The ZenWiFi BT6 is the entry point for Asus’ tri-band Wi-Fi 7 routers, with the 2-pack covering up to 5,800 square feet. The mesh system supports up to 9.4 Gbps (688 Mbps at 2.4 GHz, 2,882 Mbps at 5 GHz, and 5,762 Mbps at 6 GHz). Each wireless node includes a single 2.5 GbE WAN port, three GbE LAN ports, and a single USB 3.0 port.

Asus brings performance to the table with its ZenWiFi BT10 mesh system. It includes two wireless nodes, each with dual 10 GbE LAN/WAN ports onboard and tri-band Wi-Fi 7 support.
The ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro is the flagship mesh router from Asus, offering 30 Gbps wireless speeds across quad bands. You'll also find a healthy selection of 10 GbE ports.
Going even further up the Asus Wi-Fi 7 mesh ladder brings you to the ZenWiFi BT10 , priced at $579.99 (16% off) for the 2-pack, which steps up cumulative speeds to 18 Gbps and brings total coverage to 6,000 feet . This time around, the 5 GHz and 6 GHz radios jump to a 4×4 arrangement, delivering up to 5,764 Mbps and 11,529 Mbps, respectively. The number of onboard ports has declined, though you do get a 10 GbE WAN, 10 GbE LAN, a single GbE LAN, and a USB 3.0 port.
Finally, for those needing the ultimate in speed and flexibility, there’s the ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro . It’s available with a 16% discount, bringing the 2-pack down to $928.99 instead of $1,099 . This mesh system has all the bells and whistles, including enough power to cover up to 8,000 square feet. It’s also a quad-band system (it has two 6 GHz bands), with all radios operating at 4×4, supporting up to 30 Gbps. This means that the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 6 GHz-1, and 6 GHz-2 max out at 1,376 Mbps, 5,764 Mbps, 11,529 Mbps, and 11,529 Mbps, respectively.
Asus also didn’t skimp on the ports, as you’ll find a 10 GbE WAN/LAN, 10 GbE LAN, GbE WAN/LAN, two GbE LAN, and a USB 3.0 port.
All of the ZenWiFi routers run Asus’ excellent AsusWRT software, which is highly configurable and includes built-in malware protection and device management (something that Netgear and TP-Link charge you extra for). The routers can also use their USB ports for storage or to connect to a cellular internet connection via a USB 4G/5G dongle or a smartphone.
These deals aren’t likely to last long, so strike while the iron is hot.
