Users can also access a separate Instant Guard app to filter traffic via the router, for security, when browsing using public hotspots. Regularly updated lifetime protection is included. Meanwhile, Asus’ AiProtection Pro (powered by Trend Micro) offers Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) security, WPA3, real-time malware blocking and the usual parental/user controls. Power users and sysadmins will warm to the extensive features accessed via a desktop browser which are also fast to access. The app also enables you to access everything remotely. Setup is simple via the app, which is intuitive and offers excellent monitoring and management tools, including powerful QoS options and a useful Insight tab that offers advice regarding configuration. Next to the secondary node, it scored 609Mbps – just a 3% drop-off and the fastest speed we’ve ever seen from a secondary node! Outside, at the bottom of the garden, however, this dropped to 46.6Mbps, which is still very respectable for a standalone router, but it’s beaten by mesh kits with a third node.īoth towers look impressive with their unique design and glowing graphics. Up close it scored 627Mbps, which is fast but still 100Mbps slower than other top Wi-Fi 6 rivals. We tested next to both nodes and 25m away in the back garden. This involved setting the first node up in the middle room, next to the modem, and the secondary node two rooms away at the front of the house. We ran our usual tests from a Sydney weatherboard cottage.

You can also use Ethernet to create the backhaul and free up one of the 5GHz bands. Past experience tells us that dedicated backhaul links make mesh Wi-Fi much faster. You can set which band acts as a dedicated backhaul link between the nodes or leave it (as we did) set on Auto. It utilises a 2.4GHz band and two 5GHz bands for a theoretical maximum throughput of 11,000Mbps.
