This thing is an absolute beast! I replaced my old ASUS router that had gone end of life with this one and saw my network speeds skyrocket. It's rock solid, stable, and future-proof with Wifi 7. Initial setup was easy, but it is also packed full of advanced options and features (security, VLANs, VPN, traffic analytics, and mesh networking) for those who know what they're doing and want more control over their networks. For example, I was able to set this up as the core router of a mesh network with two ASUS ROG GT6s to ensure blazing fast connectivity through all 3 floors of my home.

Upon visiting a Best Buy store I was immediately greeted by a very knowledgeable sales associate. While I had researched this router extensively, the associate added to my research solidifying the decision to purchase. The router exceeded expectations in ease of setup, range, speed and options available to customize my network. The phone app is an added bonus. I would recommend this router.

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

I replaced my ASUS AXE11000 with the BE98U as my main router and saw an immediate improvement in signal quality - especially in the length of travel of the 6 GHz band I have become so dependant on. ASUS had ruined my version 1 ET8 Mesh nodes with firmware updates. I had used with the AXE11000 for 6 GHz client connections. I now use the BE98U with the AXE11000 as a Mesh node and have fair 6 GHz coverage. I am upgrading the AXE11000 with the BE96U this week and expect to have even better 6 GHz coverage in my home and expect the BE96U Meshed with the BE98U will further improve all signals with the much improved interference rejection of WiFi signals in my neighborhood the BE98U has already provided. WIFi 7 and the multiple lanes provided using top end BE ASUS routers is unbeatable. If I find I still need more 6 GHz signat one point in my home, I will just keep the AXE11000 as Mesh node there. In any case, the performance will still be far above what I had using four ET8s as Mesh nodes with my AXE11000 as the main router in my previous setup - before ASUS ruined the 6 GHz broadcasting on ET8 Mesh nodes with firmware updates. I won't be using any more ASUS ZEN products.

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.

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.

I'm not a gamer but there are reasons why I chose to invest in the GT-BE98 Pro. I use it as the hub for my ASUS AiMesh network with two RT-BE96U's as satellites. A big plus are the four (4) 2.5GB LAN ports which allows me to connect to the RT-BE96U's 2.5GB WAN ports via Ethernet backhaul and realize the best Wi-Fi coverage possible. Rock solid performance throughout my tri-level home. I have 3GB incoming internet via Google Fiber with Wi-Fi speeds upload and download at 1GB+. At anytime I may have 63 clients which includes 31 Sonos components all on Wi-Fi. If you own Sonos wireless speakers you know they are very chatty and can push a router to its limits. Dual 6Ghz bands allows you to use one as a wireless backhaul leaving 2.4Ghz, 5Ghz and a 6Ghz band available for your clients. I have Apple products that use the 6Ghz bands. Many customization features for those with the requisite knowledge/skills. The price point IMO makes it a non-starter for those with limited networking skills as there are better ASUS Plug n' Play router choices available. If you're a tech geek and want to future proof your purchase then the GT-BE98 Pro should be on your short list.

Crazy expensive but maybe worth it. Gaming, streaming all work great. I was unsure about 6g, but found out I have a few devices support it. Really cool to easily see every device on every frequency on the router from the phone app. Also was clear that my ISP was having issues after installing this beast.

This is probably the best router overall I have owned so far. It has everything I want and need as far as features present on a router. It's fast. The WIFI coverage is exceptional. I only have this less than a month but so far not experienced any single problem. The only negative is the price. A little expensive but if you can afford it I would recommend this. I am not a hardcore gamer but the features on this alone is worth it.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Great product. Recommend it for all gamers. Easy setup

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
