I had the model prior to this one and did not get consistent speeds. This router works very well with the Verizon Fios 2 gig service. I get speeds of 2300mbps download and upload

This is the possibly the coolest router I have ever worked with, literally. It barely gets warm to the touch at all even under a heavy workload. The firmware is a little flaky, especially with the MLO, but it is definitely a great router despite the ridiculously high price.

Expensive, but worth it? I got the ASUS ROG BE98 Pro BE30000 to get the most from my internet service. I replaced a Linksys EA9500, which has to be more than 10 years old. I have 2Gig Internet service and was only getting in the 500's download speeds. I was hoping this would have gotten me to the 2Gig level. I did get 1185 megs down only once, but I'm still stuck in the 500's down.

I had an 8-year-old ASUS router, which wasn’t really up to modern standards. I went ahead and got the best router available. The ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro. It looked like a perfect router with plenty of ways to configure it. The onboard OS offers plenty of options to tailor your home network. So I decided to start pretty much vanilla with just the default settings on a basic home network. The problem was that things couldn’t get a reliable connection. This isn’t my first rodeo, as I have been in the computer design business since the 1980s. I went through every step I’d learned before, and still things refused to connect. I like a challenge, so I went in search of other remedies. I came up empty, so I called ASUS Tech support. Several calls later, I took it back to Best Buy and exchanged it for a new router. I got the new one home, and it was even worse than the first. It took between three and ten minutes to connect to the internet, and then you had a very poor connection. Connecting the internet to the 10G port (Default) enabled LAN but disabled Internet. Connecting to 5G allowed internet, but no LAN. It would take my computer a minimum of 5 minutes to connect to the internet when connected via an Ethernet cable.
I called support and was escalated to Tier-2 support, who would contact me within two business days! I called three business days later and was escalated once more, but still no calls. I called and asked to be transferred to tier two support. I was transferred, and they had me email them the router config file. I will be contacted within two business days. Here we are more than two weeks later with no calls from tech support. I did get an email from them with questions, and I answered them, and still no calls. I need a router to be functional out of the box. The two I bought may be from a bad batch. ASUS has done nothing to keep me as a customer.
Before you ask, yes, the internet is completely functional on just the modem and on other routers.
