ASUS ZenWiFi AX Hybrid XC5 AX3000 Wireless Dual-Band Gigabit Mesh Wi-Fi Module (White)

The ASUS XC5 (W-1-PK) is a Wi-Fi 6 mesh module that pushes AX3000 performance through every corner of a home or small office. By combining wireless networking with MoCA 2.5 backhaul, it turns the coaxial cables already hiding in your walls into a fast, wired pathway, so reinforced concrete or thick brick no longer blocks your signal.

Each unit delivers up to 2976 Mb/s across the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands and blankets up to 2400 square feet with dependable coverage. Drop one module on each floor or at opposite ends of a long hallway, and they will hand off traffic seamlessly, giving laptops, smart TVs, and consoles the same steady connection you would expect right next to the main router.

Inside, a 1.7 GHz quad-core processor and 512 MB of RAM keep data flowing smoothly even when everyone is streaming or gaming at once. Two internal antennas handle the wireless work, while the pair of Gigabit Ethernet ports lets you hardwire a desktop, NAS, or smart hub without adding extra switches. If you prefer, one module can act as the primary router while the second port stays free for a wired device.

Security is handled by WPA3 encryption and lifetime AiProtection Pro, so threats are blocked before they reach your network. You also get built-in VPN support, a guest network option for visitors, and parental controls that can pause internet access on a schedule. Everything is managed through the ASUS Router app, which guides you through setup in minutes and gives you a clear view of connected devices afterward.

The ZenWiFi AX Hybrid XC5 is ideal for homes with coax already in place, multi-level properties that suffer from dead spots, or small businesses that want reliable coverage without pulling new Ethernet runs. Add more units if your space grows; the system expands just as easily as it installs.
