I've never been completed satisfied with the purchase of my new D-Link router. Skype still doesn't work, and the connection is not stable. I'm not blaming D-Link because I haven't contacted them, and that is stupid. I had hoped that a new firmware would solve my problems, but that hasn't happened yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In one of the many news mails I receive, I found a review of a Netgear mesh system. Of course, it awakens my curiosity, and I start looking into mesh systems in general. Quickly, I find that Netgear systems are expensive if you want new technology. Instead, I find ASUS mesh systems, which cost a third of the Netgear systems, but they still use the newest technologies. Furthermore, I find the ASUS system on sale, and all of a sudden, I find it difficult not to buy a set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I want to get new electronic equipment, I always start by investigating which new technologies would benefit my needs. In regards to wireless systems, I want the newest technology - of course within a reasonable price range. I decided that the wireless mesh system should be Wi-Fi 6 system, and it should be a tri-band system with one 2.4 GHz band and two 5 GHz bands. That way, one 5 GHz band can be used as backhaul between the two devices. I also need the system to be able to create an L2TP connection to a different network. I also want to be able to disable Smart Connect. That way, I can create separate networks for 2.4 and 5 GHz, respectively. The reason for that is that I've experienced devices that are unable to maintain a stable connection with Smart Connect enabled. Finally, I want to be able to connect at least two wired devices to the Wi-Fi nodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ASUS ZenWiFi AX XT8 matches all my demands and then some. The devices are identical, which some reviewers don't like, but I think it's a great idea. It is possible to have multiple internet links connected, and it's even possible to have a 4G dongle connected and use that as, for example, a secondary connection. If you already have your house wired, you can use the wires as backhaul between the nodes. The system also has a built-in security package, which is free, but I haven't tried it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until now, I only have positive things to say about this mesh system. Everything works, and my connection is more stable than with the D-Link router. I still need to explore a couple of things like the security package, but from my point of view, the system is approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
