    Abysmal wifi performance. I installed in place of another Asus router and swapping back and forth gave 1/3 the speed of the old router. Wired performance is really good but I couldn’t deal with the rotten wireless. I would not recommend this yo anyone.

      Dear Alice,


      Thank you for your comment.


      We do understand your disappointment with the product and the inconvenience this may have caused if you are experiencing auto-reboot randomly. Having multiple devices connecting simultaneously will cause traffic congestion to any router and will generate excessive heat, and will cause an auto-reboot, regardless the manufacturer. Additionally, ensure the router is well ventilated to avoid overheating and a restart. 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/.

    Asus still needs to work out all the bugs first

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Hardware is nice and great for the money the problem is that the firmware at the moment is half baked and still has several bugs. For instance, I experienced this myself. I enabled all the features like Ai protection, QoS, apps analysis, Traffic Analyzer, MLO, and IPV6 enabled and I experienced random losses of network connectivity that lasted minutes before coming back. And that's not the only problem, just search other forums like the Amazon reviews, SNBForums, or even Asus's own Zentalk forums and there are plenty of other people like me who have random disconnects or CPU cores stuck at 100% and overheating errors. While the latest update did mitigate a lot of these issues, it still isn't perfect. For instance, if I enabled all features like Ai protection, QoS, apps analysis, Traffic Analyzer, MLO, and IPV6, I get random connection drops but once I turned them all off, it seems relatively stable and others on the forums and reviews I mentioned also saw the same experience. Now I don't doubt Asus will fix it eventually as my previous Asus router had bugs and glitches that were eventually fixed but it's disappointing to have a product released with this many bugs and glitches. In it's current state with all the bugs and such, I would wait it out until all these issues are fixed. I've reported the issues to Asus using the built in report tool and hopefully they get fixed but time will tell. Again before purchasing, read all the 1 star Amazon reviews as well as people on SNBForums and the asus Zentalk forum to check if these bugs have been addressed then I would purchase it.

      Dear ERLA, 


      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 problem if the router's features were all enabled. To resolve the issue, please check if your ISP's modem fully support the router. Additionally, if you have legacy devices connecting, these may not work properly with all the router's features, please check updates for these devices. 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.

    This was not a purchase I needed, but wanted. I have 3 Ax82u routers already and wanted a newer model for future needs. Setup was easy, and I added the older routers to this unit for AiMesh. I have one node (Ax82u) in my camper. 150 feet away from my house and get an "ok" signal that far away. Another node on the opposite side of my house with & "Great" signal. Since I have one extra node to use, I put the third node in my barn, about 50 feet away, slso with "Great" signal. All three of these nodes are wireless signal from the BE92U. The speed increase from my internet connection increased my download speed and upload speed. I use several Ring doorbells, smart TV's, laptops, desktops, smart thermostats, switches, outlets. (I am a Geek/Nerd). For a new wifi 7 Asus router, price was reasonable.

    AVOID THIS ROUTER

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The rumors are true! I wanted to like this router but it's plagued with too many issues (straight from the factory). The firmware is flawed. The wifi randomly drops the connection. Changing your firmware to Merlin won't fix all the issues. The bug where the router would randomly forget your admin account and credentials made it impossible to log into the admin console without resetting it (or unless you've already enabled SSH which is for advanced users). That was the final straw. I lasted about a week with this router. The feature sets are what makes this router attractive which is why I've always bought Asus routers. This one made me switch to TP-link. You loose a little on features but gain a lot in reliability. No more constant reboots. No more having to reset your router. Best Buy should really pull the RT-BE92U router from their store until Asus fixes it.

      Dear User278802,

      Thank you for your comment.

      We do understand your disappointment with this router and the inconvenience this may have caused if you are experiencing drop connections. The firmware update for this laptop model works without problem, ensure that you successfully update the firmware. To resolve the connection issue, 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. Additionally, check 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. Legacy devices may not work properly with WIFI-6E or WIFI-7, 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 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/.

    Constant reboots. Bad firmware.

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This router has good potential but unfortunately it seems to have major firmware issues causing it to reboot constantly. I was hoping the most recent firmware update would fix it but it did not. Even with nothing plugged in the CPU and RAM usage is really high and eventually the router reboots. I would avoid this for now until Asus releases a fix.
