I got this router cheap, but it was used in "like new" condition. This turned out to mean that the manual was missing and the router was not even reset after it was returned. I think this model might also have come with some sort of coupon for a complimentary VPN subscription, but if so it was missing as well. I would advise people not to get this router used. I was hesitating to pull the trigger on this one because I see some people complain about getting dud units that don't work, or have very poor range. Luckily my used unit wasn't returned because of that. This is my third or fourth Asus router I've purchased over the years, so I made do without the manual when resetting it and then setting it up. It came with a very recent firmware, so it was returned relatively recently. It has a lot of bells and whistles, out of which I need to use almost none: I need this router as an access point only. Asus routers make awesome access points, they all have pretty powerful radios. So first impression was that this router is smaller than the unit it replaced (a very old ASUS AC3200 - looks like a giant spider with 6 sprawled legs on my wall). On powering it on, I noted that it doesn't have the range of my old router. The range is by no means poor, it is just somewhat less. Also, the interface is almost the same as the one on the AC3200, so I was up and running in about 10 minutes. I set up two independent Wifi networks - a standalone 2.4Ghz one set up for legacy devices on WPA2, and a Wifi-7-enabled 5Ghz/6Ghz one with band steering on WPA2/WPA3 dedicated for laptops and newer devices. I quickly realized that even though some of my older laptops can handle the 5Ghz band on WPA2, they don't run reliably on the Wifi7 network - the laptop would remain connected, but the traffic would suddenly cut off until I reconnect. I haven't investigated why that is, maybe this has nothing to do with the router itself. I decided not to bother and just changed the Wifi7 network to WPA3-only so all the older laptops would reconnect to the legacy network, where they run a bit slower, but do stay connected. The router came with a wall-mount bracket, which I made use of immediately. My router is happily hanging on the wall and the range, while less, still covers everywhere I need. My older Asus routers lasted about 3-4 years in this configuration with minimal issues: after that devices started having problems connecting to it and it had to be reset regularly so it would continue to function. My trusty old AC3200 had basically bricked itself from use when I finally retired it. Now all my devices are back online. Asus routers make great and fast access points, just not very reliable ones in the long term. I am now good for another 3-or-so years until I find something better. Read more

I’ve been chasing the dream of truly flawless wireless VR for years, and with the Asus RT-BE92U paired to my Meta Quest 3, I think I’ve finally found it. From the moment I set it up, the RT-BE92U impressed me with its Wi-Fi 7 speed, ultra-low latency, and rock-solid stability. I mainly dedicate it to my VR headset or gaming...no smart TVs, no phones, no IoT clutter and the difference was night and day. The router’s Multi-Link Operation (MLO) and strong 6 GHz performance meant my Quest 3 could stream PC VR content without a single hiccup. In Beat Saber, where every millisecond counts, the experience was nothing short of magical. No stutters, minimal or no compression artifacts just crisp visuals and instant controller response. Even during the most intense Expert+ runs, the connection stayed buttery smooth, letting me focus entirely on the rhythm and flow instead of worrying about lag. The RT-BE92U’s beamforming and high-gain antennas seem tailor-made for VR play spaces. I could move freely around my room without signal drops, and the router handled the constant high-bitrate stream like it was nothing. If you’re serious about wireless PC VR and want to unlock the full potential of your Meta Quest 3, dedicating an Asus RT-BE92U to the task is a game-changer. For me, it turned Beat Saber from “great” into “flawless.” In addition, the RT-BE92U was recently added to support Merlin Firmware which can help extend features and allow tinkering outside the official firmware...For nerds like me who like to tinker and can leverage the open source code, it gives me flexibility and room to fully customize my router for my specific needs.

The reviews are right - this router is bad. My previous ASUS rt-ac86u has been perfect, but not this one (rt-be92u). I bought another ASUS because everyone says the backup files are universal - so that would save me a lot of reloading settings time. Well, they were wrong. It acts like it's taking the settings file, then nothing. Blank as a hard reset. So I hard reset it again and configured it manually. It has some quirks that should be noted. NO VLAN. They do give you a way to segment IOT stuff with some kind of proprietary software. I didn't really see if I could look upwards to my main network to see how isolated it was, so I'll take their word for it for now. The one (of many) CRITICAL FLAW in this router is that the isolated IOT network is WIFI devices ONLY! So if you have etherneted devices (roku, etc) then they CANNOT BE ADDED to the IOT network. So, basically pointless. You need the VLAN tab in the setup (which doesn't exist for this router) to be able to assign 1 of the lan ports as the IOT network - then a switch and all your ethernet devices into that.. Second CRITICAL FLAW is the constant reboots. I think this thing is set to search for firmware and "security" updates daily - you can pick the time - but it seems to just ignore that and do it whenever it feels like it. Once it does - all connections are dropped as it restarts. Probably really secure - but really annoying when you are trying to watch live TV and, wheel of death, until it restarts. I've had it do that multiple times a day and I've only had it 5 days. I'm not bothering with ASUS again. Sad, because their routers have been really good for a while. Read more

