The ZenWiFi BQ16 is ASUS's flagship Wi-Fi 7 mesh system, sold as a two-pack of tall, column-shaped nodes. Each node is tri-band with 6 GHz, 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz radios, two 10 GbE ports plus Gigabit LAN, and one USB port. It targets large homes and multi-gig internet plans where a single router cannot cover the space. Against Wi-Fi 6E mesh kits it adds the wider 6 GHz channel support and faster wired backhaul; against cheaper Wi-Fi 7 mesh kits it stands out for the 10 GbE ports and the extensive ASUSWRT feature set. Reviewers rate its throughput and coverage highly but note the size and the price class it sits in.

Reviewers praise the BQ16's real-world throughput, wide coverage and stable mesh roaming, and call the 10 GbE ports a genuine advantage for multi-gig setups. Complaints center on the large footprint, heat and a setup interface that assumes some networking knowledge.
