Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the RT-BE96U BE19000 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 Router's exceptional speed, extended range, and overall performance. Many find it easy to set up and appreciate its strong signal strength and wide coverage.

    Used as a mesh system but it was too inconsistent and caused many issues with data speeds. Was getting 50 MBPS down out of 2 Gig and bought 2 to use as a mesh system

    Bought this and net gear, one going to my daughters. This was so easy to set up, the range omg, love the range of this thing. Packing was a little over the top. But least it shows it was cared for. I stream a lot ! I was happy with the streaming. I have many devices over 80 and it gave me troubles once I got over 50. That is reason for the 4 star, of range is a issue this is wonderful, if banging the many devices like me eh not sure

    Must Wait For Better

    1) ASUS DO NOT MENTION OS VERSION. UNSTABLE OS SOFTWARE , NEVER UPDATE IT FEATURES. DO NOT WORK. FOR INSTANCE FTP HAS BUG, AICLOUD HAS BUG AND PARENTAL CONTROL AS WELL AND OTHERS FEATURES TOO. 2) NEVER MENTION USB SPEED. SUPER SLOW USB SPEED DATA TRANSFER. ALL ROUTERS HAVE UNSTABLE WIFI CONNECTION. 2GB OF MEMORY WOW SUPER LOW ON MEMORY AND MEMORY SPEED SHOULD BE DD5. YOU WILL ALWAYS SUFFER FROM ROUTER AUTO REBOOTING AND DISCONNECTION. REMEMBER WHEN A COMPUTER IS LOW ON MEMORY IT WILL FREEZE AND DO OTHE BAD BEHAVIOR THE SAME HAPPENS WITH ALL THESE WIFI ROUTERS. THEY ARE CHEATING ON THE CUSTOMER FOR SELLING SOMETHING THAT DO NOT WORK CORRECTLY. IF YOU WANT TRY IT AND YOU WILL SEE. 3) CUSTOMER SUPPORT DOES NOT HELP AT ALL. YOU ARE ON YOUR ON. 4) NEED BETTER SECURITY LIKE DEVICE CONNECTION 2 FACTOR AUTHENTICATION

    Number of connected devices 64. Where does this information come from? I can find no mention of this limitation anywhere in any other reviews or production information. I could not ask this question anywhere else including with Asus. Please provide more information and I will update or remove this review.

    Trash

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

    Unstable garbage garbage like every single other router Asus makes. All special features have to be disabled for it to work at all, when it does work it stops working five minutes later. This is the 4th Asus router I have owned and they are all garbage on both stock and CFW. All or half clients drop off after few days and the router needs to be rebooted to make it work again. Prone to Russian virus attacks. All around piece of trash that is completely unreliable and unstable. Good luck if you rely on Asus network products for security cameras and other smart security devices. It is worse that having nothing at all The software looks slick but it is full of bugs and the routers is an unstable piece of crap

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

    Bought two ASUS RT-BE96U routers. Running one of the routers in AP mode. So far it has been running without a single reboot for twenty days. The wifi signal is strong and consistent all over the place with 65 devices sharing.