Was skeptical about purchasing this router... Setup was easy as the Asus app is very easy to use. On the routers initial firmware from the box...it is reluctant to disconnect you from the internet but, with latest firmware update...the router is steady and can easily handle multiple wired and wireless connections. I do have several streaming devices (10) including gaming and especially I am able to work from home without any disconnection issues from a server. Asus MLO feature was the initial culprit issue... it was included on the bandwidth and many of the devices just aren't ready for 6g or wifi7. If you are on the fence about this router...don't be. It is awesome and very customizable. You can disable MLO or disable wifi7 or disable 6g... and then use it when you want or when devices catch up to wifi7 or 6g. The latest firmware update included a check box to MLO under the Professional tab to allow the user to uncheck the option to include or dis-include the 6g band...user also has the option to separate the bands (smart connect). I hope that this review helps those wondering about this issue. It is the users fault as to why this router has bad reviews...the router is powerful and is awesome and is fully customizable as is all of ASUS products...not limited or generic. User has the choice as to what the routers capabilities are and what the router is being used for...goal of the user. Read more

I have to return the router as its connectivity is extremely unstable in my case. My situation: I live in a stacked townhouse (two floors) with Bell 3 Gbps service; I have 5-6 devices, non of which can support Wifi 7 (best can do Wifi 6E). I use the router as AP to enhance wifi coverage and get my place ready for any future wifi 7 device. The router's signal is strong enough to cover my entire home (when it works) but my phone and computer would frequently lose connection without any reason, particularly when I resume my phone/pc, change location from the first floor (where the router is) to the second, or start a heavy load downloading/uploading. I have to reconnect wifi multiple times a day; the speed is better when newly connected but gets worse as I use. I tried troubleshooting and did some research. With this router, many have complained about similar problems and warned that tri-band/wifi 7 is very new and still requires constant improvement. I've also tried different setup, e.g., turn off wifi 7 mode, turn off roaming assistant... to improve stability, but the problem persisted. So be ware of the challenges embracing new technologies.

GOSH, I wish I could cuss on Amazon reviews! I hate myself for doubting the reviews. Everywhere you look, it’s 80% bad, 20% saying "user error." I should’ve listened. I wanted to future-proof with WiFi 7, but forget it. DON’T BUY. Yes, ASUS makes great products and a lot of people love them, but their customer support is absolutely horrendous. The support folks kept asking me if the router was near a microwave. I was like, GEEZ, I’m not talking about weak signal!!!! It keeps rebooting randomly!!! I work in IT. First thing you check? Logs. ASUS said submit them, so I did, three times over a month. No response. When I called back, the new rep had no idea what I was talking about. I had to pitch a fit just to escalate. The escalation rep was “nicer,” but while I waited (and missed the Amazon return window), ASUS kept dragging this out..... and still never reviewed my logs. Unreal. It’s clear now: companies don’t want to pay real tech support for a $250 product. Easier to offer a refurb and move on. But I’m not accepting a refurbished unit when I bought it brand new and it’s been broken since day one. ASUS does make excellent routers, some of them. But this model is just bad. It should be pulled from the market. The reviews are right, and I’m mad at myself for not listening. This router was dropping my video calls during meetings. I eventually had to buy a second router out of pocket just to keep working. I finally turned to Asurion for help, and even that was hard, they needed a denial or service letter, but ASUS wouldn’t provide one. Because the manufacturer’s warranty came first, Asurion technically couldn’t step in unless ASUS "finished" their support, which meant taking their garbage refurb. I told them: So what? I’m stuck with two routers now? This makes no sense. Thankfully, Asurion made an exception. Never used them before and didn’t know if buying their protection plan was worth it BUT it absolutely is. ASUS makes solid products when they work, but if anything goes wrong, you’re on your own. Read more

So far so good! I got this for my home network wanted something full-featured without the subscriptions. My previous device would stutter and take a while for the decent picture when watching youtube and netflix. I hooked this up behind my ISP firewall (currently doublenatting) and notice the speeds are great I can stream music, while wife on video conference call and I can run a speed test with my phone all at the same time with no interruptions! My last firewall would stutter when I launched a new application from another device on occasion. I like that I can check status from my phone. I just set this up a few minutes ago so still playing with the settings. I did have an issue not able to log into the device after I changed the Wifi Password, should not be related but affected my login. I had to power cycle the device and then it all came back. I am using the USB port by connecting it to a spare 4 tb Hard Drive where I keep my music and back up files. So far everything is working well. Wi-fi speeds are decent. Most of my gear runs wifi 6 and MIMO, backwards compatibility is not an issue.. I have not tested any of the filters. The wall mount a bit flimsy but it works but hard to hide the wires, Wish the USB port was at a different angle, so it does not push the bottom out when mounted on the wall.. I worked for 24 years with Cisco network devices and firewalls, this was easy to set up, has a help on each menu and a setup wizard. It then lets you go pretty granular into the settings. I think they did a nice job on this one. Asus is from Taiwan not mainland China so hopefully it does not leak data. Read more
