Asus ZenWiFi AC vs TP-Link Deco W7200

Have the Asus ZenWiFi AX mesh in our 2000 sq.ft., 2-story house, and no problems with 2 iPhones and 2 iPad Pro's. They're always connected, and the reliablity and wireless coverage of the mesh is great

Been using it for a week now and no reboots and complete connectivity with all the computers and devices running. Since I do IT for a living I do hate their app as it is too simple and the web interface is a joke compared to the iPhone app's. The advanced feature just are not there for someone who knows what they are doing but the price is right and when I need my son to get offline I can easily toss him on the deny list and his gaming computer is offline. Don't need their subscription plan for that

Poor UI made it hard to optimize speed. Entering WiFi credentials was easy, so was reaching the admin page. But it wasn't smooth. First, it never mentioned we need to turn both nodes on before starting the setup process, or that it would help to start in the same room until the functionality is established (to watch the LEDs, because that's all you get for a while)

Its speed is awesome. And its app is very nice to use. If you don't handing the reigns over to the device to basically control itself, then you will probably like this product. I think there is a lot of overlap between the non-technical consumer who wants good Wifi with easy setup, and the consumer who can tolerate a little lag when watching YouTube because their device's connection dropped for 30 seconds

I sent a message to Asus tech support with no response but hopefully they will address this in a software or firmware update. Asus provides Free security while most other manufacturers doNot. Unfortunately the browser interface allows for a easier setup and to fix vulnerabilities compared to the IOS app. If you follow the above rules you will be very happy with this router

I got this for the parental controls (to limit my kids daily time) and for whole house coverage. You have to pay a subscription fee to get the parental controls, which I did. The problem is that, unless you power the devices off, they download in the background (apps checking for updates, system updates, etc) . The two hour allocation would be used up while they were in school and I'd have to keep adding time after they got home
