ASUS ZenWiFi Pro is the new paradigm for whole-home mesh WiFi, combining performance and beauty in a perfectly balanced package. Working with the ASUS WiFi 6E ecosystem, it takes the productivity and entertainment capabilities of your whole-home network to the next level.
More Streams, More Bandwidth
ZenWiFi Pro ET12 is a 12-stream device, with combined total data rates up to 11000 Mbps. This boosts its capacity for transmitting and receiving data to large numbers of devices simultaneously, reducing dead zones and giving ZenWiFi Pro ET12 the performance edge for the busiest home networks.
RangeBoost Plus
ASUS RangeBoost Plus is the latest, most powerful version of our renowned RangeBoost technology, and it improves coverage for all your WiFi devices including legacy devices. Using a next-gen flagship Broadcom WiFi chipset and a 2.0GHz 64-bit quad-core CPU, RangeBoost Plus leverages multiple exclusive ASUS technologies to dramatically improve WiFi signal range and coverage by up to 38%*.
Easy Scalability for Flexible Networking
With ASUS AiMesh, it’s easy to add extra nodes for improved coverage or new features — simply add any AiMesh-compatible router!
Dual 2.5G LAN and WAN Ports
ZenWiFi Pro ET12 has both a 2.5G LAN port and a 2.5G WAN port, so you can enjoy full 2.5 Gbps speeds all the way from a compatible ISP to your compatible wired devices.
New 6 GHz Band for Stable Backhaul
5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands are getting more and more crowded with the growing number of home devices. The new 6 GHz band is reserved exclusively for WiFi 6E devices, so there’s no interference from other legacy devices. This makes it ideal for use as a stable backhaul connection. You can also select the wired Ethernet for the backhaul connection between nodes. Alternatively, you can choose automatic mode and let ZenWiFi Pro ET12 choose the best connection type based on your environment. The choice is always yours!
Engineered for Performance
ZenWiFi Pro ET12 is engineered to deliver maximum WiFi performance — with throughput improved by up to 18%*— from the latest Broadcom WiFi chipset and CPU . The eight external antennas are carefully located and angled within the special transparent compartment on the top of the router, minimizing interference while maximizing signal coverage.
*The data compares with former WiFi 6 platform.
Commercial-Grade Security for Your Home
Home network security is crucial when you have multiple connected devices, especially if your network hosts devices without virus protection, such as IoT devices. ZenWiFi Pro ET12 includes lifetime free AiProtection Pro, including advanced Parental Controls, and also uses the latest WPA3 security protocol.
More Privacy, Anywhere
Instant Guard gives you one-click secure internet access via ZenWiFi Pro ET12 from anywhere in the world, thanks to its encrypted data-tunneling VPN technology. With ZenWiFi Pro ET12, you can take your home network with you wherever you go — and say goodbye to web-based third-party VPNs!
