Form factoriMesh system is a product line sold in packs of mesh units, e.g. eero, Deco and Orbi. A standalone router that can join a mesh as an option is a router. A travel router is a pocket-size router sold for travel.

Band steering over only some of the bands, such as 2.4 and 5 GHz on a tri-band router, counts. AFC is Automated Frequency Coordination, which allows standard power on 6 GHz.

Operating modesiModes the maker lists. Media bridge connects wired devices to another router over Wi-Fi. Extender, range extender and WDS modes count as repeater.

The text says it can also function as an access point or mesh extender, and the role cannot be changed once it is set up as a router.

Network featuresiFeatures the maker lists that work without a paid subscription. An IoT network is a separate network for smart home devices. Dual WAN uses a second internet connection as a backup or to share the load. Only features the maker clearly says are free. Parental controls counts when a free feature pauses or schedules internet access per person or device, such as eero Profiles, even when content filters need a subscription. When the maker's pages contradict each other, leave the feature out.

VPN serveriProtocols the router can serve, to reach the home network from outside. A paid VPN service is not a VPN server.

OWE comes from the general UniFi help article, see its note.

For guest networks UniFi recommends OWE with an open network, which gives modern clients WPA3-level encryption without a password. All 6 GHz networks use OWE or WPA3.

Security serviceiThe maker's built-in security service by name, e.g. AiProtection Pro, HomeShield, NETGEAR Armor or eero Plus.

AiProtection Pro1Maker product pageasus.com/us/networking-iot-servers/whole-home-mesh-systems/asus-zenwifi/asus-zenwifi-bt10Read 15 October 2026Commercial-grade AiProtection Pro powered by Trend Micro.2Maker product pageasus.com/us/networking-iot-servers/whole-home-mesh-systems/asus-zenwifi/asus-zenwifi-bt10/techspecRead 15 October 2026AiProtection row: AiProtection Pro with Router Security Assessment, Malicious Site Blocking, Two-Way IPS and Infected Device Prevention and Blocking.

CyberSecure1Maker product pagestore.ui.com/us/en/products/ux7Read 15 October 2026The store sells Enhanced Cyber Security (CyberSecure, powered by Proofpoint) as an add-on, billed yearly. The spec page lists 20,000+ IDS/IPS signatures with CyberSecure.

Security service costiWhat the service costs after any free trial. Basic free means the basic features are free and the full set needs a subscription. When the free and paid tiers share one name, such as HomeShield, it is basic free. NETGEAR Armor has no free tier after its trial, so it is paid. When the paid tier is a separate add-on, such as eero Plus, it is paid.

Free1Maker product pageasus.com/us/networking-iot-servers/whole-home-mesh-systems/asus-zenwifi/asus-zenwifi-bt10Read 15 October 2026The page is described as Subscription-Free Network Security with AiProtection Pro, and parental controls come without subscriptions.

Paid1Maker product pagestore.ui.com/us/en/products/ux7Read 15 October 2026CyberSecure is a separate add-on at 99 USD per unit and year. The basic IDS/IPS in the gateway is free. Stored as paid because the paid tier is a separate add-on, as for the UDR7 entry.

The page blocks automated access, so the text was read from a search excerpt.

Security updates untiliPublished end date of security updates for this model. It is not calculated from a number of years. A published minimum date, such as "at least through" or "or later", counts as the stated date. The source note says it is a minimum and names the region.
