I have a pair of these in a wired backhaul configuration and absolutely love them. Much better signal strength than my prior Orbi RBK53 setup I switched from. So far, not a single connection issue.

While this is a great price, even without the gift card, be aware of Neweggs no return - no exchange policy on this item. Caveat emptor.

As an FYI it's currently available for $299.99 from Amazon.

I would wait for Wi-Fi sixE before dumping money into this kind of crap. ASUS 86u mesh works great for now

The surprising answer is yes, the older clients still get benefits of speed increases and better connections. This was proven by multiple testers using wifi 6 AP's and comparing results to their previous wifi 5 AP's with an older client. While you wont hit speeds 700Mbps+ you will more consistently get speeds closer to the 500Mbps top range of wifi 5 when using a wifi 6 router or access point. That is off course using a 3x3 wifi 5 client and on the 5ghz band. The 2.4Ghz also sees increases as I mentioned in the previous response, prior to wifi 6 most 2.4ghz speeds never really got over 90 Mbps consistently with wifi 6 those same 2.4ghz clients have been able to hit around 170Mbps on the top end.

The point of getting the AX wifi 6 clients is to more consistently get those 600-700Mbps speeds while some router and mesh systems on the high end are able to get around 1.4Gbps which means over wifi you can utilize a full 1Gbps fiber line without a Ethernet cable and still have extra room.

Might check out the Deco X60 (AX3000). 3-pack for less than the price of this. I have zero issues with mine (all wired).

Is this part of the Bill Gates 5G conspiracy to track and monitor us?

If so, I'm in for 2!

Great price, I needed these but couldn't wait so I bought the Zen Mini 3-pack (1 router, 2 extenders) for about $220 and I am still very happy. The biggest gain on this model is, the wired backhaul, and triband vs dualband. The best part of either is that ASUS does not require the BS subscription model that ORBI and EEVO require… and you get ALL the features not some stripped down version (on both). This model has a few features over the mini, but they both have the most popular ones like VPN, Alexa, IFFT, port reservation, parental control, and built-in free security subscription (for life) amoung tons of others. ASUS site has a great tool to compare thier models and worth checking out before taking the plunge.

It's even replaced my quirky old (per device setup) VPN work extraordinarily well across all the devices on my LAN…so no mire crappy apps for me. I should mention I am not sure yet how/if the kill switch works if the VPN goes down, but I *think* you just get a lack of connection, but again, not sure.

I am still in the Holiday return window so I might return and upgrade, but not sure as I am really happy with the ZEN mini.


EDIT: Seems neither has 6E so I removed that info.

I have the ax6600 version and it's been great. Also separates the 2.4 and 5ghz bands for easier connection to smart devices. I added an Asus blue cave router as another satellite. I will be back haul wiring the router and satellite to help with the signal even though I currently don't need to.

Very well reviewed system. With pure wireless setup the system tops out around 850Mbps at the main router and around 700Mbps on the satellites. While not the fastest its a great mesh set for people who like to tinker and customize as the Asus firmware is very robust compared to Netgear and TP-Link.

People really hype up dual band vs triband, but with how fast AX Wifi 6 is for almost 90% of households unless major environmental issues dual band will work like a charm, thats with using the systems purely wireless.

Wifi 6 in general, does not matter if its dual band or triband will be about 200 Mbps faster on average than anything wifi 5 has. Wifi 5 on wireless tops out at around 550Mbps while wifi 6 unless you have a really really entry level router starts around 600Mbps and only goes up from there. You off course need to see an AX client to see the benefits, passively wifi 6 helps the 2.4ghz and makes it a bit speedier, some clients able to pull around 140-160Mbps on the top end, which is great for longer range and older networks.

To answer your question on the X60 vs RBK50 you will get about an extra 150Mbps out of the X60 on the high end since it hits around 700Mbps at the main router, and it can hold speeds up to 400Mbps even at a good distance. The only downside is the satellites will all average around 400Mbps on the high end and at a distance top out around 150-200Mbps. Which means the triband RBK50 at the satellites can at times be right around the same speed or even slightly faster since its using its 3rd band for independent backhaul. If you were to wire the X60 satellites the speeds would shoot up to just slightly slower than the main unit, on average around 50/100 Mbps slower than the main routing unit, if you were to hardwire.

To put it all in perspective the system is still fast enough without hardwire to handle anything anyone is going to use the internet for and then some.

oh my gosh thank you so much for your quick and detailed reply
So i will keep my rbk 50 without upgrading to deco x60 then​
