I will say this is not optimized or well suited for running a vpn client. It seems to keep one core of the CPU at max usage causing stability issues if running an open vpn client. I had random restarts and dropped connection issues even on machines not routing through the vpn until I turned if off. The UI is so so, responsive but not the best layout. They name things like VPN client "VPN Fusion", just stupid nonsense that's unnecessary and makes working with their product more difficult. I'm not sure the load balancing of the cpu cores is limited to an issue with VPN client running at this point, so we'll see how stable it stays during the return window if it's worth keeping. The number of dropped connections and random restarts so far is not promising, but hoping that's limited to the vpn being on. I replaced a much better performing similiar priced TP-LINK BE19000 that started consistently dropping connections after 2 months. I tried a netgear nighthawk RS600 which is way more expensive that I returned as it forces you into a dns subscription service or a monthly renewal of their partner free service for VPN client use. The lower specs on this I knew would be compromise and won't really support a future 5gig fiber connection, but none of the consumer manufacturers seem to be there yet.

This is my second ASUS router. My first one lasted about six years before it failed and became inaccessible. I’m hoping this new one will hold up even longer. So far, I like it better than the last model — the LED light indicators are much easier to see at a glance, which is a nice upgrade. Performance has been excellent, with strong coverage throughout my home and even reaching outside. The only downside is that I’m not getting a signal in my attached garage for some reason. Overall, I’m happy with the purchase and would recommend it.

Easy to set up and the app is solid. Nothing crazy.

Easy to setup, great speed with fast ports. Bought multiple to create aimesh

Was able to set up successfully, but things happened that the manual did not cover (i.e. set up the main network, then the ASAS atomatically set up anothe "LOT" network. ASUS then assigned different systems in our house to one of the 2 networks, with no explanation of WHY! When I tried using my phone to talk to a device, it would not communicate. Called the Tech help line and the person I spoke with was useless!! Finally figure out that the 2 items trying to talk were on different networks. Changed one item's network and Voila!

I have experience with at least three different routers. Basically, the more you pay, the greater the features and signal range. For the average home user, you do not need to pay the higher price. Thus, the Asus RT-BE92U is a well-priced router that offers excellent features and superb signal range. With a previous router around the same price, the signal strength was weak on the other end of my house. However, this Asus router provided excellent signal strength for the same end of my home. Also, each manufacturer's router interface is different. Some are more pleasing and easier for the user to navigate and understand than others. The user interface for this router is robust and splendid, and its explanations are usually coherent for anyone with some computer experience. I have learned one apparent flaw with the software in that the bug icon for a possibly infected device cannot seem to be removed once placed. Of course, I expect this to be resolved with a future software update since no application is perfect in its coding. While I have not explored the router's user interface extensively, this is my only complaint. Of the routers that I have used throughout my long career in the information technology field, the Asus RT-BE92U router is one of the best if not the best for its price. Unless you are a serious gamer with high hardware requirements, you cannot go wrong with purchasing this product.

I bought the ASUS RT‑BE92U hoping it would be a big step up for my townhouse network to replace my old Google Wifi mesh setup. I look at the ASUS because it had a lot of future-proof features and people seem to like the extensive customization you get through the ASUS software. But after trying it out in a three-story, ~1,250 sq ft townhome packed with multiple devices and about a dozen smart-home appliances (lights, sensors, etc.), I ended up returning it. What the Router Does Decently: The RT-BE92U has a strong feature set on paper: Wi-Fi 7 support, tri-band connectivity, and plenty of LAN ports including high-speed 2.5 Gbps/10 Gbps options. That looks great if you care about wired networking or future-proofing. It can deliver good throughput at short range, and for a small home or single-room use, maybe that would be enough. Setup was easy and ASUS’s software and feature-rich firmware are more comprehensive than most basic routers, so if you like tweaking settings, parental controls, and advanced options, there’s a lot under the hood to play with. Where It Fell Short: For me, it wasn't reliable enough with constant stability issues, dropouts, and reboots. In my townhouse with multiple floors and many devices, the connection simply wasn’t stable. It struggled to keep a consistent connection throughout the house. I’m not alone either; other users on ASUS forums report random disconnections, CPU spikes, and even unexpected reboots when using this router, and ASUS has even acknowledged it doesn't have any firmware fixes that completely solve the problem. Performance degrades over distance and with many devices. Though Wi-Fi 7 promises high speeds, the RT-BE92U’s real-world performance drops significantly at moderate range, which made it hard to cover all three levels of my home reliably. I got mixed results with smart-home gadgets. At first, I thought the tri-band might handle all my lightbulbs, sensors, and other IoT devices, but many struggled to stay connected, or dropped off the network entirely. This aligns with what some other users have observed with Wi-Fi 7 routers trying to support legacy smart-home gear. Bottom Line: If you have a small apartment or a modest number of devices, the RT-BE92U might be okay. But in a multi-level home loaded with smart-home gear, it was too inconsistent with frequent dropouts and weak coverage made it unreliable for daily use. For me, it simply couldn’t keep up with all the devices across three floors. And for the price, I would expect a lot better performance I ended up returning it and replacing it with a mesh-based system that handles my smart home and many devices much more reliably. If you’re looking for a “set and forget” router to support lots of devices across a larger home, I can’t confidently recommend the RT-BE92U.

