Manufacturer description

The ZenWiFi AX Hybrid XC5 includes a pair of ASUS AX3000 WiFi routers and MoCA technologies, providing the ideal solution for homes with thick or metal-reinforced walls that cause WiFi backhaul problems. Backhaul data for the mesh network can be sent via coaxial cable using the new MoCA 2.5 standard. Disclaimer: Actual data throughput and WiFi coverage will vary from network conditions and environmental factors, including the volume of network traffic, building material and construction, and network overhead, result in lower actual data throughput and wireless coverage.
