ASUS ZenWiFi BT8 (3-Pack) Tri-Band WiFi 7 Mesh, 14 Gbps, 8850 sq.ft, Dual 2.5G Ports, Security and Parental Controls Included, Smart Home Master SSIDs, 4G & 5G Mobile Tethering

ASUS ZenWiFi – A Seamless Upgrade for Better Coverage and Speed!!! After experiencing persistent dead zones throughout my home with a single router, I decided to upgrade to the ASUS ZenWiFi system. With a growing number of smart devices, my previous setup simply couldn’t keep up. From the moment I installed this system, the difference was clear.... Effortless Setup The installation process was simple and intuitive. I powered on both units in the same room, connected the main unit to my AT&T fiber modem, and completed the setup through the mobile app. Within minutes, everything was fully operational—no technical headaches. Strong Signal, Sleek Design Despite my home being a modest 1,500 sq ft, I now have strong, reliable WiFi in every room. The system’s sleek, compact design fits discreetly into any space without being intrusive. Fast and Stable Performance Speeds consistently range from 800 to 900 Mbps, depending on the room. More importantly, the connection is stable—I no longer deal with frustrating resets or dropouts. Subtle, Yet Significant Impact This upgrade quietly transformed my daily experience with WiFi. There’s no fanfare—just consistent performance, broad coverage, and a smoother online experience across all our devices.

The ASUS BE14000 is an impressive WiFi 7 mesh system that brings high-speed, seamless connectivity at a great price. It’s perfect for smart homes, large families, and gamers. Setup is quick and easy using the ASUS router app—just plug in a node, scan the QR code, and follow the steps. No need for technical knowledge. Pros: -Great coverage up to 8,000 sq. ft. -MLO support for better speed and stability -Fast, app-based setup -Handles up to 200 devices -Great for gaming, streaming, and smart homes Cons: -No 10G port, which limits future-proofing slightly Overall, it may not have every premium feature, but for the price, it delivers fantastic performance, coverage, and ease of use. It’s a solid choice for most households.

Update: Upgrading rating from 1 star to 4 stars. At some point in the past year, the firmware was updated so that the product works as expected. There is no longer a need for the kluge described below to attain the advertised speeds. The routers are fast and reliable and give good coverage over the entire house. Original review: The firmware for the BT8 is not ready for primetime yet. You will either get a brilliant connection to your ISP router or you will get garbage. I have a gigabit internet connection. I previously ran an ASUS RT-AX1800S Dual Band WiFi 6 router and got the around 950 Mbps up an down when connected by wired ethernet and far less when connected wirelessly. I had a ASUS RP-AX58 AX3000 Dual Band WiFi 6 (802.11ax) Range Extender to extend wireless coverage over the far side of my long house. When the extender stopped working (no good reason), I purchased the ASUS ZenWiFi BT8 (3-Pack) Tri-Band WiFi 7 Mesh to get more reliable coverage. After I ran through the setup process including firmware upgrades, I found I got around 950 Mbps download speeds but only 2 Mbps upload. That's a pretty big gap. I'm an IT Professional, so I did all the things you're supposed to do to troubleshoot something like that. Then I got on with Asus support and did it all again, plus some other things that were so ridiculous I would have been angry if they worked. They didn't. Support said they would escalate with their support team and get back to me later if they found anything. I went through the process of reverting back to my old ASUS router with the connection provided by my ISP and found I still had gigabit speeds. Then I had the idea to plug the wan port of the BT8 router into the Lan port of the old ASUS router. Now I got 100 Mbps up and down on the BT8 system. That told me the WAN port hardware was capable but the firmware was incapable of correctly matching the port speed. I also had an old Netgear 5 port unmanaged gigbit switch lying around. I swapped out the ASUS RT-AX1800S and put that between the ISP gateway and the BT8. Now I had gigabit speeds up and down on the BT8. This confirms that the hardware is capable but the firmware is faulty. You shouldn't have to put 8 year old equipment between the BT8 and the ISP Gateway to get advertised speed. This is all to say that depending on the equipment provided by your ISP you may get a perfect connection or you may get garbage. The fact that the BT8 couldn't even reach 10% of the full speed when connected to another ASUS device should tell you everything you need to know about the quality assurance and testing they do with their products. I am going to give them a week or so to put out a firmware upgrade that fixes the problem but then I am returning it as defective before the exchange period ends. I am not eager to buy a Chinese router or a router that requires a subscription, so I hope they can get it together before then. This is supposed to be a plug and play consumer product, you shouldn't need to be an IT Professional with surplus network equipment lying around the house to get it to work properly.

