I continue to have to restart all three of the routers. Constantly loses connection and has been more of a hassle than anything. Probably going to something else soon if something doesn’t change.
We do understand your disappointment with the product and the inconvenience this may have caused if you are experiencing connection problem. To resolve the unstable connection, please verify 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 by a network cable, and ISP's internet service or connection is working properly or stable. Additionally, check if the security credential of the routers matches with your ISP's modem/gateway security informations. Legacy devices may not work properly with WIFI-6 and WIFI-7, please check updates for these device. Try connecting these manually to either 2.4GHz or 5GHz. Also we recommend updating the Mesh routers firmware if it running with an older version. Firmware is available for download at: https://www.asus.com/us/supportonly/zenwifi%20be5000/helpdesk_bios/. Fruthermore, place it in a central location within your home, away from walls and obstructions, keep it elevated off the floor and away from electronic devices that may cause interference. 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.

These are very easy to set up and the coverage and connectability is very close to perfect. I like the frint end coverage that comes with the units. The size and color blend well with a number of setups. The boost in coverage going from 6e to 7 is very noticable.

This is hands down the worst router ive had to setup and just ended up returning it. Multiple problems during setup, the main issue being that the main node(router) wouldnt get internet access from spectrum modem. Was on the phone with spectrum for over an hour and they said it wasnt their fault then i called asus support for over an hour and eventuslly after having to clone my mac address onto the main node it finally got internet. After this happened one of the other nodes decided to stop responding so i did a system restart and of course back to square one with no internet. I that point just packed up the box and returned it. I wouldnt reccomend this product to anyone, please save yourself the time and massive headache.

Does not play friendly with Xfinity

It was much harder than my old Orbi systems to set up. I understand it is not difficult but I kind of expect plug and play at this point. Make sure you update firmware before setup and direct ethernet in to clone MAC address. It was very unstable and my old two node Orbi had much better coverage. My house is older and is made mostly of brick so I figured three nodes would be an upgrade, it was not. Stability issues, then completely dropping service overnight multiple times. And yes I had Xfinity come out there were absolutely no problems on their end or my modem just the router. I swapped 3 different modem setups and same issues occurred. Might be just an Xfinity with this router issue but it was a terrible experience and will stay away from ASUS routers.

It has its flaws just like anything else. When it works it works fantastic and great.
I actually lose my internet more times at the router itself and not the hubs. Overall pretty satisfied with it.

Appeared to be a good deal at a glance but when i found out several features were missing from this setup i ended up returning it to the store. How can it be Wi-Fi 7 but be missing the 6ghz band from 6e? Was not an upgrade from my WiFi 6 Orbi system that I've had for several years! Also it only has 2 cat plug is on each router box so you can't hardwire hardly anything , making the slow Wi-Fi inevitable. I'd avoid unless you want slow Internet, even if it is cheap!

Works until it doesn't.... pretty much daily

I work in IT. I like the amount of control and the security features. The system works well until it stops working pretty much every day. The IoT SSID disconnects all clients. It may be all clients on the 2.4GhZ frequency. The only resolution I have found is to fully restart the system. I tried to get support through Asus, and they told me to get support from Best Buy, who wanted to send a tech out and charge me $150.
I will likely be returning the whole setup and going with some other manufacturer.

We were having issues with accessing internet throughout our home. We had a Net Gear Extender but was not sufficient. Then our Son who is a IT person suggested we purchase this system for our home. Best purchase we made now no problem accessing the internet anywhere inside or outside of our home. Highly suggest this.

Works pretty well and the Asus app is pretty nice compared to others. So far it works well, but I need to get my fiber moved to my office so my computers on the LAN runs a bit faster. I use VPN for work and it's quite slow and I do not like to work at that pace.

Worked without issue for 18 days (Bestbuy return window is 15 days, of course). Then randlomly got red light, indicating internet disconnected. Fixed issue by doing factory reset. Happened again after a week. Able to fix this time by unplugging ethernet cable, then power cycling modem. Worked for another 2 weeks. Bought another set of the same exact BE5000 routers just to see if the ones i had were faulty. Same issue with the second set thankfully the others failed within a week, so i was able to return. Calling Asus is no help, ive been waiting for them to supposedly find a replacement to send me for 3 months.
