ASUS has announced the new ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro and ZenWiFi BT10 which provide exceptional speeds and coverage thanks to its WiFi 7 mesh-based system.
Offering 2 new models in one shot, the ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro delivers up to 30 Gbps and covers 8,000 square feet with its 2-pack setup, while the BT10 offers a robust solution with 6,000 square feet of coverage yet both of them feature 2x 10 Gbps Ethernet ports, enabling next-generation Internet speeds and wired backhaul for smooth and stable connectivity, making them ideal for smart homes and creative studios.
Powered by ASUS Smart AiMesh, these systems use WiFi 7 Multi-Link Operation (MLO) to optimize connections dynamically, minimizing latency and enhancing transmission efficiency. Smart AiMesh intelligently prioritizes bandwidth for demanding tasks while offering extensive features like advanced parental controls, security, and VPN support. The BQ16 Pro utilizes dual 6 GHz bands for dedicated wireless backhaul, maximizing the capabilities of WiFi 7. Meanwhile, the BT10 is tailored for setups with wired Ethernet, providing a seamless mesh solution.
Not only are these great for both wired and wireless connection, but they also come with USB 3.0 WAN and mobile tethering, ensuring uninterrupted Internet access during network outages.
ASUS also emphasizes security with enterprise-grade protection through AiProtection Pro, bolstered by a Trend Micro AI-powered cloud database. The Smart Home Master tool simplifies network management by creating secure subnetworks. For example, the IoT Network groups all IoT devices under a dedicated SSID for enhanced security, while the Kid’s Network provides a separate SSID with parental controls to manage screen time and online activity.
Meanwhile, the VPN Network streamlines access to preferred VPN services with support for modern protocols like WireGuard, ensuring privacy and encrypted connections.
Price and Availability
At the current moment, only the ZenWiFi BT10 is available in Singapore at the price of SG$699 for 1-pack and SG$1,299 for 2-pack respectively.
