The two boxes connect via Asus AiMesh, which means this system is a true mesh configuration, and additional units can be added as needed, including other Asus gear such as many older routers, although we consider it a miss that the two boxes did not come preconfigured out of the box. We appreciate that each box has four LAN ports, and two USB ports, as well as the four foldable antennas. The Asus AiMesh AX6100 WiFi System struck as right away as a pair of the cutest boxes, being smaller in size, and kind of a ‘Mini me’ of the Asus ROG line of routers. Well, after we have made requests to more than one manufacturer for a truly gaming mesh kit, the call has been finally answered by Asus, and a tradeoff does not have to be made any longer.
BEST MESH ROUTER SYSTEM FULL
However, for gamers, if you needed a mesh kit to get full coverage for a larger area, the sacrifice is that the game prioritization is simply not as strong, and this has been repeatedly confirmed in our testing. Let’s face it, there has been no shortage of excellent gaming routers, and plenty of good mesh kits. Sound like this can become a wireless mess with nothing consistently connecting as you go from one floor of the house to the next? Well then, this is the situation that a mesh network can solve, with all the hardware prepackaged in a nice box, with simple directions and a neat smartphone app to manage everything. In addition, such a setup quickly becomes complex to administer, with the dreaded issue of wireless handoffs between multiple devices, each with the further potential of multiple SSID’s. While such devices promised to fix the wireless dead spots such as a basement, or the deck outside, the issue was that the additional gear was sold à la carte, required an intermediate level or higher of DIY networking knowledge and planning. There has certainly been networking gear available to deal with Wi-Fi signal dropouts, taking the form of additional access points and wireless extenders. They're a decent alternative to our best gaming routers, if you need the spotless coverage.
BEST MESH ROUTER SYSTEM SERIES
Rather than just use a single router to provide Wi-Fi coverage for the home which can lead to Wi-Fi deadspots, in a wireless mesh setup, a series of devices, typically two to three, will blanket the home from corner to corner with its wireless signal, covering every nook, cranny and closet-or at least the theory goes.
Once the newest kids on the networking block, mesh routers have matured to their own category in the residential networking market.