Update as of 9/24/25. I lost my cell phone and had to download the Asus app again. Could not remember my password, and the only option is to factory reset my password. That's just not acceptable, why use an app at all? Updating this review on 9/21/2025. After using the router for 2 months, this router does not work for me. I have taken the time to update drivers on my laptop and I have a brand-new Android S24. The internet connection is still sketchy with some apps timing out because connection is slow or stops. TV's frequently are unable to connect with Netflix. I have also not been able to get my Arlo Door-cam to connect to the router. ITs an expensive router, and not very good. I am going back to Netgear products. They have always been bulletproof. I have a ~1800 square foot ranch house. Everything is on one level. The house has a basement, and I mounted A Netgear R6400 router just about dead center of the house, it was mounted to the floor joists. This setup worked very well. Solid signal throughout the house and even out on the patio in the backyard. I finished the basement and had to move the netgear router maybe 2 feet off center, but those 2 feet caused it to sit on the wrong side of a wood beam and my signal out on the patio tanked. I bought this Asus ZenWifi BT8 figuring it might perform better than the old router which was 5+ years old. It does not. Not only does it not cover the space any better, but all of my device's experience glitches using the internet. Pages will just stall to load. The installation directions state clearly that you may need to update your device drivers to something that supports WIFI 7. I did not update the drivers, because I saw no benefit to the solution. So I am going back to the old router and adding a netgear extender to cover the patio. Even when the devices are not glitching out, the throughput is nothing better than I had with the netgear. My message here... Unless you are prepared to take a chance updating the device drivers to something that supports WIFI 7, this device is not worth the price. There was no performance gain experienced, and I have yet to be successful connecting my Ring Camera to the network since the move to Asus.

everything works perfectly now. **Pros** -Looks great and blends into most home decoration -Has 4 ethernet ports with one 2.5G WAN and one 2.5G LAN -Super easy to install with the ASUS router app -The app automatically optimizes my network, and it does so quickly -No more dropped signals at all -Impressive range, I get Wi-Fi both indoors and outside in my yard -Easy to expand by adding more units—these have 4 ethernet ports and give a nice boost to speed -It seamlessly switches between routers and extenders as I move around **Cons** -None so far. I’m very happy with this purchase!

Is it fast? Sure. Unfortunately, I don't care about having a bit more speed if the connections aren't stable. I upgraded from an older wifi 6 2-piece system to this, and the dropouts for my cameras and PS5 increased at least 10 fold. I went from every few days of a camera losing signal for no more than 30 minutes to daily dropouts lasting over 6 hours. I'd recommending waiting a few more years for these wifi 7 systems to mature.

Effortless set up. It is my main router connected with a 2.5G backhaul Ethernet cable to my BT6. For me it is a really user friendly interface. No dead spots in my house anymore. I actually had to turn down the transmit power as it was overpowering everything to clean up the signal and got even faster speeds. No issues with dropped connections. Just be sure to update the firmware on the main router and Node as it appears to have fixed some earlier issues. I highly recommend it.

Used to run asus routers, loved them then jumped to another brand for mesh as asus's offerings weren't strong yet. That router went end of life so back to alot of researching. My gripe with how the router market has developed is that they have either dumbed down all the admin features so you don't have many choices (or only make available in their business models for another $1,000), or make you pay subscription for basic firewall capability, or are made by a Chinese company where you may get some features you don't want (backdoors). Well, after researching Asus's offerings for mesh have matured a lot, and their philosophy to let you admin stuff the way you want hasn't (good thing) while not charging you for firewall and security protection built in. Yeah, it may be a more expensive product than others but do the match on that subscription or having to buy a firewall to put in front of it and its a deal. Anyhow, setup was super smooth. Performance is delightful. Speed is super fast and very stable. Note, I have two levels, basement, storage, and 2 foot thick brick walls that my last mesh router hlcould barely give me a signal through (getting 200 maps in my "bad spots now). The freedom only admin controls also means I can create segments, manually prioritize, create white lists, and not only have an iot network but choose which satellite and band they connect to (others force this and created so many headaches and security issues). I stretched my budget on this but given i rely on this and generally keep my routers until end of life, this wifi 7 router is pretty cheap after I do the math per year compared to competing models with a cheaper up front cost but more expensive size in long run that limit function. Anyhow, super happy. Happy to be back at Asus.

Excellent system. I have been running this system for about 2 weeks and haven't experienced any software/firmware issues that apparently plagued asus bt series routers when they were first released a year and a half ago or so. This system has eliminated all dead spots in the house and the speeds are incredibly fast using wireless backhaul. I highly recommend.

Great system, moving from an Orbi RBK852 system that we've had for a while, but struggled with reliable hand-off of my iPhone as well as some dead zones. System was a bit laggy and unreliable in the beginning as in some of the other reviews. That said, once we got the ethernet backhaul connected (home is wired with cat5E) in a start topology (series would probably be fine as well), turned on ethernet backhaul mode on, and QoS for gaming or work from home, the system has been great, reliable, with good speeds, connection, and reasonable range. We have a total of 4 of these units to cover our home. App is easy to use, and web interface has oodles of configuration options for pro users. Strongly recommend, specially for those comfortable with network tech (or has a friend who is)

المنتج WiFi 7 | BE14000 الى الان ممتاز ولازال تحت التجربة. والتغطية واسعة. وللمعلومية البائع ذكر انها عبوة والعبوة تتكون من قطعتين. لاتغلط نفس غلطي وتحسب انها قطعه واحدة وتاخذ ثنتين وتجيك 4 قطع

Très bon produit ce n'est pas mes premiers que j'achète pour avoir une meilleure qualité de conection

This Router works very well. Very stable with excellent wifi on 2.4 and 5 Ghz bands with wifi7 protocol enabled. 6 Ghz band is very fast in short ranges (< 50 feet) but I noticed that this band has limited range before it weakens and becomes unusable. Lots of useful features otherwise.
