That said, I researched the heck out of wifi systems before making my purchase and, in general, it doesn't seem to make sense to buy a wifi 6 system when there are wifi 6e and 7 systems out there. 6e and 7 are more future-proofed than 6 (the main difference being that wifi 6e can intelligently switch your device connections between 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz on the fly as needed, whereas wifi 6 cannot). The only other concern I read about Asus' ZenWifi systems is that you cannot truly add additional nodes to the system, if you even need it, unless you daisychain the additional satellites to the first satellite (I think one article even said it had to be a hardwired connection, but my memory could be wrong). I can't confirm that since our current Asus system completely covers our entire house with the included router + one satellite.
If you can afford it, I'd recommend the XT12 Pro over the XT9 -- simply because the XT12 Pro is a wifi 6e system and this system is wifi 6. I know the XT12 was on sale on Amazon for the longest time and might still be. Not $180 cheap but still a great buy, IMO.
