Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 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.

Best router I have ever owned, lightning fast covers my entire house.

I get more speed than what I pay for! It is big so keep that in mind

Absolutely in love with this router. The app gives you all the control to fine tune everything. Finally getting the speed I pay for. Running 6 cat6a lan cables, multi channel wifi plus dedicated IoT channel for all my appliances. Handles 18 devices with ease with optimization

Great router. Very fast speeds and good range. Setup is easy with the app, with more advanced options for ones that know how to use them. Vpn is also easy to setup for all devices connected or you can choose which devices will be connected at all times.

Holy CRACKERS does this thing have it all. Range (check) Speed (check) Coverage (check) Security (check) VPN (check) 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!

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.

I've had the Asus ZenWifi Pro ET12 AI Mesh system for two years it was great. I wanted to add another node so I took a chance on the GT-BE98 as an upgrade but still able to operate in a mesh with my existing setup. Migration was simple. Backup my ET12 and then restore onto the GT-BE98. I would say 90% of the settings was transferred over, there was that 10% mainly on the WiFi network setup that needed to be adjusted because the new router has other features like WiFi 7. After that was sorted. It was easy to add my other nodes as AI Mesh endpoints with a dedicated 2.5G wired backhaul. I think it's great that Asus makes the AI Mesh interoperable between units and different generations f WiFi. Obviously Mu-MIMO only works on the GT-BE98 but the other WiFi 6E features work on the other nodes. I also upgraded my connection to the internet from 2.5G to 10G, but currently I only pay for 1G since I rarely need more than that. It's great to know it's upgradeable.

Super easy setup. Tri band with individual band setup. This has great coverage and great speeds

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.

Internet now in the house is super fast! And the coverage is great! No dead spot in the house

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.

Doubled the speed of my Iot devices channel, and runs 100+ devices with ease. Simple setup with app. Works with centuryling fiber directly from the ONT.

Easy set up. Gig speeds out of the box - even with VPN! Good features. I used to be a Netgear guy, but will now stick with ASUS.

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.

Havent had any issues from the device, so far. Good coverage throughout the house and speeds are a sadvertised. The only bottle neck is my ISP.

setup was... a bit of an adventure. So the base firmwar on this router was SO old that it did NOT know how to talk to my fiber modem... it just was full Patrick with a nail in his forehead. I had to tether my phone via usb to the modem to update its firmware. After that? This may be the fastest router ive ever had. almost 80mb/s down from over 100yds away. In house? doing almost 600mb/s on an iphone 13. My wired pc... getting within 4% of my rated up down of 1gb... doing north of 940up and down. This thing cooks... quite literally. Give it open air.. the top vent realllllly puts out some heat.

Update from a Linksys EA 9500 to achieve 2.5G speeds. I have not been disappointed. This ASUS BE98 Pro is a beast. Robust safety and speeds. Easy upgrade. Now using ASUS to build out the rest of my high speed network.

The 4x 2.5GbE ports and 2x 10GbE ports really make this worth the money. Add that to the way this router utilizes 2 bands of 6Ghz WiFi as a backhual and standard offering for devices actauuly makes a 6GhZ mesh system worth it. Or maybe only worth. However thr distance of the wifi isnt great with the fater speeds this thing offers. So if thats your primary reason for purchasing this keep that in mind. My home network uses the Dual WAN and is a hybrid of Aimesh and Cat6 runs. Having the ability to have multi-gigabit WAN connections and then more ports to send that across my homes Cat6 is a must have for me. The GUI isnt unfamiliar from other Asus router offerings and still seems to operate much like all other Asus Dual WAN routers. So kinda meh for some but I never have had an issue. I hate RBG so being able to turn it off on thr router is also very nice.
