ASUS ZenWiFi BT8 review

The ZenWiFi BT8 is the strongest pick here for buyers who want tri-band Wi-Fi 7 with the 6 GHz band and do not want to pay for a security subscription. The ASUS US store lists tri-band Wi-Fi 7 speeds up to 14 Gbps with 6 GHz Wi-Fi, MLO and 4K-QAM, and AiMesh coverage up to 5,900 sq. ft. for a 2-pack. Dual 2.5G Ethernet ports allow wired backhaul, AiProtection Pro and VPN features are built in, and 4G LTE or 5G phone tethering can keep the network online when the main line drops. The store showed a starting price of $329.99 with a 3-year manufacturer warranty. ASUS exposes many router settings, which suits buyers who like to tune their network but takes more time than eero or Google. Check which pack the configurator selects, because the store lists a starting price rather than a fixed 2-pack price. We compared documented features and published prices only.
