Review of Asus Zenwifi XD6.

Zenwifi XD6 is also listed in the best mesh solution list. It will be very good if you can use Ethernet backhaul. If you have to use wireless backhaul, then the more expensive Zenwifi XT8 (triband) is much better.

Zenwifi XD6S has cut down a bit on the Flash size (not a real issue) and LAN ports (you may need to add a switch). Wireless performance should be the same.

Thanks for the info. I did read it up on dongknows.com. Just asking to see anyone have any issue.

As for the port, you said they cut down on lan ports? They don't have the same? Coz I cannot find any infomation on xd6s.

M1 site still can choose xd6s or xd6 so i just want to make sure they are almost the same in case I choose xd6 then m1 decide to give me xd6s

The difference is listed in the spec page. They share most the same spec except Flash size (which does not matter much) and LAN ports.
