Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve had this router for a couple of months now, and while it was decent out of the box, it definitely had its quirks — occasional Wi-Fi drops and some inconsistent speeds. However, after the firmware update released on June 27, 2025, it’s a whole different experience. The update resolved most of the issues I was having — no more random disconnections, and speeds are now consistently fast across all bands. Setup is still a bit technical if you're not familiar with router settings, but once configured, it’s been very reliable. Glad ASUS followed through with updates to make the hardware live up to its potential. If you were on the fence because of early reviews, it’s worth a second look now.

Out of three of these I pirchased one was bad and had to be swapped out by Best Buy. Easy enough to do. However, one other one had to have a hard reset to get it to work. There are problems with all of these according to Asus, however, most can be fixed with just a simple hard reset. My suggestion is that before setting it up, update the firmware and do a hard reset. If it is really slow and pokey getting around the menus, just take it back and exchange it. Asus told me it should only take a single hard reset to fix them. If that doesnt do it, then it is officially a hardware issue. The routers once working are extremly fast and have been very reliable for the past month. I moved up from Ax88U’s and there is a huge difference in speed using wifi6. I dont have any wifi7 devices so i cannot say how that works. Range is better and speed is almost double what i was getting before. It was worth the upgrade and the hassles.

Great performance. Wifi7 is not too different from Wifi6E but definitely an upgrade coming from an old 5ghz router, 6GHz band with longer longer range makes this product great! I like Asus software, lots of tools and config security options, handles well on cloud gaming (geforcenow) and Moonlight. Ping is definitely better (~25 vs 45 previously) and no need for a mesh system in the house, signal dropped only 1 bar on PC/phones 1 floor and walls 45ft (350mbps) away. 20ft still get full gigabit speeds. Recommended since this is the cheapest one for now, maybe wait for blackfriday deals. Works great on Galaxy S24 Ultra Wifi7 enabled natively. Easier to setup connected to PC via ethernet cable on asusrouter.com or 192.168.50.1

I've been really happy with the ASUS RT-BE92U Wi-Fi 7 router. The setup was pretty straightforward, and the ASUS interface makes it easy to manage your network and connected devices. There are also plenty of advanced settings if you like having more control over your home network. One of the biggest reasons I picked up this router was for wireless VR gaming, especially with the Steam Frame headset. It's been great for playing VRChat, where having a fast and stable wireless connection is important for a smooth experience. The tri-band support and dedicated 6GHz band are especially nice for VR since they help reduce congestion from other devices on the network. I also appreciate the multiple 2.5Gbps Ethernet ports and 10Gbps port, which make this router a great option for future network upgrades. ASUS AiMesh support is another nice bonus if you ever need to expand your wireless coverage. Overall, this is an excellent router for gaming, VR, and everyday use. If you're planning to use a wireless VR headset like the Steam Frame or just want a feature-packed Wi-Fi 7 router, this is definitely worth considering.

This is probably the best mid tier tri-band WiFi 7 router in the market in this price range. I tried using MLO but had some issues with older devices, so I reverted to leaving it off. Other than that, this router has been rock solid with no drops in connection and getting the full 500Mbps speed I pay for on wireless devices. Range is good, I'm getting around 400Mbps even through several walls and on the other side of the house on the 1st floor (router is on the second floor). The 2.4 Ghz band has slower speeds but good range, but I'm finding that the 5 Ghz band can cover roughly 2,000 sq ft without issue and at better speeds than the 2.4 band. It's nice to know it has AiMesh if I ever need to extend the range, but that's not necessary for houses under 2,500 sq ft. I'm very happy with this router for my needs (about 20 devices) and have confidence that I've future proofed my network for years to come.

Excellent product. Replaced my 6 year old ASUS with this highly upgraded model. Super fast and solid connections to all my home devices! WiFi 7 is awesome and the separate connections for IoT devices makes it very efficient. I also love the ASUS App, which has been upgraded from the one on my old router. Couldn’t be happier with this upgrade.

