ASUS's "ZenWiFi XD6" can be described in one word as "just right".
Not only is it compact and easy to install, but the performance of 4804 + 574 Mbps is also excellent, and the price is relatively easy to obtain at around 45,000 yen for a set of two units.
In other words, it supports mesh, has a calm design of the Zen series, has a security function with "AiProtection", "Adaptive QoS", and a VPN server, and can be easily set with a smartphone application ...... , Well, it's a product full of "heavy" feeling.
If you are a reader of this magazine, you will want support for IPv4 over IPv6 such as MAP-E and DS-Lite, but depending on the environment, it is an unnecessary function. In conclusion, it is a well-balanced product with ASUS-like multifunctionality and high wireless performance that can be said to be on par with wired LAN.
In the same series of products, the high-end model "ZenWiFi XT8" (4804 + 1201 + 574 Mbps), which is tri-band compatible and very fast, and the compact and stylish entry model "ZenWiFi mini XD4" (1201 + 574 Mbps) are also attractive, but when it comes to actually buying them. , The size is reasonable, the performance is perfect, and this product is the first candidate for an affordable price.
Even if it is the same "just right", it seems to be a "just right" product that you want to actively choose, rather than a compromised one.
