Amazon is now offering the ASUS ZenWiFi ET8 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6E Mesh System 2-pack for $309.99 shipped after clipping the on-page coupon. Normally going for $400, this 23% discount or solid $90 price drop marks a new all-time low price we’ve tracked, beating our previous mention by $90. Covering up to 5,500-square feet across two mesh units, the ASUS ZenWiFi ET8 system utilizes the Wi-Fi 6E standard for the new 6GHz band working with the typical 5 and 2.4GHz radios as well. You will be able to remotely manage your mesh network through the ASUS Router app as well as perform the initial setup. The separate bands this router works with can have unique SSIDs or one to cover all of them for a unified network with Alexa and IFTTT integrations allowing for additional network controls such as turning on the guest Wi-Fi with a voice command. Head below for more.
One of the unique features of many ASUS routers, including the mesh system above, is the AiMesh system which allows different routers to work together to form a mesh network. So even if you don’t have the cash to grab a mesh setup right now, you could pick up the ASUS AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 Dual-Band Gigabit Router for $90 and later expand its coverage with the AiMesh system. This ASUS router option uses Wi-Fi 6 to improve wireless network throughput while also reducing latency for a better mobile experience. You’ll have up to 3,500-square feet of coverage with this unit with the same router mobile app making setup and network management simple.
