The ZenWiFi comes in ASUS's trademark reasonably exciting but still relatively sober packaging.
Inside is the usual array of power adapters for each unit and a choice of UK or European plugs, plus an Ethernet cable.
ASUS claims that the two ZenWiFi units together can cover a space of 5,400 square feet or 500m2.
The ZenWiFi units are somewhat dark and unassuming, like a couple of mini speakers or voice-activated assistants. They are at least smaller than NETGEAR's Orbi, so won't be so obtrusive around the house.
Unlike some mesh units, ASUS makes no distinction between the router and satellite. They both have four Gigabit Ethernet ports, with one specifically labelled for WAN usage, although on the satellite this can be used by a client device instead. There's a USB 3.1 Gen 1 port (aka USB 3.0) next to this for network storage or printer sharing. Then you get the physical power switch and input.
Overall, the ZenWiFi units are rather unassuming, considering the high-end 802.11ac wireless networking they can unleash around your house. Next, let's find out how easy they are to set up.