Overall seems to be working like it should. I needed a wake on lan eoutermy service providers router was not able to wake on lan. It took a little time to setup and forward wifi to this router and disable wifi on service providers router but once it was done it works. I do t have any issue dropping wifi connections and it seems to be a quality product

This router is perfect. It has mult-link operation that pushes my wifi speeds up to the same speeds i have on ethernet. I get 1.3gbps on ethernet and about 1.2gbps on wifi. range is great. the fact that it has nat loopback built into firmware is a massive plus. Easy to setup, 10gb lan port and multiple 2.5g lan ports. easy to use interface

This is a nice router. So far it has been stable with strong signals. I give it 4 stars because I cannot make the 6GHz work with the same SSID as my 2.4/5GHz. I use it as a node in AI Mesh instead of the main router, and my main router does not have 6GHz. This may be why. But given that all my routers are from ASUS, and the main router supports WIFI7, I still expect that I should be able to use the 6GHz band on this node with the same SSID. Hopefully future firmware update can address this problem.

Having owned far too many routers, from every brand, my favorite units have generally been from Asus. This unit has had a few random restarts but it's honestly worked as expected other than that. There is a new (non-beta) firmware as of 2-17-2025 that seems to have improved CPU usage, it's far more balanced, and I no longer see temperature read errors in the system log. I was honestly considering a return after a couple of those random restarts, but in typical Asus fashion, this unit has improved with each firmware update. My suggestion is to update to the latest firmware, do a factory reset and then adjust your settings as needed (be sure to back them up).

I used the recycle program and brought in a old asus router for 15% price reduction. I powered down the entire house then hooked the router to the modem with the modem switch off, I powered up the house and when the modem was booted I turned on the router. I then turned on the wired desktop and opened edge browser and the setup page came up after a bit. Setup let me separate the three bands and then asked me to create a IoT channel for all my old doorbells , thermostat and cameras which was a problem because I didn't want to give each device a new wifi password so the IoT channel I created had the same password as all the other channels to get things kind of going. It did a firmware update then I logged into the router to finish setup. I setup the security and did a scan and fixed everything it said to until the scan was all green. Than I gave all three channels all new passwords since all my cams were on the IoT with the old password. I got into IPV6 tab and enabled it and did a restart to get it to upload settings for it then went to firewall tab and enabled a few things. All 12 cams are on the 2.4GHz and are working as they should so far. All the network is working good also. I have a fan blowing on the bricks, modem and router and the cpu usage is very low and memory at about 65% usage. I use Surfshark VPN and setting it up again from scratch was quite smooth and is working great. Nord has always been slow and a bit of a pain to keep working for me. It hasn't been 24 hours yet but I think I won the silicone lottery. I did get the four year geek squad warranty and it was on sale also. The setup made me fix a bunch of security flaws with my home network the older asus routers don't do during the first setup. I will keep a eye on the power brick as it seems to be dying for some.

This is a fantastic router, user interface is good but labeling leaves a little bit to be desired. Performance, ease of set up and use are all top tier. One of the coolest thing it does that I haven't seen from my previous Linksys routers which I had always sworn by is the ability to still control almost everything this router can do while in access point mode. I'm not sure if that's become the new standard but it is a huge game changer since I use a firewall and really just need this for wifi signal. Parental controls, iot networks all being isolated and controllable from the router interface instead of having to go into the firewall and setting everything up via Mac address is a huge quality of life improvement! Signal is strong, fast and I cannot recommend this router enough

I purchased this Router as an upgrade to the original RT-AX86U. I found out that Cox over provisions their Gigabit plan and needed a newer router with multiple 2.5 Gigabit ports. The 10G is a bonus, but own't need that for quite a while. Also like the updated Asus firmware, and that's the second reason for upgrading. Securing firmware updates for at least 5 more years. I've had this router for about 1 week today, and everything is working perfectly. I even added my existing RT-AX86U as an AIMesh node in the bedroom for wired ports there, to cut down on long runs to clean things up a bit. I think the BE92U is a good upgrade for those not needing an ultra high end router, but also want something current that will last quite a few years going forward. My setup I live in a one bedroom apartment and have the following devices: 1 late 2015, 27" iMac 2. 4 Amazon Echo(s) 3. 11 Wiz connected smart bulbs 4. a 2016 Sony TV 5. Various streamers such as a 2022, Roku Ultra, 2019 Shield TV Pro, and Apple TV 4K (3rd Generation), and an ONN 4K Pro streamer. and my iPhone 15 Pro Max, and an old iPad Air 2. Either way this router easily handles these devices and the high end gaming features aren't required here. For a sing person that has a reasonable setup, the really high end routers are overkill both in price and features. Wit Asus, it's nice that they have options and with any router you get, you're almost certainly guaranteed the core features that make it an Asus router. Overall, been really happy with this router and get my full speeds I pay for now, on supported devices. So, yes I would absolutely recommend this router. Also, for those reading reviews from those giving the product a 1 star for pre-mature failure, take it with a grain of salt as bad batches of any product happen, but it's rare. My RT-AX86U was purchased in 2022 from Amazon (Gundam edition) and it's still stable and works today. I just needed an upgrade. So yes, I would also consider Asus Routers stable. Also,, before I leave this review. Keep in mind any issues people report maybe environmentally related, or the person may not have the experience needed to fix the problems. Everyone's setup is different and with anything Your Milage may Vary.

