Couple months in, so far so good
My ISP decided to make my range extenders obsolete with a firmware update and offered a monthly fee solution to provide new ones. Decided to take it out of their hands and just port forward their router to my own. Bought this kit and so far it works great. I am able to create 3 separate networks. One for stuff I don't want anything else to access, one for guests and one for all of our IOT devices. Love the web interface, made setup pretty easy. Get great signal throughout the house with just the two access points and it is faster than the router from the ISP by quite a bit. Definitely recommend it, will update if I encounter any issues.

Works very well.
I've been very happy with this setup since I used it to replace my older ASUS router that I was using and had for over 5 years. This combo has allowed me to have very good to excellent wi-fi reception throughout our 225+ year old house from second floor to basement. The Wi-Fi 6 can be a bit finicky at times.

Biggest waste of money
By far the worst networking devices I have ever owned. Stay far away. Devices constantly disconnect and have to reset the network repeatedly or struggled to get security camera and other devices to reconnect. Huge waste of time and money.

Excellent!
Great speed and reliability for WiFi 6E devices. Bought 2 for more reliable voip connections when moving around house and I’m very satisfied. Later added a BT8 primary to extend range outdoors further and again was satisfied with the results. However, the ET9 node will only support 2 SSIDs with BT8 as primary - may be a firmware limitation between WIFI 6E and 7 devices?

Great control in app
needs frequent reboots but strong stable connections.

Asus still using very old firmware, many features are not available
Quality manufacturing, works fine out of the box, easy to add as an AiMesh node for Asus routers. I am using 2.5Gbit wired backhaul and it works great. I really want to be able to use the full features of my network (my other AiMesh node is an ET12, and my main router is the BE7200), but things like IoT networks and guest pro aren't supported as the ET9 is still using the old (3.0.0.4 series) firmware and Asus has not commented on releasing the long-since-standardized 3.0.0.6 series firmware. I wouldn't recommend this router for power users and savvy customers until they offer that firmware update.

Good but needs some tweaks
I purcahsed this to replace my ASUS ROG GT-AX11000 router. There was nothing wrong with my old router really, but it just couldn't really cover my entire house that well so I decided to get a mesh system. So overall the ET9 system works pretty well. But I don't really understand how ASUS determines what node a device connects to. I have devices that are maybe 10 feet away from a unit, and if I go into the ASUS app, it'll show that the device is connected to one of the router nodes over 30 feet away on a completely different floor of my house. It's a regular thing too. I have a lamp that is maybe 70ft away upstairs that will connect to my primary node in my living room rather than the node that's about 20ft away upstairs. You can bind devices to specific nodes in the ASUS router app, but if you have a lot of devices you want to do that to, it can become very time consuming. You have to go to each device, tell it what node you want it to connect to, and then it will run a test to see if that's a good path or not. If it is, it'll say it's been bound to that node. If it's not, it'll tell you it's not optimal and ask I you want to bind it anyway. The entire process takes maybe 30-50 seconds to do. Which doesn't sound bad, until you have to do it for 50+ devices and possibly multiple times if you want to test different nodes. Again, it can be time consuming. But that's tech for ya.Also, the speeds are pretty good. We have a 1GB fiber connection, and if I do a speed test about 10 feet away from my primary node that's connected to my modem, I get about 600-700MB downloads on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. On the other nodes that are about 30 feet+ away in other rooms, I will get similar speeds. That being said, if you want to get the best speeds for all devices, you will need to spend some considerable time inside the web interface on a computer (NOT the ASUS router app. They do NOT offer the exact same functionalities as far as customization goes) to adjust all the settings. Yes you can just set everything up so you have wifi and connect and go. But if you want the best coverage and speeds, you'll need to do some serious tweaking in the settings between channel and band settings, and other things like enabling/disable airtime fairness, beam forming, etc. Don't think the default settings will be what works best for you. Unless all your devices were made yesterday with the latest wifi standards, you'll have some adjusting to do. I've had our system for going on a month I think and I'm JUST getting everything settled and have spent easily several hours adjusting settings. And even then, not everything works perfectly. But that's likely due to the devices on the network not wanting to play nice. Everything works great, with the exception of some wireless IP cams we have from different brands.We do have a hard drive connected directly to our primary unit that has a bunch of movies and stuff on it that we use to stream to our TVs throughout the house. The system does well with this, however occasionally it'll say the hard drive isn't connected. Sometimes restarting the system will fix it, other times I have to go into the settings and change the system from USB 3.0 to 2.0. But it doesn't happen that often, I'm just mentioning it incase someone else has the issue and needs possible solutions.Overall it's a good system. Again, just expect to spend some time adjusting settings (again, in the WEB interface, not the ASUS app) to get the best performance.

Very easy setup, great speeds, access to all the usual settings
I'm coming from some eero 6 pros, these are such a nice change. Nothing is locked behind a subscription, just as easy to setup, same speeds, and so far the updates don't cause half my smart devices to disconnect.
