This is true, and good for prospective buyers to consider the upgrade to ET8. I own both models, and have had zero problems in about 3 years with the RT AX92U.

A wired backhaul was not in the cards in our new house, and we've noticed that the WiFi 6 makes a difference in a 3000sq ft space. We had dead spots, upgraded to the ET8 and no deadspots using just two of the more recent ET8 and the Wifi 6 they afford. Now we use the AX92U as nodes in the mesh.

I can attest to these being fairly easy to set up, and the GUI on the backend is user-friendly enough that I'm able to do some cool things that would otherwise feel beyond my technical comfort zone. Both models were great investments, and it was nice to be able to still use the AX92U in my mesh even after I upgraded to ET8.

Got this a week or so ago, it's worked pretty great with our new gigabit fiber. Our house is about 2500 SQ feet so not too big, but the range is more than we really need - one would probably cover the whole house. Wired backhaul does really help, though apparently there is a way to turn the WiFi 6 into a non-dedicated backhaul so you could theoretically use it wirelessly (can't vouch for how well it'd work). Dong Knows Tech reviewed it really well and he mentions it there if you want to know more: https://dongknows.com/asus-rt-ax92u-review/

I think it's particularly worth it compared to TP Link and other models in a similar price range - ASUS includes their full security and parental control suite with the router, no subscription necessary (unlike TP Link). Seems like a really good mesh for a small to medium house, no complaints so far.

You'll only be able to get WiFi 6 if you use this in a wired backhaul environment otherwise it'll use the WiFi 6 for wireless backhaul with no way to change it. Top notch stuff though
I don't understand. Are you saying you can only get Wifi6 speeds as purely wired or purely wireless? Your statement initially sounds like Wifi 6 needs to be wired, but then you say it works wireless too.

I think what he means is that you only have access to the 2nd 5ghz band if you use an Ethernet backhaul between the node and the router… otherwise that 2nd 5ghz band is dedicated to backhaul

Had two of these in mesh for more than two years. One in the basement, one on the top floor of our house. Great coverage. Great speeds. Never have to reboot. It can run a little warm if you're pushing lots of bandwidth through it, but I have a small fan blowing on one to keep it cool.

I have north of 50 connected devices. Handles them like a champ.

I have a hardwire backhaul of sorts.

In basement: cable modem —> router —> switch —> Ethernet wall run —> switch in livingroom —> livingroom MoCA adapter —> upstairs bedroom MoCA adapter —> satellite router.

I didn't see the TP Link deal in question, but ASUS typically have more reliable hardware.

Not true I set this up for my parents recently. You can set the WiFi 6 to allow regular clients to connect.

On the 1 hand, I really want a mesh system. On the other, I refuse to give money to Newegg.

so you guys get wi-fi 6 routers and then connect them with ethernet cable? Nice move if you ask me.
To free up the fastest ax band for for clients and not backhaul between router.
