ASU’s ZenWifi Pro XT-12 WiFi Mesh Router 2 pk £559.99 @ Amazon

Great system…went from deco to Linksys mx4200 to the xt8 then these…far superior in terms of reach and speeds. Two pods covers my house whereas needed 3/4 with other models

Any idea if putting these on their side will impact performance? Won't fit upright in our TV unit. Thanks.

Looks great but for this price I would expect Wi-Fi 6E

As stated above, you may be lucky and have the ability for a cheap router to cover your house. For those of us with dead spots / WiFi black holes etc this may be the solution. My current mesh router cost me £350 and still doesn’t do the job.

I'd been waiting for these to come on offer and recently ordered them. They've been returned, something I don't often do. YMMV but I had dropouts when moving between nodes and although using wired backhaul even the ethernet connections would drop. I was attempting to mesh it with a slightly older asus dsl router which was one of the reasons to get these since they're supposedly interoperable. It turns out that they cant be interchanged as freely as advertised. The router couldn't been configured in access point mode and as a router (incompatible with my connection now) none of the mesh nodes will not allow you to update the firmware. OK, so removed the older router as a node and just setup the new nodes and attempt to update the firmware. Update from the UI doesn't work. No details as to why, nothing in the logs, just fails. So I go to the support link in the Web ui. Dead link. Over to Google, a bit of manual searching, get an updated firmware to try yo update them and solve the dropping problems. First one updates fine. Second one goes through the update process, reboots and still on the same firmware. Retry, same result. Try to downgrade the newer node to the original firmware, same result. Try recovery mode, same result. So now I have 3 nodes -- 1 I can't use because it has an arbitrary restriction placed on it by asus. The other 2 are stuck on different firmware.

Off to the support page I go. I need to register the product to get support. Type in the serial number. It shows the product name and model. Great. Hit register -- registration unsuccessful. No details as to why, just a blank white page with that text. Try again, same result. Try the second node, same result.

That's enough. Hours wasted, back in the box, return request raised. My advice -- don't bother. They have a high price tag, but it's not a polished product. There's limitions on how they can be deployed too, such as the wired backhaul topology. At this price tag there's a few options available, so no need to settle for a sub par product.

still unable to undersatnd, whats the catch here. Similar setup is easily possible by spending 70-90 pounds.

Just get unifi equipment guys, what are you thinking with 600 pound asus gear
