ASUS ZenWiFi AC Whole-Home Tri-Band Mesh System (CT8 2 Pack Charcoal)

The ASUS ZENWIFI AC (CT8 2PK) CHARCOAL is a mesh WiFi system that provides tri band coverage for the whole home. With two identical nodes working together, it delivers a combined wireless speed of up to 3000 Mbps and stretches coverage to about 5,400 square feet, enough for most multi-story houses or large apartments with thick walls.

Each node communicates over a dedicated 5 GHz backhaul and broadcasts on 2.4 GHz as well as a second 5 GHz band. The arrangement keeps traffic balanced so every phone, laptop, console, or smart TV enjoys a connection that stays steady even when the household is streaming 4K video or taking several video calls at once. Antennas are positioned to direct signal where it is needed, which helps eliminate dead zones without forcing awkward placement.

Trend Micro technology provides network security for the lifetime of the product. Real time threat blocking, device quarantine, and automatic updates run quietly in the background. Parents can also schedule internet time or block inappropriate sites from the same mobile app, removing the need for extra subscriptions.

For devices that work better with a cable, each unit includes four gigabit Ethernet ports, suitable for desktop computers, media streamers, or network attached storage. When your space or device count grows, AiMesh support lets you add compatible ASUS routers and manage everything from a single interface. The system is well suited to remote workers who need reliable video calls, families with many streaming devices, or anyone who wants simple, dependable WiFi throughout the home.
