3.0.0.6.102_36741 firmware
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Complete reset and a 3.0.0.6.102_36736 firmware fixed all my issues, no issues wiht aple devices now . Didnt see a drop in connection for a week now
I would recommend this to a friend Expensive lemon, buyer beware.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this system 6 months ago and have had to reset the routers to factory defaults multiple times. It will work fine for a while, then become unstable forcing me to redo the entire network. This last week I noticed one of the nodes had a significant reduction in signal strength. I factory reset it but it looks like it’s permanently broken and won’t connect to anything more that a few feet away. I will be replacing it under warranty so I’m hoping all goes well, but other reviews suggest it will not. Regardless, I would not recommend this or any other ASUS router to a friend and I will be avoiding this manufacturer in the future.

Posted .Dear Jason,
Thank you for your comment.
We do understand your disappointment with these Mesh routers and the inconvenience this may have caused if you are started experiencing connection problems after 6 months of usage. To resolve the unstable connection, please verify if the router’s security settings still matches with your ISP’s modem credentials, verify 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. If resetting the node did not resolve the issue,, we recommend updating the Mesh router firmware if it is running with an older version. Firmware is available for download at: https://www.asus.com/us/networking-iot-servers/whole-home-mesh-wifi-system/zenwifi-wifi-systems/asus-zenwifi-be30000/helpdesk_bios?model2Name=ASUS-ZenWiFi-BE30000.Additionally, checl the LED or activity lights on your ISP's modem to determine if your ISP's modem is working properly.
Should you need further assistance with the product, please email me at [email protected] 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/.
Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.

Probably the best WiFi 7 mesh system in the market
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The signal strength is much better than the GT-AX11000 plus the setup is very easy.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat Hardware Firmware needs some polish.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent hardware. But firmware still requires some polish. Specifically dns over tls is currently broken. If you enable dns resolution fails consistently and knocks devices offline till rebooted.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Asus seems to have a bad habit of making their early adopters beta testers. And for 1800$(after tax) you shouldn't have to be. We replaced a 7 year old Orbi system with this(or tried to) and after 4 weeks of pure hell we have returned it. Initially, the issue was that the Rokus wouldnt stay connected to the 5.8ghz network. Ok, problem was it used DFS and would keep switching the 5.8mhz channel from a legacy one to a DFS one(roku and many other devices do not support DFS). Router should be smart enough to detect this and not switch, but isnt, so lets turn DFS off. Next, 2.4ghz devices such a wyze cameras and switches, and Sonos streamers wouldn't stay connected. The Asus showed then as being connected to the 6ghz band. Not sure how that works, but ok.... After trial and error, discovered that for them to have a stable connection, BOTH MLO and wifi 7 had to be turned off. Ok, thats 2 more features i boutht his system for that i have to turn off to make it compatible with legacy devices. Finally, and this was the bridge too far(literally) one of the nodes stopped connecting all together. They both would drop and reconnect seeveral times a day, but the one THAT USED AN ETHERNET CABLE for backhaul would no longer connect. At all. Reset, reboot, etc, no luck. The hub showed that it's WAN port was in use, but the satellite wouldn't connect. So, back to the store it goes. BIG thank you to BB fro accepting the return past 14 days, although it sounded like this wasnt the first one. The employee even commented "must be a known thing, the printer spit out a 'recycle' label, so it's gotta go back to Asus". The entire time i'm having issues with the router, i'm calling Asus, submitting feedback & logs thru the link on the routers page. Nothing is more frustrating that calling tech support and talking with someone who seems to know less about the product than you do. Seriously, if all tech support is going to do is read scripts that don't even address the issue im having, then why even have them? Cut the department and knock $50 off the price. Ridiculous. Asus offereded to RMA the unit, but all inidications (Except the backhaul connection issue) appeared to be development/firmware related, not hardware. I'm not paying 1800$ to be a beta tester, and i'm not going to wait however long it may take for the bugs to get worked out. THIS SYSTEM IS NOT READY FOR THE CONSUMER YET. DO NOT BUY. I'm sure in 6 months or a year down the road it will be great, but right now, it's not ready and all you are buying with this is one massive headache.

