New 6 GHz Band for Stable Backhaul
5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands are getting more and more crowded with the growing number of home devices. The new 6 GHz band is reserved exclusively for Wi-Fi 6E devices, so there's no interference from other legacy devices. This makes it ideal for use as a stable backhaul connection.** 5 GHz backhaul can also be used, but ASUS recommends using 6 GHz.

Smart & Flexible Backhaul Configuration
ASUS ZenWiFi ET8 gives you flexible backhaul options: 6 GHz or 5 GHz wireless, and Ethernet. The router intelligently chooses the most reliable method for you, based on connection quality. If you prefer, you can also manually choose the type of backhaul connection..jpg)

Wi-Fi 6E Boosts Maximum Capacity
Wi-Fi 6E provides seven extra 160 MHz channels to meet the growing needs of home devices.* There's no need for DFS on 6 GHz band, so your Wi-Fi 6E devices can enjoy immediate zero-wait connections. ZenWiFi ET8 is also fully compatible with all your existing Wi-Fi devices, so you can use it right now.* Subject to regulatory limitations, and co-existence with 5 GHz Wi-Fi. Number of channels may be less than seven.
Wi-Fi 6E
Put Your Wi-Fi into Top Gear!
With a total bandwidth of up to of 6600 Mbps, ZenWiFi ET8 is up to 2.2X faster* than tri-band AC3000 (Wi-Fi 5) routers **.
* Compatible Wi-Fi 6E device required.
** The data compares speed of 4x4 Wi-Fi 6E on 6 GHz 160 MHz bandwidth with 1024QAM modulation to speed of 4x4 11ac on 5 GHz 80 MHz with 256QAM modulation.
