ASUS ZenWiFi
Ideal Mesh Networking Solution For Thick Walls!
Whole-Home Coverage
The ZenWiFi AX Hybrid system includes a pair of ASUS AX3000 WiFi routers with built-in 2,500 Mbps MoCA 2.5 networking. It features unique technologies that give you superfast, reliable and secure WiFi connections – inside or outside your home!
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.
