- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 February 2021Size Name: 1 PACK BLACKStyle Name: AC300O Tri Band Mesh 3 + BedroomsVerified PurchaseFor the last 18 months or so our wifi has been terrible. Perhaps with more devices being added to the network over time, it was something that our provider (Virgin) just couldn’t help us with or diagnose.
It became more apparent during the lockdown, with two people working from home and 2 kids on devices, MS teams wouldn’t connect, zoom meetings would constantly drop, Netflix always buffering, youtube getting watched at a potato inducing 240hp.
Our apple phones could connect to the wifi, but not receive any data, hence 4g getting rinsed on a regular basis. Virgin claiming that there is nothing wrong with our router, which was manufactured in 12BC. They refused to send anything newer out.
Ordered 2 or 3 different wifi boosters, none of them either worked or would even connect to the router.
Was tearing my hair out with the situation, and then stumbled across the ASUS AC300. Was a bit pricey in my opinion, but I was at my wits end so took the plunge.
Took 5 minutes to setup. I downloaded the ap which I must admit is brilliant and made the setup very easy.
Reasons to buy:
1) We get 200mbps direct from the router into a pc via ethernet. Previously download speeds at the furthest point of the house would be 1 or 2mbps via wifi, sometimes zero. I’m now getting over 100mbps in the same place.
2) We have a medium sized house (2 floors, 4 bedrooms). There are zero dead spots now
3) The ap is amazing, you can view all the devices connected to the network, and you can stop internet access at any time for individual devices or owners of the device. Great if the kids have been naughty or need to do their schoolwork
4) The ap also allows you to restrict bandwidth on devices, or set up times of the day when devices can or can’t access the wifi.
5) I no longer need a 30m ethernet cable dangling down the side of the house when I want to do some online pc gaming
It’s only been in place for less than a day, so I hope I don’t get issues and live to regret such a glowing review, phones connect to it and download data no problems, MS teams and zoom calls are working perfectly.
I should point out, that the router I bought (AC3000 one pack) has to be connected to the router/modem that virgin provide. I thought I could relocate this downstairs to boost wifi but it isn’t that sort of device. I believe you can add more devices to create a mesh, if there are dead spots. So far we don’t have any.
It’s basically a router on steroids.
EDIT - I wrote this review after owning the router for a day or so, after 2 months I can say that it's delivered everything above consistently.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 May 2022I had a different mesh system that was giving me a headache!!.. as in it didn't work as expected (poor signal and connectivity)
Purchased these as they were £100 on an offer..
I cant fault them, unboxed them.. connected to my router.. and they just worked... updated to the latest firmware and have had no problems with them (well except DCHP settings (my router was handling this but these come with DCHP turned on..) easy fix... just told them my Router was issuing IP addresses.. and rebooted the Zen Wifi .. took a few mins to re-establish connection with the 2 nodes.. but all worked well
Best thing is each node has 2 1GBIT sockets in it.. so you can have 1 as the backhaul connection (hard wire to the Zen base Router, which suits me perfectly ) you can also connect another rj45 ethernet to the other socket so the Zen Node is a mini ethernet 2 port switch! really useful.. you can also disable the ethernet port and have it as a normal 2 port switch that uses the wifi as the backhaul.
The Main Zen Wifi has 4 ethernet ports.. (one for the internet and 3 for anything else you want to hard wire connect)
I have a 74mbit internet connection.. this mesh handles that with ease.. providing 74mbit on the wifi
The web interface for setup/configuration is excellent and very comprehensive..
You can even connect to Alexa (so you can turn the internet off or disconnect individual devices !!! VERY USEFUL - so many voice commands .. I love this feature..
Pros
• Good Price Point
• 1Gbit ports
• Easy to set up
• Comprehensive setup options
• Alexa Compatible
Cons
• None so far..
Review Update:
Having used this mesh for several months now I can find no real fault with them. They have worked non stop since I purchased them, without any re-boots, just the occasional software update... (which was successful and the nodes all retained their settings.
I have a strong signal all over my house now (45db is the lowest connection!)
Speeds are well within the design specs.. and although this is not WiFi 6 it is sufficient for all my wifi devices (Amazon alexa devices, WiFi Smart home devices - I have over 30 different devices connected, several tablets, 4 laptops, and All work fine.
Very pleased with the product and will be purchasing an additional node to cover my garden area.

1.0 out of 5 stars De ASUS router CT8 is in de fabrieksgarantie periode stuk gegaan en Amazon geeft geen garantie
Size Name: 1 PACK BLACKStyle Name: AC300O Tri Band Mesh 3 + BedroomsVerified PurchaseIk heb de ASUS CT8 zenwifi in oktober 2020 gekocht en de routerfunctie is er spontaan mee gestopt. Er is nog tot juni 2023 fabrieksgarantie maar Amazon geeft maar 2 jaar garantie dus kunnen niets meer voor me doen. Ook ASUS geeft aan niets te kunnen doen aangezien ik het bij Amazon.nl heb gekocht en die wordt in hun ogen gezien als een buitenlandse firma dus Nederlands consumentenrecht is volgens hun niet van toepassing. Heb overal bewijsstukken van en ook van de contacten. Ik ben dus zeer ontevreden over het product aangezien ik verwacht dat een router langer dan 2 jaar en drie maanden mee moet gaan.

2.0 out of 5 stars Je ne suis pas qu'un haineux, hormis ces défauts, il fonctionne
Size Name: 2 PACK BLACKStyle Name: AC300O Tri Band Mesh 4 + BedroomsVerified PurchasePour 350€, je m'attendais à un minimum de professionnalisme et de sérieux. À l'usage, ce produit me semble en fait surtout destiné à une clientèle aisée de boomers newbies sous Android, Ios et Windows. Ce routeur est une vraie galère à configurer lorsque l'on utilise pas ces OS et que l'on souhaite configurer finement son réseau à travers l'interface d'admin complètement pétée que propose Asus.
- Impossible d'installer le routeur sans avoir à disposition un GSM sous Android ou Ios. L'interface d'amin par http n'est accessible qu'une fois cette étape franchie. Et tant pis si vous n'avez pas de smartphone ou que votre smartphone est sous GNU-Linux.
- Les boutons "Apply" sont inutilisables sous Firefox depuis ma Debian 9, ce qui rend l'interface d'administration inutilisable. J'ai du installer Chromium pour contourner ce problème
- Autre défaut très terre à terre : les designers de génie de ce routeur n'ont pas pensé une seconde à mettre en place des encoches pour accrocher ce routeur à un mur. Tant pis pour vous si vous voulez le fixer en mural dans un local technique ou au plus près du faux plafond où vous faites courir vos cables ethernet.
Assez décevant pour un produit dans cette gamme de prix

5.0 out of 5 stars Top. Très satisfait
Size Name: 2 PACK WHITEStyle Name: AC300O Tri Band Mesh 4 + BedroomsVerified Purchasel'installation est très simple, via l'appli. le boitier maitre et ses noeuds se paramètrent tous seuls, pour les paramètres de base. Pour aller plus loin, il faut se connecter sur le site web, dont l'interface est très claire, mais avec des paramétrages plutôt sophistiqué qui s'adressent à des experts réseaux.
Pour le néophyte que je suis, j'ai pu trouver quelques explications sur quelques uns des paramètres, mais l'essentiel reste du chinois. Ca serait bien d'avoir un guide qui indique, pour chaque paramètre, son objet et les choix possibles.
Cela reste un super réseau qui m'a permis de m'affranchir d'obstacles en tous genres dans mon appartement en L, en longueur et avec des murs épais.
