I posted this deal but I don't own it. I'm biased towards Asus because I think they're better about updating firmware than inexpensive brands like TP-Link. Consumer Reports has this model on their recommended list.
Asus networking products for consumers are best for typically very good hardware build and more importantly is, high quality software support. The negative is their quality costs money.
I used a pair of the XT9 routers (sibling of these) for almost a year while renting and they only required one reboot. They were paired out of the box and easy enough to set up, plus they are feature-packed for a consumer device as others have noted here. I relied on reviews of the two on Dong Knows Tech and decided on XT9 (vs. these ET9) as they were a bit better with performance on a wireless backhaul vs. the ET9 was a tad better on wired backhaul. I've forgotten the details, but I'm sure these will do just as well for most folks. I'm on to Ubiquiti now that I own a home that's wired up but would still be using this family of products if not.

The Asus BD4 is a better buy IMO. Dual band but WiFi 7 which supports WPA3. And it's $50 less with dual 2.5G ports. https://a.co/d/epsQwpY
No it's not a better buy in my opinion because the "D" in the model number BD4 means it's a dual band Asus router so it's missing the 6GHz band which offers significantly faster speeds, lower latency, and less congestion compared to the older 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. I'd definitely pay extra for a Wi-Fi 6e or 7 router with all 3 bands. This article covers the confusion with dual band Wi-Fi 7 routers. https://www.tomsguide.com/computi...e-to-blame

If you're like me and in a standalone home with neighbors a good distance away and have 2.5GBE+ ethernet access throughout, dual-band is fine. Sure, there may instances where the bandwidth of the combined frequencies will exceed anything dual band, but unless you'd got crazy fast fiber or need insane LAN speeds, either dual or tri will be great.
That's also a dual band router with only a $50 discount off it's regular price.
I saw your other response to me, which you made a fair point. I've been using my Netgear Orbi RBK53S 3 pack for 7+ years, so I don't upgrade that often, and therefore, I'm willing to spend extra to have the 6 Ghz band. I also don't have the need for multiple LAN ports faster than gigabit. When I finally pull the trigger on one these Asus routers, it will either be this ET9, BT8, or BT10 3 pack. Of course, the BT8 and BT10 are significantly more expensive because they're tri-band Wi-Fi 7 routers.

I have the same rbk, I just pull the trigger today on this. All the speed is doubled at least.
I had to return my 3 pack of et9s as I got too many issues of nodes randomly rebooting. Looks like the firmware still hasn't been updated on the version I was using. It's too bad because when it worked it worked great with the 6ghz backhaul having what appeared to be very similar range to my prev 5ghz orbi backhaul which I reverted back to. Great web interface and options, just not stable enough and the nodes constantly want to roam into worse backhaul configurations even after turning off the roaming assistant on all bands. The 2 satellite nodes refuse to stay connected in series and always try to connect directly to the router even if the connection is terrible.

I also follow Dong Knows Tech for his solid expertise. Congratulations on living in a wired up house. We're in a 30 year old house n hoping for a renovation to be able to sensibly update wiring infrastructure.

Not too bad of a deal. I got the XT9 2-pack deal from Best Buy last month and have been really happy with them. We live in a 2200sqft 108 year old house with 3 floors. Initially had an AC86U running on the first floor in the front of the house and it was able to provide coverage for pretty much all of the house except things got dicey in the backyard and the back room on the 3rd floor.
The 2.4GHz radio died on the AC86U so I bought the AX86U which did not perform as well as the AC86U. It was definitely a lot less stable and required reboots more often than I would like with about 35 devices on the network. Saw the deal for the XT9s and ditched the AX86U and was very happy until a couple of weeks ago. Found out in the forums it could be the Trend Micro AI protection. I had already turned that off but found out that you also need to withdraw your consent to using the service to fully stop it from running processes.
Once I withdrew my consent the router and mesh unit have been rock solid. Since this is an old house, it is not wired with ethernet(still has knob and tube on the 3rd floor) so I need to use the 2nd 5GHz radio for the backhaul. Since these are a step up I'd imagine they would be just as good.
For those saying you should go 6E or 7, I'd say take a look at this article from Dong Knows. I was in the same mind but he made some great points on going with 6 instead since I wasn't going to be able to use the 6GHz radio with 6E(damn horsehair plaster walls) and 7 is damn expensive. https://dongknows.com/get-a-wi-fi...-be-happy/
