ASUSZenWiFi BT8 Tri-Band WiFi 7 Mesh, 14 Gbps, 3000 sq.ft. (1pk), Dual 2.5G Ports, Security and Parental Controls Included, Smart Home Master SSIDs, 4G & 5G Mobile Tethering

I recently upgraded to the ASUS BT8 to further enhance my home network coverage, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. The setup was incredibly straightforward—plug it in, follow the on-screen instructions via the ASUS mobile app, and everything was up and running in just a few minutes.The BT8 truly shines when it comes to coverage. It effectively eliminated dead zones in my apartment, especially in corners where the Wi-Fi signal used to be weak.What also impressed me is the app’s real-time monitoring function. I can easily check which devices are connected, adjust settings, and manage bandwidth—all from my phone.Overall, the BT8 is a solid investment for anyone looking to build a reliable and efficient mesh network. Fast, stable, and easy to manage—it’s everything I needed.

Update as of 9/24/25.I lost my cell phone and had to download the Asus app again.Could not remember my password, and the only option is to factory reset my password. That's just not acceptable, why use an app at all?Updating this review on 9/21/2025. After using the router for 2 months, this router does not work for me. I have taken the time to update drivers on my laptop and I have a brand-new Android S24. The internet connection is still sketchy with some apps timing out because connection is slow or stops.TV's frequently are unable to connect with Netflix.I have also not been able to get my Arlo Door-cam to connect to the router.ITs an expensive router, and not very good.I am going back to Netgear products. They have always been bulletproof.I have a ~1800 square foot ranch house. Everything is on one level. The house has a basement, and I mounted A Netgear R6400 router just about dead center of the house, it was mounted to the floor joists.This setup worked very well. Solid signal throughout the house and even out on the patio in the backyard.I finished the basement and had to move the netgear router maybe 2 feet off center, but those 2 feet caused it to sit on the wrong side of a wood beam and my signal out on the patio tanked.I bought this Asus ZenWifi BT8 figuring it might perform better than the old router which was 5+ years old.It does not. Not only does it not cover the space any better, but all of my device's experience glitches using the internet.Pages will just stall to load.The installation directions state clearly that you may need to update your device drivers to something that supports WIFI 7. I did not update the drivers, because I saw no benefit to the solution. So I am going back to the old router and adding a netgear extender to cover the patio. Even when the devices are not glitching out, the throughput is nothing better than I had with the netgear.My message here... Unless you are prepared to take a chance updating the device drivers to something that supports WIFI 7, this device is not worth the price. There was no performance gain experienced, and I have yet to be successful connecting my Ring Camera to the network since the move to Asus.

ASUS ZenWiFi – A Seamless Upgrade for Better Coverage and Speed!!!After experiencing persistent dead zones throughout my home with a single router, I decided to upgrade to the ASUS ZenWiFi system. With a growing number of smart devices, my previous setup simply couldn’t keep up. From the moment I installed this system, the difference was clear....Effortless SetupThe installation process was simple and intuitive. I powered on both units in the same room, connected the main unit to my AT&T fiber modem, and completed the setup through the mobile app. Within minutes, everything was fully operational—no technical headaches.Strong Signal, Sleek DesignDespite my home being a modest 1,500 sq ft, I now have strong, reliable WiFi in every room. The system’s sleek, compact design fits discreetly into any space without being intrusive.Fast and Stable PerformanceSpeeds consistently range from 800 to 900 Mbps, depending on the room. More importantly, the connection is stable—I no longer deal with frustrating resets or dropouts.Subtle, Yet Significant ImpactThis upgrade quietly transformed my daily experience with WiFi. There’s no fanfare—just consistent performance, broad coverage, and a smoother online experience across all our devices.

I've had these routers for about two weeks and they're now running fine. I noticed some poor reviews and feel those customers suggered from the sale of earlier models that didn't have the bugs worked out. As others mention, initial setup takes some time but worked out fine. Just be careful to follow the included written guide exactly. I think Asus has tried to address the initial complaints and has released several updates to the product firmware. I've seen two updated firmwares downloaded aince purchase. All in all wifi is strong and fast throughout my home. No random disconnects or draggy speed. The Asus app is required for initial setup but otherwise limited in functionality. A computer and web interface is needed to delve into the more complex aspects of router configuration.

everything works perfectly now.**Pros**-Looks great and blends into most home decoration-Has 4 ethernet ports with one 2.5G WAN and one 2.5G LAN-Super easy to install with the ASUS router app-The app automatically optimizes my network, and it does so quickly-No more dropped signals at all-Impressive range, I get Wi-Fi both indoors and outside in my yard-Easy to expand by adding more units—these have 4 ethernet ports and give a nice boost to speed-It seamlessly switches between routers and extenders as I move around**Cons**-None so far. I’m very happy with this purchase!
