ASUS ZenWiFi Hybrid XP4

Asus's WiFi Mesh router includes dual-band AX1800 with WiFi 6, which means it is a medium-high range WiFi 6 product. Additionally, it has a single jack for the Internet WAN as well as two additional Gigabit Ethernet ports for the local area network, making it ideal for fast connections. It is possible to communicate using this WiFi Mesh system through WiFi at 5GHz, network cable, and also PLC Powerline at speeds of up to 1,300Mbps, however, the speed is heavily dependent on the condition of the electrical network in your home. However having the built-in Powerline Adaptors is a feature that we have not seen before and is well worth the price tag, one could argue that it is a touch overpriced in contrast to the competition but again you do receive two fully-fetched routers. The GUI btw could use an update. The Asus ZenWiFi AX mesh router is a nice piece of equipment, while we did have some issues at the 2400 MHZ band, the 5 GHz when properly configured oozes performance. The mesh extends your range on an extra floor. it remains wifi though so you'll still have dead-spots in some zones. Nice to see is that each mesh unit can connect two LAN devices as well, which helps a little with privacy and even faster connection. These are however gigabit jacks. Currently, you can find a kit for as little as 250 to 200 EUR/USD, and that does mean proper value for a complete Wi-Fi 6 mesh router system with a dedicated backhaul powerline band. So there you have it, your home cable router likely will never be able to give the same level of performance, and it is also difficult to upgrade. With this setup, you could even add a third or 4th device depending on the complexity of your house and place you need to fill with WIFI. As a result, we are absolutely persuaded of the extra value provided by the ASUS ZenWiFi and encourage you to experiment with it at your leisure.