Not ready for Prime Time
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have the Asus ZenWifi Pro AXE1000 6E (ET12) and after a challenging set up, it has worked flawlessly. I bought this wifi 7 system, and my experience couldn’t have been more different. Like the 6E wifi system, it was challenging to add 2 nodes to the system. However, the major frustrations occurred when I could not connect certain devices after numerous attempts. I also had numerous connection drops during my first 48 hours of ownership. For $1800, I expect near flawless performance so I returned it to BestBuy.

Excellent Hardware
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking through various options for routers and came across this one. I’ve always been a fan of Asus products. I didn’t know this one existed and tried it. It was very easy to set up able blazing fast!
I would recommend this to a friend Read and believe the bad reviews
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a horrible purchase. I returned this after 2 days of utter frustration. I have another mesh system from a different manufacturer, but I wanted to upgrade to a WiFi 7 system. I should have believed the reviews that said this Asus system was not ready for prime time. I tried the system with both wireless and wired backhaul. I also updated to the latest firmware. I performed several factory resets and reinstalls. No matter what I did, the nodes constantly dropped, and clients never remained connected. This was quite literally the worst wireless system I have ever used. I will never buy another Asus wireless product after this experience. I can’t believe Asus released this product. But I should have just believed the reviews. Needless to say, I went back to my old system and have had zero issues with it. If you’re an Asus fan for some reason, at least wait until they fix this mess at some point with a future firmware update (or a recall). Untill then, save your $1700.

Do not buy if you have Apple products
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you own any Apple products, do not buy. 1. It doesn't work as a mesh for Apple products; if they disconnect from one node and connect to another, they show as connected to WiFi but can't reach the internet. This is a known bug; their web site says to turn off SmartConnect. But the BE30000 firmware does not have the capability to turn off SmartConnect, so you are just stuck. 2. Their technical support is truly abysmal. If you call, they will start with "did you reboot it?" and "does it have the latest firmware?". If the answer to both is yes, then they just say they have to escalate it and second-line customer support will handle. I called 5 times over the course of a month and second-line technical support never ever contacted me back. 3. (Small nit). The dual-WAN does work, *but* it has no way to notify you that it switched WAN. My alternate WAN charges by the MB, so I need to know. Even simple equipment like the $200 Peplink has this notification capability built-in.

Not ready for the job. Bad reviews are accurate
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Five months of wrestling with this Asus wireless router mesh has left me questioning my loyalty to the brand. It’s like waiting for a miracle firmware update that never comes, while each reboot is a suspense thriller—will it connect or won’t it? Spoiler alert: it usually doesn’t, at least not without a lengthy intermission. Support is as elusive as a unicorn, leaving you with high blood pressure and lower patience. Save your health and invest in a router that doesn’t require a PhD in patience or a lottery win to connect to the internet.

Even after updating router/nodes to latest firmware and ensuring a wired backhaul, the nodes randomly would drop connection, switch to wireless or sometimes disconnect completely.

Posted .Dear Nbhargava,
Thank you for your comment.
We do understand your disappointment with the product and the inconvenience this may have caused if you are experiencing unstable or weak signal strength. To resolve the weak signal, place the routers 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. Also, we recommend updating the Mesh router firmware if it is running with an older version. Firmware is available for download at: https://www.asus.com/us/networking-iot-servers/whole-home-mesh-wifi-system/zenwifi-wifi-systems/asus-zenwifi-be30000/helpdesk_bios?model2Name=ASUS-ZenWiFi-BE30000. Furthermore, check if the routers' security credentials matches with your ISP's modem credentials. Check if the PC or device connecting to the routers is working properly and within range to the routers, the routers' are 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 WIFI6e or WIFI7, please 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 [email protected] 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/.
