The company has introduced three new
ZenWiFi devices at CES, and the first one to be unveiled was the ZenWiFi AX
Wi-Fi system. The router is capable of 6,600Mbps speeds in aggregate across one
2.4GHz band and two 5GHz bands when it's communicating with Wi-Fi 6 devices.
The company claims that this is a performance increase of up to 2.2x over the
previous generation. The ZenWiFi AX uses the AiMesh mesh networking technology
and includes two Wi-Fi 6 mesh nodes. The routers communicate with each other
over a dedicated 4×4 Wi-Fi 6 backhaul. It also integrates AiProtection Pro
suite of security features.
Asus also introduced the ZenWiFi AC
Tri-Band Whole-Home Mesh WiFi System that includes two AC300 routers. Each
supports the 802.11ac Wave 2 standard and 802.11n's 5GHz and 2.4GHz spectral
bands, letting the system achieve an aggregate speed of 3000Mbps. The routers
integrate AiMesh technology, and come with a lifetime subscription of security
updates from Trend Micro. The AiProtection Pro security suite is also included.
Lastly, the ZenWiFi Voice standalone wireless router has been launched as well.
It comes with Amazon Alexa support, Wi-Fi 5 router connectivity with MU-MIMO
support, and the AiMesh functionality.
