    Not the Upgrade I Expect’d—Weak Signal

    |

    Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I debated buying this router for a long time and watched countless online reviews before finally deciding to purchase it. Nearly everything I saw was overwhelmingly positive, with only a few mentions of 2.4 GHz signal drop issues. I’m not sure if I ran into the same problem, but my connections kept dropping, and the Wi-Fi signal on my phone consistently fell by one or two bars. This was noticeably worse compared to my other tri-band Wi-Fi 7 router. I updated the firmware and explored nearly every feature to try to optimize performance, but the issues persisted. It’s possible that my unit was defective, but for now, I’ve decided to return it and go back to my previous tri-band Wi-Fi 7 router

      Dear PrinceJC,

      Thank you for your comment.

      We do understand your disappointment with the product and the inconvenience this may have caused if you are experiencing weak wireless signal. To resolve the weak signal, place the router in the center of the area you want to cover, avoid placing the router near metal objects, electronic devices or direct sunlight, position the router on a flat, hard surface and halfway between the floor and ceiling. Additionally, dense building materials, such as gypsum, concrete walls and planks can affect Wi-Fi signal penetration. Also, we recommend updating router's firmware if it is running with an older version. Firmware is available for download at:  https://rog.asus.com/networking/rog-rapture-gt-be98-pro/helpdesk_bios/. Furthermore, legacy devices may not work properly with WIFI-7, check updates for these devices. Also, try to disable "Smart Connect" and try connecting these devices manually to either 2.4GHz or 5GHz.

      Should you need further assistance with the product, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I would be more than happy to help. Or you are most welcome to call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent from the link: https://www.asus.com/us/support/article/1135/.

      Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.

      Regards,

      Rodel

    Expanded features makes this router not for the novice. Make sure it's placed in the right location, it's powerful, but still doesn't travel through walls that well.

    At first loved the router, it worked well and was extremely fast. After 2 1/2 months roughly it stopped working. Contacted ASUS about resovling this issue and it has been the most painful experience with customer support in my life. Potentially will be charged for repairs on the device even though its still under warrenty is just ridiculous. If i could go back and choose a different product I would. If the product works for you consistently then it would be a great purchase but in my experience I can’t recommend this product to anyone.
