This review is for the ZenWifi ET9 (same as AXE7800) 2-pack. This tri-band Wifi 6E was easy to install and downstairs coverage is great. I have two older ASUS dual-band wifi routers that I reset and added as AiMesh nodes. They extend wireless coverage to my detached garage and backyard. Now I can stream and listen to music while tinkering there without dropping the signal. I wish the ET9 had four ethernet ports on the back instead of just three. I had to sacrifice one of my four lines to wireless connection. My other option is to buy and use a gigabit switch to add back the hardwire line. I have always liked the ASUS wifi user interface more than its major competitors. It is great on my browser and on the mobile app. The throughput speed from my internet provider (Xfinity) is finally delivering my contracted download speed through my Motorola MB8611 DOCSIS 3.1 modem. With this system, I am also able to use the free Instant Guard VPN app from remote locations for secure browsing. This is new for me. I expect the same reliability in the ET9 routers as the earlier generation ASUS routers have given me.
