## Questions & Answers

**Q: how does this work with bt ultimate fast 2**
A: 1. You have to connect this with BT Hub via ethernet cable.  Disable BT wifi from the BT router. Use ASUS Wifi 2. I have BT FTTP connection which comes with a modem and BT hub. Fibre is connected to modem and then the modem is connected to BT Hub.  What I have done is: removed BT Hub for unnecessary wifi congestion. I have connected ASUS directly to the Fibre modem. From ASUS, the connection method I have chosen is PPoE . I hope it is clear now.

**Q: does it work with Virgin fibre?**
A: Yes it does, you put the virgin hub into bridge mode (the light on the front of the virgin hub goes Purple)- then use the Asus unit to manage wifi and IP etc. It's very easy to set up, and manage. You can use either the app, or login to a browser to do more detailed configuration. Plug in the ethernet cable into the WAN on the Virgin hub (port 1) into the WAN port port on the Asus unit. The reboot the virgin hub, and then power on the Asus unit. jo done. Point to note, should you lose connectivity to the virgin (As in the recent outages), there is no need to reset the Asus unit, it'll pick up the refreshed gateway IP from the virgin hub automatically.

**Q: I have bt fttp and bt sport.   does this setup support bt sport on the bt\humax youview box?**
A: I have FTTP with BT. The fibre comes into the house into the Openreach modem. All you need to do is remove your old router (which is connected to the modem), and connect one of the Asus routers directly to the modem in its place. This then acts as the master modem, the other Asus router acts as a mesh node. It is easier to use the phone app to set it up.

**Q: What does ‘pack of 1’ mean?  1 ‘pair’ or a single node?**
A: A single node. A pair is around £400

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wi-Fi nodes
*by P***1 on 23 March 2025*

Great work Wi-Fi performance and easy enough to setup if you are using it via lan it is a nice and compact size which is good meaning that once it is setup to go you don’t really notice it anymore whilst I have 3 of these nodes I would say they are very expensive for that they are if you have brought ASUS Wi-Fi before there is not much change in the interface even the app is the same for this model but yes if you are looking for performance this does deliver that couple of issues I did notice was the system ram gets used up very fast when you use anymore features that is absolutely needed to setup the network don’t know why that is had not issues with previous asus Wi-Fi nodes also if you have a firmware update you will after the initial install have too reset the device back to manufacture default if you don’t do this you will have issues with network stability and standard reset does not solve this

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprisingly easy to setup, ideal for hi res audio.
*by M***T on 9 January 2022*

Having purchased and setup many wireless routers and extenders over the years I’m always a little nervous when one of the selling features is easy setup, in my experience this is usually far from the case, I was actually surprised how easy and quick it was to get up and running straight out of the box, provided you stick to a simple wireless network, ie using the same ssid & password for the 3 wireless bands. So far wireless coverage has been excellent, 2200 sq ft house unit located on ground floor in centre of house, we’ve noticed an improvement in speed and stability with multiple device’s in fact biggest difference has been improvement in sound quality of high res audio on my audio system.There are a lot of extra features most users won’t require such as ability to separate the 3 wireless bands with their own ssid & passwords, band width limiting or priority, parental control of individual devices to limit content and set use timers.Overall very pleased with the product, I did purchase the optional wall bracket, not from Amazon but another well know online site as it was half the price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Impressive router
*by K***L on 12 January 2022*

I have recently moved from Virgin Media to BT FTTP 900mbps package so I understand the limitations that the ISP supplied routers can face. This has been the best router I have ever used.Getting some of the key figures out of the way -Speeds on Wi-Fi 6 using an IPhone 13 Pro Max within 10m of the router normally range between 880mbps & 720mbps.At the furthest point away from my router within the house (Average 4 bed detached new build) I will still see speeds of 350mpbs and that doesn’t seem to changed throughout the day at all. Ping is around 7/12ms & upload stable between 100mbps - 130mbps.Over Ethernet using a cat 6/7 cable I see speeds between 1.1gbps & 900mbps (This can vary but normally sits within this range) ping tends to be lower between (3/7ms) upload speeds the same as Wi-Fi.This is a Tri-band router but I have left the router on auto and it seems to manage the traffic well - I have many smart home products that use 2.4ghz & the connection has been solid even on my Nest Hello doorbell which I had multiple connection issue when it was connected to the Virgin SH3 (I didn’t have any connection issues on the BT SH2 I must say)Setup with the FTTP couldn’t be easier. You simple plug the router into the BT ONT and login to the ASUS router using the App & enter the below details -bthomehub@btbroadband.com with a password either blank or “BT”.Once In, you can leave the router to its own devices like I did or change the settings as you require.30m away from the house I can still get signal with just the one router. I personally don’t think many people would need to take advantage of the Mesh capabilities & get the second router but this will also vary on the size of your house & wall thickness etc.
