About ASUS ZenWiFi AX Mini (XD5) Dual-band Whole Home Mesh WiFi System
Overall Feedback:
70% positive
72% praised the intuitive app, but 28% struggled
I like that the router has both web and app access and works great. However, there were some issues with assigning icons to devices on the network.
The app provided through the QR code did not provide the seamless set-up I expected.
84% praised the coverage area, but 16% found dead spots
I am impressed with the excellent coverage in my house using three nodes. The distance each node covers and the seamless transfer of devices from one node to another is remarkable.
I found the product easy to install and it provided maximum coverage throughout my home.
I highly recommend this product for rock solid coverage across your home.
I expected overlapping coverage to be beneficial, but the nodes did not daisy chain to create better areas of overlap. Also, connected devices were reluctant to switch from one node to another automatically.
86% liked the customizable settings, yet 14% found them limited
I found the directions clear and opted for using a laptop and web page instead of the phone app for faster setup.
I have worked with other mesh networks, including professional grade ones, but many have horrible UIs for modifying settings.
I found a way to bind a device to a particular node in the mesh, but the AI ignored it and selected a different route, resulting in poor connectivity.
76% found it easy to set up
I have given top marks for the easy setup and excellent service of the mesh system.
Following the quick start directions, specifically placing all nodes within 3 meters of each other, will result in an easy setup.
Setting up the router was very easy.
Setting up was very easy and the app works well in controlling every aspect or leaving it be.
