Just upgraded to fiber optic when i purchased this and its the fastest router ive ever owned. Great for gaming!!! The range is unbelievable. My pc is hard lined into it and ive never had faster speeds the 10G port alone is worth the money. The app is ok. Simple to use but not very many options.

Upgraded to this from my old Asus RT-AC5300 that I got back when 5GHz was still pretty new. It's a worthy upgrade, and my partner and I are looking forward to utilizing the 6GHz more for VR.
One thing I was a little disappointed with was the fact that you can't link the dual 6GHz bands together like my old one can for 5GHz.
It's very chonky, so make sure you have the space!

This thing is nuts. I have it set up on the third floor, and it reaches the the first with no issues. High speed, and with the app is no issue to control.

This router is the BOSS! It easily covers my 2 story 2700 square foot home. One of my favorite features is that ASUS is one of the only router companies that doesn't charge a subscription to use parental controls for your kids using the network.

Great Router not just for gaming but ive known businesses to use it as well. The settings may seem overwhelming at first glance but if you take your time the biggest advantage of ASUS Pro series routers is the free lifetime subscription for their AI powered Firewall.

It’s ok it seems to work seemlessly with my devices I had an ax 11000 worked great wit an ASUS 92 as a mesh. Now I have this be98 as my main unit and ax 10000 and ASUS 92 as mesh nodes. One router on every floor. No dead zones outdoor wireless cameras work beautifully my son PS 5 says it’s faster. I have 1g internet not much improvement in way of speed but the coverage is phenomenal. After a few firmware updates it’ll be fine. Oh out of the box the router had to be reset. ASUS walked me through it and setting up mesh on the phone. Very good tech support.

This router is future proof for a good while. Components using wifi 6 and wifi 7 won't be going away for a good while. The router has a great deal of options for just about any situation you might find yourself in. The range is quite good also.

This is a great upgrade if you have a previous ASUS router, upgrading from Rog Rapture GT-AX11000, using this router as my main router and using my previous router as a aimesh node to boost my signal strength.

It's got not only it's primary Wi-Fi node, but also supports a guest Wi-Fi node AAAND a separate VLAN dedicated for the isolation of connected IoT (Internet of Things) smart appliances!
Now all I need are some Wi-Fi 7 capable devices!

Pros:
Looks great
Antennas are built-in
Blazing fast
Great range
Good app and UI
Cons:
6GHZ frequency will cause random restarts, losing all connections often throughout the day. The fix is to disable 6GHZ, which is dumb and doesn’t justify the price tag. I’m on the verge of returning if they don’t fix it. New firmware didn’t do anything to resolve.
Gets hot, Make sure you have it in a well ventilated area.

This thing is a beast and the factory packaging is excessive. It took longer to unwrap all the packaging than to set my network up.
Once you’re plugged in setup is easy through the app or web interface and very user friendly.
The router itself is a beast and the lighting is kind of obnoxious but that’s ok because that’s the target audience and besides, you can turn it off. I simply care that it performs and it truly does. I had an Eero 6 Pro 3 base station setup before this which worked great in my 2600 sq ft single story house. I just upgraded to AT&T 2 Gig internet and this router is exactly what I needed as most routers on the market will not cut it.
Wired tests were phenomenal: 2300/2300 Mbps download/upload on Cat 6 cable and 940/940 on Cat 5E through a gigabit switch. I don’t have any Wifi 7 devices so I tested with my Wifi 6E iPhone and I got the following in order of closest to furthest distance from the router:
Office at front of house(router location)
1230/1400
Living room (adjacent to office)
1000/600
Family room
580/190
Garage (adjacent to office)
1120/850
Guest bedroom
640/260
Bedroom 1
720/280
Bedroom 2
480/150
Master Bedroom
520/160
Master bathroom (furthest room to router)
50/10
Standing next to the router it will use the 6GHz band which is great but the range is minimal. Standing at the furthest room in the house it drops to 2.4 GHz where the signal will be great but the actual throughput on this band is kind of mediocre but still usable.
There’s always room to expand as it can mesh with other Asus routers so that’s a plus.
I highly recommend this router if you’re getting more than 1 gig from your ISP: this and Cat 6 cables are the ticket for the ultimate home network.

Very good range in a two story town home. The walls and ceiling still provided a bit of a challenge for upstairs as I had to place it down stairs, but provided much stronger signal than the included ISP Gateway from Comcast. While it did its part very well I decided to return this and switch to the Orbi mesh system. For those not running mesh or on a one story residence I’d highly recommend this. The antennas are not subtle in appearance however

It does the job quite well. Amazing interface. Highly customizable. Multi band four channels wifi with multiple hard ports on the back. This is a beast. However, it is pricey, and you definitely get what you pay for. That's the only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars. It was a big hit to my pocketbook although it is well worth it.

I am enjoying the speeds even without many wifi 7 devices. It seems better than the ASUS ax11000 its replacing. I ran some ethernet cable to have a better backbone for the mesh network. Excellent.
