So, while this app is convenient and fun to use, it can cause issues if you mess around too much. AiProtection However, one thing to note is that using the app can inadvertently turn on or off specific settings that could cause the router to behave unexpectedly. In this case, you’ll have to reset the router and set it up from the beginning. Have a look around at the other Wi-Fi 6E equipment on the market with the same sort of power, and you'll notice that devices do need to be rather large to fit everything in. Networking tools: Wake on LAN, Ping, Netstat, and Smart Connect Rule can come in handy for advanced users.

ASUS uses its AiMesh platform with both the ZenWiFi line and its standalone routers. That means you can build a mesh with almost any modern ASUS system.

The new design aside, on the inside, the ZenWiFI Pro ET12, as a single router, is similar to all other Wi-Fi 6 routers from the company.

On the downside, considering the router’s large physical size, I wish it had more network ports — most routers have five ports. There’s no USB port, either, which will make fans of router-based mini NAS servers disappointed. Everything you can expect from an Asus AiMesh router, with pre-synced hardware And there are even more similarities, as you’ll note in the hardware specifications below. Hardware specifications: ZenWiFi Pro XT12 vs ZenWiFi Pro ET12If you like your home networking kit to look like it's been borrowed from the set of the latest Star Wars movie, then you'll love the look of the two units that make up the Asus ZenWiFi Pro ET12. I’ve been testing (and using) the ZenWiFi Pro ET12 for almost a month and, for the most part, am happy with it. I’ll continue to use it and will update this review if I run into anything worth mentioning.
