The ET8 didn't work out for me in my home unfortunately (an old home made of lath & plaster interior construction), as the range of the new 6 GHz band proved to be way too short to make for any kind of reliable backhaul connection between the nodes unless close together. Or even suitable for fronthaul traffic unless the client is in the same room as one of the nodes. Sent it back and went a step down to the XT8 which is performing very well here. ... The 6 GHz band is just not ready for primetime in my view assuming it ever will be. As the FCC has just placed much too heavy power restrictions on the band to adequately offset its greater natural signal attenuation on those higher frequencies to make it comparable with the lower and higher powered 5 GHz band.

Thank you for this, and all of your videos. I find them extremely informative and helpful. Can I ask your opinion on something please? Would there be value in establishing a ET12 as a main router, with two ET8s as nodes? Or just go with ET8s throughout? I don’t think my wife would allow the sky scrapers in common areas… 😂

@landpet 10 ай бұрын

I would just stick with the same, in fact just as a heads up, if you're going ET8, I personally think the XT9 (looks identical to the ET8) is better. I realize the XT9 is wifi 6 when the ET8 if WiFi 6E but from testing both, the XT9 performs better wirelessly. If you're going wired backhaul, there's not much difference between the two.

@Mhosborn 2 жыл бұрын

If these WiFi 6E systems are using the 6GHz channel for backhaul, doesn't the short range of that frequency limit how far apart the nodes can be? Wouldn't they have to be closer together than with a system using the 5GHz channel for backhaul?

@landpet 2 жыл бұрын

Excellent question, the short answer is yes but it might not matter. The long answer is, well it depends since they really shouldn't be more than 50 ft apart which 6GHz can handle. Now let's add into the fact that if someone is living in more of a congested area (which may not be the case), like a building, well chances are the neighbors have routers with 5GHz becoming very common. So now there's more of a chance the 5GHz might struggle a bit (even though there are different channels) compared to a 6GHz band which most people don't have now since it's fairly new tech, aka the 6GHz is wide open besides the fact it can tolerate faster speeds.

The 1 gb ports can be used for other devices like my Shield TV and printer. I plan to run an OPNsense router/FW that has 2.5 GB ports.

@landpet 2 жыл бұрын

Yes the ET8 will work with the RT68U but it's not something I recommend off the bat since the ET8 using the 6 GHz as the backhaul and the 68U doesn't have 6GHz. So the ET8 would need to use the 5GHz for backhaul which I don't even know how and if it supports that (in theory it should since it's AiMesh compatible). I don't recommend mixing old and new technology as the new device can only go as fast as the old device. If you did decide to go this route, I would make the ET8 the main router and have the RT68U be the secondary nodes. I recommend using your best router as the main router.

As for the 2.5G ports, yes, two ports would be nice. I have gotten around that by getting a couple of TRENDnet 2.5G switches which gives me more than enough 2.5G ports. As for the looks of the units. I guess if you like looking at your router than the more expensive unit looks better. But frankly, IMO the best router is the one that is the least visible. Smaller is better IMO.

I’ve tried once and yes they can be reached via phone but it’s just for basic troubleshooting.

I have to ask: 1) were you using a 2.5 modern 2) what category of cable were you using? using a cat 8 cable with a 2.5 modem vs using a 1ghz modem with a cat 5 cable will differ on speed and signal strength.

My internet is limited to less than gigabit. I have an ONT. I'm using cat 7 cables.

ET8 is definitely not 5500

Those prices need to come way down.

Asus ET8 has too many disconnects, I truly believe it’s a hardware issues since so many people complain about it . ASUS has already discontinued it.

People have been asking for it so I did it but I do agree, it's more of what's the difference you're getting for so might more

Any wifi now in the world is too slow, bullshit network now. I'm waiting the wifi8 or wifi 9, must reach at least 1GBps (GigaByte/s, NOT gigabit) download and upload.

Yup, the capital letter B refers to bytes vs lowercase b refers to bits. 1 byte = 8 bits.
