Ideal For Overcoming Thick Walls

The ZenWiFi AX Hybrid combines WiFi and MoCA technologies, providing the ideal solution for homes with thick or metal-reinforced walls that cause WiFi backhaul problems. Backhaul data for the mesh network can be sent via coaxial cable over the existing coax wires in your home, so WiFI devices can connect at full AX3000 WiFi 6 speeds. The MoCA 2.5standard is almost 2X faster* than the previous standard MoCA 2.0.

*The operating frequency range of MoCA 2.5 is 1,125MHz ~ 1,675MHz. Since some splitters may not be able to work properly (e.g., abnormal transmission) within the range, please make sure that the operating frequency of the splitter you use in the network matches that of MOCA 2.5.

MoCA 2.5 Ensures reliable backhaul transmission

ASUS ZenWiFi AX Hybrid uses MoCA 2.5 as dedicated backhaul transmission and the transmitted speed over coax wires over to 2Gbps. That's almost twice as fast as the previous MoCA 2.0 standard!*

* For better transmission quality, ensure that you use RG6 coaxial cables in the network environment.
