Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have owned the router for three weeks. Setup was not difficult with Imac did not use Asus app. Unit applied the Firmware update and held the settings. Great coverage in multi level 2600sqft home. No dropouts after three weeks, 2.5 seems to have slowed a little. All devices are getting advertised speeds, except Iphone 16 pro because apple restricted it to 160mhz not full 320mhz. Very good buy at the Black Friday price. Best Buy did honor the price match guarantee for the holidays.

This router has everything that a hard core gamer can want! Having a dedicated, separate network for gaming devices only? Check! Amazing, easy to read color indicators to determine network status? Check. Enough ethernet jacks for multiple devices? Check. Very easy to set up and worth every penny

He works really good till now. I’ve been doing really good and speed and downloading. It’s really fast. I love it and streaming.

Has tons of features. I bought this because it has 8 ports and all are 2.5 gbps.

Amazing wifi 7 router, software can be a bit clunky and depending on your internet service provider may need to jump through hoops. But for the amount of 2.5G ports and the software bells n whistles great

So far been using this router in replace of the be92u triban router. And i use it meshed wifi 6g. So far i noticed my internet speeds faster in my room wifi off mobile and wired is just fine with this and before. Range is better for sure. Loving it so far. Is it overkill for me? Yes. Do i care? No. It is said this is better meshed up then main router and i like it. The be92u i hadwss good aswell but i think this is performing maybe 30 percent better

Worked flawlessly and range is great afc feature is also well worth it.

I was bribed by a $400 gift card chance but the router is actually really awesome.

We have a 2 story house, about 1200 square feet on each level. We have always had problems getting a good wifisignal that covered the whole house. We have tried the mesh systems, before we got this Asus router, we had a main router and 2 wifi extenders. There were still dead zones in certain areas of our home as well as a lot of places where the speeds were like 20% of what they should be. I have owned a lot of Asus Rog products in the past, so I was excited to give this a try and see if it could solve our wifi problems forever! Out of the box, this is clearly a Rog product, it has the cool design, lots of square edges as well as a big light up logo on the front that can be customized with different colors and light patterns. Before I go any further, Asus, if you are listening, PLEASE add a brightness control to the front light. Its cool and all, but it is very bright! Yes, there is an option to turn it off completely, but I think being able to dim it would be very beneficial to still be able to keep it on, but not have it be so bright. Other than that, there are some status lights on the front and tons of ports on the back. In our house we have lots of desktop computers for home as well as a couple work from home desktops as well. Then we have the teenager with the gaming rig. We also have tons of security cameras, smart lights and switches, and lots of other devices that we need to connect wirelessly. Getting the router set up was very easy. There is a companion app that you can download on your phone to get it set up and handle all of the settings on the router. On the back you have 2 - 2.5G gaming ports, 7 - 2.5G ports and 1 - 2.5G WAN port for a total of 20 Gbps of Ethernet capacity. So, I would think for just about anyone that would be more than enough ports! I got everything set up, all of our desktops are hard wired and everything else is wireless. I was very excited to see how the wireless would be on this router. It claims up to 3300 square feet of coverage with the 8 internal antennas. I am very happy to say that it indeed covers our entire house without any repeaters or range extenders or anything like that. We have 1G service and there isn’t anywhere in our house that we get less than 500Mbps which we are VERY happy about. Not to mention we now can get wifi on our back deck and front porch which we never really were able to get before. The speeds for both wired and wireless have been amazing. We have had it hooked up for probably about 3 weeks now and haven’t had a single problem with the router or the internet going out or anything like that. Productivity on the desktops have been perfect, and the kids say gaming has been a lot better than it was before due to the increase in speeds. They used to constantly complain that online gaming was almost impossible to do because of the lag and slow speeds, and now that is a thing of the past! I have yet to find any major negatives about this router except for the insanely bright light on the front. It would be nice if it had VLAN capabilities because it would be nice to keep our work computers separate from the rest of the network, but that’s not a total dealbreaker. If you really want to dive into the settings there are tons of customization options like VPN’s, parental controls, as well as security from online threats and router intrusions. I very highly recommend this router to anyone! It has amazing coverage that far exceeds any mesh system or extenders I have ever tried (and I have tried a lot!)

ASUS BE-18000 ROUTER, I'm a big fan of ASUS routers, this was a big upgrade for me. With its 6G capabilities all I had to do was get a 6G usb antenna for my PC and now my wireless speed has almost doubled!

So far the best wifi router/modem you can get for gaming

Easy set up, easy app with useful features that aren't behind a subscription service, parental controls

I was in the market for a great router and this did not disappoint. WOW!! Fast & reliable, good app, easy to setup.

Has been solid so far! You have to download the app to enable the AFC feature; it uses your phone location to check if it's allowed. One of the few router's that have the function enabled! Has been very stable.

Simple concept set up with quality app configuration. Incease speed with stability, beyond expectations. Makes a difference for multiple devices handling heavy workloads. A nova slot of equipment, Recommend it 10 to 10.

Power-house has been on sale so far and has been worth the money, thanks to its future-proof design.

At first i had trouble setting this router up because it didn't let me set it up thought my computer. After downloading the asus app i was finally able to set it up easily

Nice product with current wifi technologies for home wifi services

This is a very powerful and fast router. I use this as a mesh node for my main ASUS router. Highly recommend!

Excellent Router. Very easy to set up. You have to upgrade the firmware to the version 3.0.0.6.102_38782 as the first step. Asus interface is full of options and very easy to use. Extremely fast when on 6ghz.
