Replaced some draytek kit (vigor 2860 and ap901) as i upgraded to full fibre 1000mps. I’ve been very impressed with this kit. Works at full speed and gives a strong signal throughout the building. Like the lifetime subscription to the trend micro security scanning. The level of control over the device is excellent and to be honest, more useful that much of the ‘extras’ on the draytek kit. For the advanced user there is more than enough control. Pros:really like the dedicated wireless backhaul capability. Mine is wired so i can use the additional 5ghz band to make wifi even faster. Built in security from trendapp is good and gives you a good range of functionality.
I bought this, as i had major troubles with the netgear night hawk, so i put that one aside and decided to buy something better but more expensive. Its easy to setup, done it in 15mins max. It has lots of functions that can be used and does have a app that can do many tweaks. I like the fact that i can create a mesh network and also i can create guest networks that can seperate the wifi networks, as i have some wifi products that can only work on the 2g wifi. A mesh network mixes 5g and 2g wifi together to create a seamless wifi, but that also means some problems with connect with 2g wifi products. So luckily this product can create seperate wifi for these situations. U can schedule the box to do a weekly reboot which can keep it working in better shape.
I have suffering for the long time as my computer was able to receive only 20 -25 mbs over electrical socket ac1300 adaptors from incoming to the router 350 mbs and wifi was nearly dead at the point. I assume it was down to the fact that foil packs with rockwool was fitter in between celling and next level floor. Router was located on ground floor where desktop we located on first. Direct distance between them was about 4 meters. I have placed one asus zenwifi ax (xt8) next to the router and put another next to the desktop. So i became able to get all 350 mbs now, and all other devices connected by wifi on 5 – 10 meters started receiving internet around 150 – 300 mbs. I became very impressed very fast internet connection any ware in my 3 floor house and garden.
Arrived today & seems very fast. Super easy set up (plug in, turn on, dl the app & follow the steps on the app). Speed (via ookla) is the same whether laptop plugged directly in to the virgin router as a modem (219mbps) as it is plugged in at the satellite on the opposite side of the house, connected only by default wifi backhaul. This is despite being a big long house, with 4 solid walls plus floor/ceiling in between the 2 nodes. I will add that the 1st unit is on the floor behind the tv stand (hidden) and the 2nd is on the floor upstairs right by the external wall (i. I couldnt get them further away if i tried). The connection is excellent (-47db) and frankly i’m impressed. Sadly mine turned up with a damaged cable with the copper visible, so will have to go back, but i’ll be replacing it asap.
I have a fairly large 5 bedroom house and have always struggled to get decent wifi in some areas. I had been using a netgear tri- band router with powerline extensions, but coverage was still not ideal. Following the covid 19 situation, i found myself competing for bandwidth with my wife and 2 children. With all the ms teams, zoom meetings, streaming and gaming going on, my broadband was struggling. My initial plan was to get an asus gt-ax11000 as the main router with the zenwiifi xt8 as nodes in a mesh system. I was however unable to get hold of that router (at a decent price anyway). So i thought i would give the xt8 a go on their own. Set up using the mobile app was simple, basically it guides you through setting up one unit (doesn’t matter which) as the router and then set up the other as a node nearby. Then move the node to another location. To my surprise the first unit alone was sending out a strong enough single to cover over 80% of the house.
