Had problem with original router. Took back and exchanged for a new one and that one was dead out of the box so i exchanged it and the new one had maintaining a connection until i changed some settings and downloaded new firmware. Its working ok now except after the firmware update it shows my laptop is connecting by 2 clients! Ugh! Overall it's a good router with plenty of features! Calling tech support at ASUS was not very helpful!

Currently have Quantum fiber so I was able to get the two gig hardwired no problem. However, Wi-Fi from my desktop shows roughly 400mbps download and my phone is only 300mbps. I cureently only have use the desktop and my phone on the asus router, everything else is going through a tp-link deco mesh AP. when I switch to the deco's, which had the whole house on it including ring cameras, I get 900mbps wifi download when the only thing on the router is the desktop and phone. My main reason perching sing this in addition to the Wi-Fi 7, is the 1 gig download for 2.4 gigahertz Channel, majority of the routers on the market only avg 600 Mbps for 2.4 Channel. With that said, a bit overpriced in my opinion especially since I don't get good download, I have to use the deco

Router had cpu/reboot issues in the past but they are now fixed. Make sure to factory reset the router with the reset button on the back, then flash the latest firmware (3.0.0.6.102_38962) of this review. then do one final reset with the button on the back for a 100% fresh slate.

Buggy early firmware hampering a good router

Suffering from buggy firmware. Several complaints in the forums of random disconnects, and other issues (in the logs)
Asus (in forums) has suggested a process of firmware update and then a hard reset. Fixed for some, not for others.
I'm in the middle. My random disconnects have lessened, but I'm having intermittent delays and a lot of errors in the log (thermal errors, deauth errors, etc.). I've written to Asus (sending logs) and haven't heard back....
It may be fixed over time, but if you can, wait a bit...
Asus, if you're listening, I'd like some support.

Saved config to a pc from my gt-ax6000, restored on rt-be92u. Updated firmware. No flakiness, better WiFi in a traditional hard to reach area, better switching, and now our WiFi 7 devices get more bandwidth - laptop used to get 100MB/s now gets 150 MB/s.

I replaced my ASUS WiFi6 router with this one. I saw no significant boost in speed. I have several tplink plugs which had a problem connecting, after numerous attempts the problem was wpa2/wpa3 security. I changed it to wpa2 only for the 2.4 ghz network and they connected then put it back to wpa3/wpa2 and they are fine. It also doesn't connect to the internet sometimes and needs to reboot through the web page

This router replaced my 10 year old Asus router. I never had any problems with the previous router, it just became outdated. I hope to have another long run without any issues. Easy to install and setup. I like the option to add the mesh, as my house is 3 floors.

Router With Many Issues

Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This router has given me nothing but grief for the past 3 months. I bought it late July 2025. The last fee months it constantly will just quit working for no reason. After the last firmware update a week ago, the 2.4 ghz band quit working. I installed Merlin on it and that was ok for a few days. Now it just randomly stops working yet again. I dont have fancy settings and use suggested channels. I also disable wps. Im calling support tomorrow and if they dont give me a solution I’m never buying another Asus product. I have an AX58U that never gave me a moment if trouble anc I’ve had to go back to using it so now I cant take advantage of the higher speeds on the 1.2 gps fiber optic internet I have. Really annoying. I game and watch videos plus we have multiple devices. I thought this Wi-Fi 7 router could handle it. From what I’ve read this router has nothing but issues.

Dear FeenixT,
Thank you for your comment.
We do understand your disappointment with this router and the inconvenience this may have caused if you are experiencing connection problems, and the 2.4GHZ connection finally stop after a firmware update. To resolve the unstable connection problem, ensure the router is placed 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. If after the firmware update, the 2.4Ghz bandwidth quit working, check in the Wireless Scheduler, if 2.4GHz was not scheduled to turn off. Also, try to disable "Smart Connect" and try setting up the 2.4GHz or 5GHz bandwidth separately. Furthermore, check if your PC or devices are running with the most current wireless drivers.
Should you need further assistance with the product, please email me at [email protected] 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/.

If you are using this with wifi 6 band, please disablw Ai protection and limit the devices resources. It seems it will reboot itself or lock up once a day. It looks like its a known problem. This is why its super cheap period. The manufacture knows something js wrong and discounted it.

Good. Cool options like setting up a VPN on an SSID so my wife can watch her korean drama shows as if shes in Korea. I have 25 IOT and other devices hooked up to this thing and its performing like a beast. The only thing is that URL filtering doesnt work, and never has on any ASUS router I have ever owned. Not sure why.

Amazingly bad. Seems the firmware is not ready. Coming from the AX88U-Pro to this I thought I might be getting some better features and ports. Come to find out the firmware looks the same but seems not to function correctly. Then you have the strange disbursement of the bandwidth across the bands, leaving the 5GHz band with an oddly small amount of bandwidth while the new 6ghz network just basically sits there because it only functions within a 10 feet radius of it. Basically you need to be within eyesight of the router in order to get WIFI7. It's propbably not a bad device for a 1 bedroom apartment or a small economy room, but not much else.
Also, VPN fusion does not function correctly, the router bogs down and seems to save settings and then never be able to change those ever again. Directly from a full fresh initialization this thing takes a poop.

Dear ShoutHouse,
Thank you for your feedback
We do understand your disappointment with the product and the inconvenience this may have caused if you are experiencing connection problems. To resolve the unstable connection, please verify if the PC or device connecting to the router is working properly and within range to the router, the router is within 30 feet to the ISP's modem, if not wired with a network cable, and ISP's internet service or connection is working properly or stable. Additionally, check if the router matches the credentials of your ISP's modem. Legacy devices may not work properly with WIFI-6 and WIFI-7, please check updates for these devices. Also, try connecting this manually to either 2.4GHz or 5GHz. Should you need further assistance with the product, please email me at [email protected] 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/.

I have been running Asus routers for years and as of lately on my iPhone 17 pro max I had the WiFi bug hard so it was time to try any solution so I picked this WiFi 7 capable router and my speeds went over 1gb on WiFi from 459mb. The price is cheap for a WiFi router with this much capability you will not be disappointed.

Easy setup, fantastic features and UI, some not so great quirks (streaming across different networks, etc). Overall a great router even with the minor negatives. If all you need is a high performance router for gaming or streaming, this is a solid choice.
We especially like the family controls, content filtering, etc. I personally use a few of the other features like VPN and SMB with success as well.
Overall a great router for the price even with the quirks.

My old linksys started to fail, so, I began the search to replace it. This router seemed to offer the speed and features we needed in our house. It is fast. the AI Mesh network is phenomenal! However, this thing will drop connections 2-3x a day. It comes back after 2-3 minutes, but causes major interruptions. You are better off buying one of the older units for reliability. This one is probably going back.
