Nice Addition For Outdoor Use

Nice outdoor addition to an existing ASUS ZenWiFi AiMesh system using a combination of ASUS GT-BE98 Pro router with ZenWifi BT6 and BT8 AiMesh nodes. Now my backyard has good WiFi coverage.

Out of Date?

I tried to by the most up to date outdoor ZenWifi and when I install it I'm instantly told it is out of date and may degrade my overall service. Not the best experience. I bought it from my account, wouldn't you think there could be some guidance???

Disappointed

Three BD5 outdoor router worked fine for one month. Then, it's signal weakened to the point that items more than a few feet away would not stay connected. After hours troubleshooting and two lengthy calls with support, nothing has changed. A third call was supposed to happen days ago. Nothing. I'm disappointed in the product at this point and even more disappointed in ASUS support.

Dear Dave Seder, Thank you for your comment. We do understand your disappointment and the inconvenience this may have caused if you started experiencing weak wireless signal after a month of usage. To resolve this issue, perform a power cycles on the router and your ISP's modem fora couple of minutes. Power on all devices, thereafter check if the security credentials on these router matches with your ISP's modem security information and check if your ISP's internet services or connection is working properly or stable. Also, we recommend updating the Mesh routers' firmware if running with an older version.
