Blistering fast performance and excellent coverage in a 2500 sqft house with two BQ16 Pros.
Surprisingly, ethernet was not selected automatically as preferred backhaul and had to jump through multiple menus to use all 4 available wifi bands including 6Ghz-2 as fronthaul on both the mesh nodes. In AP mode, i'm unable to hide the SSID of my guest/legacy/IoT network. Turning on MLO constantly drops connection with my M1 Macbook Pro which supports Wifi 6E and honestly might be poor compatibility in macOS than Asus. MLO speed on my iPhone 16 Pro with Wifi 7 is less than 6Ghz without MLO sitting near the router. At this price point, all ethernet ports should be multi-gig.

Setup took about 10-15 minutes with no glitches. While I don't yet have any Wifi 7 client devices, the speed improvements I'm seeing over my previous AiMesh system (wifi 6) are noticeable already. While I've only had the system running for over a day so far, I've had absolutely no stability issues, etc. I'm running a main network, IoT and guest networks and adding my appliances, etc to the IoT network was seamless. Highly recommend!

After being an early adopter of another wifi 7 mesh router, and returning it due to reliability issues, I decided to wait until ASUS released the ZenWIFI BQ16 Pro. Couldn't have made a better decision. I've been using it for about two months now, and could not be happier. It took all of 30 minutes to set up, and has been working flawlessly ever since. Best of all, the signal strength is strong throughout the house, even the basement with all of the metal piping and wires.

Easy setup. Great range. Small issue with direct back haul connecting but worked perfectly with wireless backhaul. I'll try at future date to see if the direct back haul will work.
