ASUS ExpertWiFi EBA63 AX3000 Dual-Band WiFi 6 (802.11ax) PoE Access Point, Support up to 5 SSIDs and VLAN, Self-Defined Network, Support PoE & PoE+, Easy Management app, AiMesh Compatible

Added to an Asus RT-AX88U as a mesh node. Literally took 5 minutes and 4.5 of that was waiting for it to establish connection and update firmware. Adds pretty reasonable range, although speed drops off pretty quick as you get further away. It might be because I'm using POE and it doesn't have the power it might have if it was plugged in. Right under it I get About 800mbps over a cat6e 1gb port. Overall, totally satisfied at this price point. 1st and only PoE AP Asus developed, so it's your only option for an AImesh poe ap.

Works as expected, added to mesh with ease.

I have a multi-story house, and the wifi signal on some levels was not good. I purchased the EBA63 to improve the coverage on those levels. My main router is a reasonably modern Asus GT-AX6000. The EBA63 works well as an AP for the GT-AX6000 using Asus's AIMesh feature. The router and AP are connected with gigabit Ethernet, so the EBA63 uses Ethernet for backhaul. My devices typically reach 300Mbps to 600Mbps when connected to the AP. It can be even faster if the client device is next to the AP. It has been running for two weeks and is stable. The client devices are able to roam seamlessly.I cannot comment about this AP with other networking ecosystems because I have not tested those scenarios, but with Asus AIMesh, it works well.The setup was not too complex, but here are a few issues I encountered and the solutions I found.-I have heard claims that using a web browser to configure the EBA63 is possible, but I couldn't get that to work. I used the app.-The EBA63 was defaulting to wireless backhaul even though it had access to Ethernet. When it was in wireless backhaul mode, the throughput was halved. I had to go into the app and manually set the backhaul priority. Pressing the "Diagnosis" button in the app seemed to reset this preference.-I use it with POE. I was replacing an older AP that used a passive POE injector. The EBA63 does not support passive POE (I tested it). I replaced the injector with a more modern 802.3at injector, and the AP worked. I think ASUS claims that the EBA63 supports PoE and PoE+ standards.-I updated the firmware early in the setup process. This might have helped me avoid some of the issues reported by other users.

It feels like the software for this new product is not ready for primetime. I have four other ASUS routers and they are very easy to set up and manage. This one is impossible. All I wanted was for it to act as an AP and provide WiFi connectivity in a difficult to reach part of the house. After multiple factory resets, an hour long call with tech support and quite a bit of wasted time on my part I gave up.When it boots as a standalone device it sets up a network at 192.168.72.X and totally ignores the DHCP server on the Ethernet connection, doesn't even get the DNS addresses from my gateway. When it comes up in AP mode it gets the addresses just fine at 192.168.1.X but it won't connect with wireless clients.I gave up and am returning this to Amazon.

Decent standalone, but doesn't work with other Asus mesh routers. The device seems to work fine by itself, but when trying to configure it to run with other Asus mesh systems, it fails miserably. Talking with customer service was great, but they weren't able to resolve the problem. Basically it only works with other expertwifi routers. Definitely doesn't seem worth it, unless it's all you use. The design is relatively sleek and smooth. The coverage seems decent when I was running it as a standalone.

I needed an AP)in my garage for my garage door opener, as it has a very weak Wi-Fi antenna. I currently use an ASUS wireless router and a NETGEAR WAX214v2, both set with the same SSID as the main router. While it works fine 90% of the time, the issue is that sometimes my devices get "stuck" on the AP and don’t disconnect to reconnect with the main router for a stronger signal. I really wanted to control which devices connect to which access point and adjust the roaming threshold, but that’s not possible with the NETGEAR AP.Additionally, I needed a PoE-capable AP since I don’t have room for an extra power adapter. ASUS didn’t offer a PoE access point until this summer when this product was released. I’m super happy with my purchase! It was easy to set up as an AiMesh node, and now I can manage which devices connect to which access point. It works incredibly well, and I highly recommend it if you need a PoE AP that integrates seamlessly with an ASUS wireless router.
