Review Summary
2024-07-23T20:00:00
I bought a CT9 2-pack to replace an older Orbi mesh router. I really liked the Orbi, but felt they are a bit over-priced, so thought I would give ASUS a try. A breeze to setup. Smaller than I thought, which is good. I also like that it came in black, which blends in a bit better. So far, no problems reaching all parts of my 3 floor house with tons of devices attached. Happy with my decision!

Best Mesh Network I've used or set up. Doesn't eat much food, is very quiet and helps around the house.

Strong and reliable wifi for the whole home. May not support the bleeding edge of wifi tech but it's not like I need that anyway
