Not as fast as some mesh systems
Wired backhaul not yet supported
NETGEAR Orbi RBK40 and RBK50 beat it on performance overall
Attractive design, Fulfils corner-to-corner promise, Easy to setup
Expensive, Overkill for most UK homes
The idea of using a meshed network in the home makes implicit sense. Able to provide 'corner-to-corner' coverage in hard-to-reach places, meshed networking also promises higher speeds for households with an abundance of WiFi-enabled devices. This is the a...

NETGEAR Orbi RBK40 and RBK50 beat it on performance overall, No parental controls in Web interface, only the smartphone app, We couldn't get the smartphone app to work, No USB ports for printer or storage sharing, Kitguru Says: The ASUS Lyra is a very cap
The ASUS Lyra is a quietly impressive mesh networking system. Its performance may not quite be able to knock NETGEAR's Orbi range off its pedestal, but in pure speed terms it's the second-best we have tested after the NETGEAR products. The Lyra is also ea...

The three-piece Lyra kit is probably a case of overkill for most homes, so the forthcoming Lyra Mini might be a better – and more affordable – option for many people.The app and set-up process have a few rough edges too, but it's worth persevering as the...
Three stream design, Admin via web and/or app, Supports AP mode & Ethernet backhaul
Meh performance, Not AiMesh compatible
With the market flooded with so many mesh Wi-Fi systems, most manufacturers are focusing on lower-cost products to lure buyers their way. After all, three hundred bucks is a lot to ask your typical non-technical router buyer to part with, especially if th...
Web interface with many standard ASUS routing features, Has PPTP and OpenVPN servers
DHCP server seems flaky, Poor mesh capacity and Wi-Fi performance
It's not like the first Wi-Fi Systems sprang fully formed into the marketplace. They all had their growing pains as system designers learned how multi-node systems performed in the real world and tuned their software to improve system performance. But tho...
Solid throughput in testing, MU-MIMO support, Free lifetime malware protection, Robust parental controls, Easy to install
Lacks individual band control, No USB ports
The Asus Lyra Home Wi-Fi System uses mesh technology to deliver solid throughput to all areas of your home. It's feature-rich, but you can't separate the radio bands or connect to USB devices...
