User reviews
General info
With more LAN ports you are able to connect more computers to the network directly using LAN cables.
A WAN (Wider Area Network) port is most commonly used to connect the router to the internet. It can also be used to connect to an external private network.
has outdoor capability
✖Asus ZenWiFi Pro ET12
The device can be set up in outdoor environments.
USB ports
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
With more USB ports, you are able to connect more devices.
warranty period
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
When covered under the manufacturer’s warranty it is possible to get a replacement in the case of a malfunction. Note: This may vary by region.
weight
1.5kg
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
volume
3187.22cm³
Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by the product's chassis or, in simpler terms, the space the product occupies.
thickness
115mm
The thickness (or depth) of the product.
width
115mm
The width represents the horizontal dimension of the product.
Performance
Wi-Fi version
Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax), Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n)
The Wi-Fi versions supported by the device.
Wi-Fi bands
Tri-band
Dual band routers have two bands, 2.4GHz and 5GHz. The 5GHz band is faster and more stable, with the only downside being that it covers a shorter range than the 2.4GHz band. If you have many connected devices, you may benefit from a tri-band router, which has an additional 5GHz band to reduce network congestion. Finally, there are quad-band routers. These take advantage of Wi-Fi 6E to provide an additional 6GHz band for faster speeds and lower latency.
Wi-Fi speed
4804Mb/s
A higher maximum Wi-Fi speed results in better performance. This is measured in megabits per second.
CPU speed
4 x 2GHz
The CPU speed indicates how many processing cycles per second can be executed by a CPU, considering all of its cores (processing units). It is calculated by adding the clock rates of each core or, in the case of multi-core processors employing different microarchitectures, of each group of cores.
RAM
1GB
Random-access memory (RAM) is a form of volatile memory used to store working data and machine code currently in use. It is a quick-access, temporary virtual storage that can be read and changed in any order, thus enabling fast data processing.
has an external memory slot
✖Asus ZenWiFi Pro ET12
The device has a standard memory slot (such as an SD or micro SD card slot) that enables you to extend the built-in internal storage with affordable memory modules, or easily retrieve data, such as photographs, from the memory card.
Has DNS relay
✔Asus ZenWiFi Pro ET12
With DNS relay or DNS caching, the router stores the response to queries for a short time. This means that the same query will return a quicker response if repeated from another computer in the same network.
internal storage
0.26GB
The internal storage refers to the built-in storage space available in a device for system data, apps, and user-generated data. With a large amount of internal storage, you can save more files and apps on your device.
Antennas
external antennas
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
More antennas result in increased signal strength. External antennas can be repositioned in order to improve the signal, and replaced with a longer antenna if needed.
Has removable antennas
✔Asus ZenWiFi Pro ET12
The antennas can be removed if they are not needed, or replaced with longer ones if necessary.
More antennas result in increased signal strength. Devices with internal antennas often take up less space.
Security
Has a built-in network firewall
✔Asus ZenWiFi Pro ET12
A network firewall protects a computer network from unauthorized access.
Has DoS protection
✔Asus ZenWiFi Pro ET12
DoS protection guards a content network against DoS (Denial of Service) attacks. These flood a network with server requests, slowing overall traffic and potentially causing long term interruptions.
supports WPA3
✔Asus ZenWiFi Pro ET12
WPA3 is a method of connecting to a Wi-Fi network that is more secure than the previous protocol (WPA2). Individual data is better encrypted and it is harder for hackers to gain the password with a brute-force attack.
Has WPA2 Enterprise
✔Asus ZenWiFi Pro ET12
This is a router feature that is designed to authenticate individual users to an external server using a username and password. It is more secure and complex than WPA.
supports WPA2
✔Asus ZenWiFi Pro ET12
WPA2-PSK is a method of securing your network using WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) as well as a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) password. This was designed for home users without an enterprise authentication server.
Has MAC address filtering
✔Asus ZenWiFi Pro ET12
This is a security feature in which network access is granted to devices based on their unique MAC address. It can provide increased security, but it can be a risk if the user loses the device.
Has L2TP Passthrough
✔Asus ZenWiFi Pro ET12
You can enable L2TP Passthrough. L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol) is a VPN (Virtual Private Network) protocol for carrying data from one device to another securely over the internet.
Has IPsec Passthrough
✔Asus ZenWiFi Pro ET12
You can enable IPsec Passthrough, to allow IPsec (IP Security Protocol) encrypted/authenticated data to pass through your router, enabling increased security.
Has SPI intrusion protection
✔Asus ZenWiFi Pro ET12
All incoming traffic will be blocked except for those types selected in the Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) section. This helps to protect your network from unwanted traffic.
Features
IPv6 enabled
✔Asus ZenWiFi Pro ET12
IPv6 is a newer version of the Internet Protocol. IPv6 operates as a separate network to IPv4, and has the capacity for more IP addresses and more features.
has beamforming
✔Asus ZenWiFi Pro ET12
Normally, a router broadcasts the Wi-Fi signal in all directions. Using beamforming technology, the router detects where your device is and focuses a stronger signal in that direction, resulting in a better connection.
supports mesh Wi-Fi
✔Asus ZenWiFi Pro ET12
If you use several of these routers, they can link up with each other to provide a greater area of Wi-Fi coverage. It's particularly useful if you have a large house or apartment.
supports Matter
✖Asus ZenWiFi Pro ET12
Matter is a standard for smart home devices. It is backed by various tech companies including Apple, Google, Amazon, and Samsung. The goal is to allow devices to be used across different systems, so you don't have to worry about compatibility issues.
supports VLAN tagging
✖Asus ZenWiFi Pro ET12
VLAN tagging is required by some internet service providers (ISPs) to establish an internet connection.
Has a dedicated smartphone app
✔Asus ZenWiFi Pro ET12
There is a dedicated smartphone app that is designed to be used with the device.
Is cloud enabled
✔Asus ZenWiFi Pro ET12
Cloud compatibility allows you to control the operation of the device remotely using your smartphone, tablet or other mobile internet devices.
Can be used wirelessly
✔Asus ZenWiFi Pro ET12
Wireless devices allow users more freedom of movement.
is DLNA-certified
✔Asus ZenWiFi Pro ET12
All DLNA-certified products are compatible with one another. When different devices are connected to the same network, data can be transferred easily between them.
