3-Pack ASUS ZenWiFi AX1800 AiMesh WiFi 6 System (White) Expired

Good price on a good solid dual band system which comes with limited real time protection and parental control, but unfortunately this is a router and 2 node setup, so you cant sell the unused node if you don't need all 3 and speeds will be drastically reduced at the nodes compared to the devices on the router. For anyone who has up to 500Mb internet this will work extremely well for, anyone over that you will see some



Yes it will work without a problem, the main router can take full advantage of your 500Mb fiber but the nodes will not they will be limited to anywhere between 200-300Mb to a single device but that should be plenty for most people. If you hardwire them all to each other it will increase the speeds on the nodes. If you leave them purely wireless expect the above speeds.

It's not about preserving speeds, it's that the tri band uses that other band to send the wireless signals to each other. Whereas with dual band, it doesn't have that free band and must use one of the 2 bands to send each other that information.

Your optimal setup is:

A - if you can connect units to each other via wires, dual band is totally fine and great (especially due to price point)

B - if you need the satellite units to connect wirelessly (because you cant connect them to each other with a wire), then tri-band is your ideal system so they can dedicate the extra band to wirelessly transmit to each other
