Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was a little reluctant to purchase this router because of price and wifi 7 not being finalized. I'm more than happy i purchased it though. Its brain dead easy to set up and works extremely well. My old wifi i would only get 200-300 mb/s on my Google Pixel 7pro but with the new asus router it jumped to 1.2 gb/s. My network has anywhere from 15-25 wifi devices running at a time without a single issue. The app gives so much control over what the router can and cannot do. Very much worth the price.

WiFi 7 hasn’t been finalized yet, but despite that this router incredibly fast, with our iPhone 15 Pro’s getting 1.4-.1.6 Gbps on the 6 GHz radio, while our iPads and MacBook Pro’s hitting 940 Mbps on the 5 GHz radio even while streaming 4K video and doing backups to a network drive. It also handles our 50+ devices with amazing ease. Definitely worth it.

Excellent router. Great coverage. Plethora of configuration options. Only negative is the size.

Definitely fast when it comes to my wifi 6/6E products. The issue is it drops out. It doesn't stay connected to the app. I can't log in on my desk top. I've done factory resets. Still doesn't work. Made sure all updates was done. Thinking of returning it and just waiting for the next model. Maybe all the bugs will be worked out.

Got this as an upgrade for an Asus Be7200, but after installation I didn’t get the bump in speed, distance, number of devices, that I expected when upgrading, so I returned the expensive Be96U. The BE7200 has been a great main router, so I am sticking with it.

Overall it brings great speed at distance, I needed something to reach my Tesla outside so it could finish updates. Job well done, Asus!

I have been using this connected to my Quantum Fiber C6500XK using 10Gbps Ethernet. It does a much better job of covering my house than my old router. I have not used the mesh feature yet. It is important to use it in AP mode with the C6500XK, as the C6500XK is a router without WiFi or even an Ethernet switch.

Upgraded due to my previous Nighthawk AX11000 deciding to quit on me. I have only 1 complaint- the packaging is overkill. So many plastic clings to peel from the router (each antenna has multiple). I think getting all the plastic off took longer than plugging in and completing setup entirely. Performance is top notch. Local data transfers fly now! The setups available for multiple guest sub networks are fantastic. Worth the money- buy it!

Excellent device! Easy to set up easy to use and it's very fast and powerful. Easy to add MESH routers too!

Very fast router. After setting it up as the primary router in an AI mesh system, it continually dropped its Internet connection. I really liked this router but it could not reach all areas of my 2100 sq. ft. townhouse. I need a mesh system for my use case. This didn't work for that application so I returned it.

Ver fast speeds but there's a bug where you cannot accept the privacy policy in the router setup so need to return this one

Big sophisticated looking contraption, with 8 ample antennas to give your home a super boost in WiFi signals, Ethernet signal. I do not have many devices that are even 6E compatible but knowing my new $2k iPad will definitely be able to hook up to this router, and to be tested. Price is a killa, which made me think multiple times, and a bunch of reviews before I took the plunge. Due to the price, not many adopters, hence reviews are not too many as well, but I thought I could help potential buyers shed some light. Product is rock solid, so far the processor within the router is quick in handling all processing requirements for the router. Former Asus routers, would hiccup sometimes, when you try to use the app to login. However, have not seen a bad delay, nor will it stall. If you have setup routers in the past, I would encourage you to use the web based cloud page and not the Asus app. Just replace the router's old WAN and your computer you are trying to configure this new router with at the back of the Ethernet ports. Go to the web link provided in the Quick Start guide. Tested speeds on multiple games, and seeing a nearly double download and upload speeds. So far, no restart yet. For my former Asus router, I needed to schedule a reboot every night, so that it could continue to perform amicably. When you start adding devices into you home, turning your home a fully automated smart home, one essential device people tend to skip is the heart of all your networking system, your router. Finally, all my smart devices are able to get the bandwidth, and strong connection signal that they deserve. Will update as I go, maybe with a comment if I am not able to edit this review.

Couldn’t test WiFi 7, but got WiFi 6E, it couldn’t connect to 5ghz 160mhz wide channels with a device, it could only do that at 6ghz. I tested it against the tp link be95 and that could connect to a WiFi 6E device on the 5ghz 160mhz wide channel. Also, single gigabit ports after the 10gig ports at this price range is funny

I'm going to keep this short and sweet. Basically it improved my Wi-Fi reliability by a ton! I'm upgrading from Wi-Fi 6 and that router was failing for some strange reason. I tried a couple of mesh routers with Wi-Fi 7 and I cannot get them to work properly for gaming. I figured a single connection point would work better and so far my theory appears to be true because this single point of connection spin throughout my entire house without issue and gives me the speed I need.

I am decidedly not a fan of Asus Routers. I have two Rt-BE96u routers. The first one just... idk. No clue. Lights, camera, no action. The second one does great wifi with my phone, nothing else follows. Won't connect to my laptop, wifi or ethernet cable. Too many names passwords accounts asus accounts, router acounts, app accounts, wifi name etc etc. No clue what of the many many things goimg as to why these things are so confusing. Pretty much totally sick of Asus routers after about $1500 dumped into three routers for a Mind blowing head ache! Oh it works fine if it works.

After review of multiple brands and models BE96U won. To my surprise the first one died few days after it was installed. The replacement was very easy and has worked flawlessly. when I went to pick up the second router the price had dropped nearly $200, because of a sale. Could not be happier with the Best Buy service, ASUS router's performance and of course a little extra cash.

Great wifi 7 specs it same as asus be98 with out the xtra 6 hz wifi .The cpu is the same witch maters for wifi proccess.Make sure if u have comcast internet get cm3000 modem or coda56 modem

I bought this router and I'm not that happy. Issue 1 it says it covers upto 5400 SQFT my house is close to 4K and some part of the house don't have enough signal. Next issue is thought I have 3 SIDs (2.4, 5 and 6GHZ) none of my latest devices see the 6GHZ SID. I have a Service req with ASUS Service No=N2401006825-0012 but nothing happens every other day some rep will send a mail saying that they are still working on it. For charging $700 it is suppose to work from the day 1 unfortunately that's not the case. I have a 5years old TPLink triband router I think that beats this one hands down. Since I missed the 14day Bestbuys (That sucks) return widow I have a 700 dollars brick.

Ease of use and setup. Distance of Wi-Fi coverage. No lag. Built in VPN for safety. No issues with multiple users on even while gaming.

The performance of the box is amazing when it works. At close range i am reaching 3500mbps with sonic 10gig fiber. The best out of many "10" gig routers ive tried. HOWEVER i have had to reboot it daily to fix connection issues. I would suggest trying the Netgear wifi 7 routers or the Eero 7