Best router I have owned great range And all my. devices are working better My previous router linsky was always dropped my cameras and other devices

Exceeded my expectations in all categories. This router will deliver the speed of your plan like none other that I tried - 5 or 6 including Spectrum's! the website: www.asusrouter.com offers settings and configuration options beyond belief. You may select your network frequency - 2.4, 5, or 6 and you can enable WiFi 7 if your devices will support. After tinkering, my devices ran better with JUST the 5.0 GHz instead of all 3 enabled. AND with Wifi 7 set to off. (Good to know the router will handle those if needed later.) And there is a setting to schedule an automatic reboot say once a week at 3:00 am if you ever need that. Let's be realistic that with multiple variables involved a router reboot is sometimes necessary and Asus has come up with the path of least resistance to let YOU control that! BestBuy offers a trade in discount and I had a network card no longer used and worth little and received a $45 discount providing the icing on the cake! So why are you paying the cable company to lease their modem FOREVER when you can get this?

I have a multi-gig fiber connection to my home and this WiFi router has allowed me to benefit from those speeds wirelessly. Setup was pretty easy and the interface and app are great. One flaw though… and it’s a big one… if left running for several days the router will suddenly cease working. While it still broadcasts WiFi I am unable to connect to anything. I was able to avoid this issue using the built in automatic restart feature in the router to restart it every night.

I had to buy a new router ASAP because one of my cats chewed on the power cord and shorted something out. I had the Asus GT-AX11000 which was an amazing router in its own right and it had twice the range that this one has. Upgrading to WiFi 7 was not in the plans. What I like is that this router has the 6 gHz band on it. At first, I thought that ALL WiFi 7 routers had that band, but that is not the case. My FireTV stick seems to pick that band automatically and it is very reliable. If I had my choice though, I would prefer to use my other router if it still worked, but this one does the job.

Needed a new Wifi router after my netgear went EOL, I wanted to switch away from NG because their app is *terrible.* Reviews for the Asus line seemed positive and I'm a fan of other Asus products, so gave it a shot. So far so good! There was 1 day last week where the 5G wifi went offline while the non-5g were still active. The app didn't show me any suspicious devices or that my internet had any issues (there wasn't!), and everything came back to normal after a reboot. That's a little worrisome and hopefully that doesn't happen very often, but it did happen within a few weeks of ownership.

Bought this to replace a TP-Link which I just saw on the news that it's a Chinese hack vulnerability and may be banned in the US. This is a more expensive router than what I replaced with but it has upgraded WPA and WiFi 7. Although I don't have any WiFi 7 devices, this makes it easy when I do upgrade other devices that use it. Overall, this seems to be faster than the TP-Link. Setup was fairly easy with the Mesh that I also bought. Download on Wifi is over 500Mbps. I have full signal even outside the house, so range seems good. So far pretty happy. Longevity is an unknown since I have only had it for a few hours.

Purchased this router to stop use of my ISP supplied router/modem combo, and for a last ditch effort to increase speeds before hard wiring devices in my house. This router checked the boxes I was looking for with an app to update and settings, tri-band, warranty, etc. Moving to the setup, it was a breeze. I used the QR code to download the app to my phone, setup took all of 5 minutes. Speeds being produced are excellent as well. My only concern is that my iPhone gives random prompts that this router and connectivity does not support the iCloud private relay function that ios uses right now. Kinda odd.
