ZenWiFi Pro ET12 review: What's not so good In a WAN Link Aggregation, you must use both of its 2.5Gbps ports, to deliver a combined connection of up to 5Gbps.

The good news is, no matter what setup, be it a standalone router, wireless, or wired mesh, the ZenWiFi Pro E12 proved reliable. During my week-long testing, I had no issue with disconnections, both locally and with Internet access. Do you recommend keeping smart connect on, or keeping the signals separate in a wired setup? My floor plan is pretty open with clear view to both routers. I guess my question is, did smartconnect cause you any issues switching between 2.4 to 5g even when you were in close range? What is your recommendation, please? Will I regret not going with ET12? Are there key points I’m not considering? Speaking of the price, there simply aren’t too many home users that need to spend this much money on a Wi-Fi solution. It can be tempting to go all out on a Wi-Fi system like this, but with so much speed available on cheaper systems, it can be hard to recommend spending this much money on a two-piece mesh kit. The worse your current Wi-Fi situation is, the bigger the difference this kit will make. With Wi-Fi 6E and all the trimmings, you're definitely well protected for the future, as more and more gadgets evolve to support the standard and ever-faster Wi-Fi speeds.

It’s hard to put the coverage in a concrete number — it varies depending on the environment — but if you have a house of fewer than 3000 ft 2 (279 m 2), place it in the middle, and chances are one of its bands will reach every corner. The Asus ZenWiFi Pro ET12’s performance as a single router
