The Asus ZenWiFi AX XT8 is an excellent all-around choice for folks who want the latest in their homes. The platform ticks all the boxes: easy and fast mesh networking, Wi-Fi 6 support, and robust security tools to keep your family and data safe online. And with the mobile app, you can even manage it from anywhere. That's a lot under the hood.

With its tri-band design and Wi-Fi 6 performance, the Asus ZenWiFi AX comes through with the ability to fill a moderate-sized home with wireless data. It may not be the fastest mesh kit, but the ZenWiFi AX's two-year warranty and built-in security can give a family network "administrator" the peace of mind that the data will get through.

It's expensive, and not everyone will need the sheer speed of Wi-Fi 6, but the new ZenWifi AX mesh networking system provides top-of-the-range performance for streaming video, gaming and other online activities. The Asus app also impresses with a good set of advanced controls, security features, and content filtering for parents of young children.
