ASUS's home networking devices bag several first-place awards at PCMag's 2025 Reader's Choice awards.

(Press Release) ASUS announced that its home networking devices have swept the PCMag 2025 Readers’ Choice awards, earning first place in the categories of Home Wi-Fi Routers Overall, Standalone Home Wi-Fi Routers, and Wi-Fi Mesh Network Systems. This is the first time that a single company has won all three of these awards. For the PCMag Business Choice 2025 awards, ASUS networking devices also won in the categories of Routers for Home Offices and Wi-Fi Mesh Network Systems for Home Offices. This marks the 13th time that ASUS has won for Home Wi-Fi Routers Overall, the second time for Wi-Fi Mesh Network Systems, and the 8th time for Routers for Home Offices.

This unprecedented clean sweep underscores ASUS leadership in creating devices to address the full spectrum of networking needs, from standalone home routers and mesh WiFi systems to business networking.

Unmatched Satisfaction and Reliability

ASUS topped PCMag’s survey charts with a score of 9.4 out of 10 for overall satisfaction and also led in reliability, mesh coverage, network management and likelihood to recommend. Home office users indicated that they particularly enjoy the streamlined VPN setup: “It’s really easy to set up a VPN connection on the router for full coverage of all devices,” noted one respondent.

And thanks to ASUS AiMesh technology, any compatible ASUS router—including ROG gaming routers—can seamlessly join a user’s network, unlocking advanced features like WiFi 7 Multi‑Link Operation, Smart Home Master and unified management for truly extendable, high‑performance coverage.

With thirteen years as the PCMag Readers’ Choice Award for Standalone Home Wi-Fi Routers, two years of Wi-Fi Mesh Network Systems awards and eight years of Business Choice Awards for Routers for Home Offices, ASUS has solidified a position of innovation and trust. More than a decade of customer recognition demonstrates engineering mastery, cutting-edge network innovations and rigorous testing standards, driven by customer feedback and continuous refinements in every router generation.

For WiFi mesh systems, PCMag reports that “ASUS’s ZenWiFi line wins easily, notably jumping from 9.0 to 9.4 year‑over‑year for overall satisfaction." They also note, “The Asus ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro in particular impressed us with its astonishing throughput speed.” PCMag also recognized the ROG Rapture GT6 as “one of the few mesh systems designed specifically for gaming...which is also an Editors’ Choice winner.”