Really good router, no complaints. Easybinstall and easy use

So there are a lot of reviews of this unit cutting or cycling when the cpu 100%. That’s true and it can happen anytime it wants. Because my work is crucial, I use direct Ethernet for my systems to but that doesn’t mean I am safe. Actually considering disabling the DHCP portion of the router and installing a wired router to handle those requests.

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!

The device's exceptional performance immediately stood out, providing seamless connectivity for all my devices. Its user-friendly interface made setup and configuration effortless, even for someone with limited technical expertise. The router's robust features, including advanced security protocols, provided peace of mind while gaming online. Furthermore, its sleek design seamlessly integrated into the existing home entertainment setup, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal. Overall, it's a reliable and high-performing router that significantly improved the online gaming experience.

Very stable wifi with great speed. Good value compared to the mesh systems when your house is two floors and don't really need a mesh system. Very robust configuration options as well, without yet another subscription.

Works exactly as expected. I am using this as a mesh extender off of my main asus router. Made my whole house have good wifi

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

When this is up and running, this router is great. However, this thing has major issues with connectivity if your *modem* loses power. There are multiple forum posts out there stating they have problems getting this router and other similar ASUS routers to work after power failures/modem power outages and I can confirm. My office used to trip the breaker a few times every few months which caused me major headaches due to the router not being able to get an internet connection afterwards. The only way to get it back up was to wait until the next morning and reset the router and modem and start the setup from ground zero. If you do get this router, be sure to hook everything up and get the wifi working, and then power off your MODEM, then plug it back in to see if the ASUS router has issues getting internet connectivity back. If so, return it ASAP... I've read that ASUS routers have had this issue for over 10+ years and there does not seem to be a fix in sight. I will be staying away from ASUS routers from now on.

I've been using Asus routers for 15 years. They had always provided a rock solid wired and wireless network. The RT-BE92U was the first Asus router I've used that could not do that. I tried just one as a router. One as a router and one as a node. Then two as nodes and three as nodes. No matter what configuration I setup, devices would drop off wifi and the BE92U units would reboot periodically. This is with the newest firmware from late November 2025. It was extremely frustrating. So, I purchased a couple of the RT-BE96U routers. One for the router and one for a mesh node. I copied over the settings file from the BE92U router and instantly my network was rock solid. It's been ten days now and no device has dropped off the network and neither BE96U unit has rebooted. This was never the case in the eight days of use I had with the RT-BE92U units. I only wish I had listened to the people that said to stay away from the RT-BE92U. It certainly has some serious problems. It's the extremely rare dud from Asus.

For a "starter" ASUS router with Wi-Fi 7, this is an epic choice. Not only is it a really quick setup, it offers a ton of features with the ASUS firmware. As well, it's price is great for a Wi-Fi 7 router. That said, there's a few features I wished it had or supported. Granted these are rather niche features, but support for VLAN would be awesome to have. Having the 4 LAN ports receive different VLAN's would be amazing. The mini-support for guest networks and IoT networks is nice, but they can still communicate with each other.

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

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.

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.
