"With a 2.5G connection I am seeing download speeds in a 700sq ft apartment of 500mbps at worst and about 1100mbps as best."
"With my old WiFi 6 router, everything worked fine most of the time, but I’d occasionally see spikes when multiple 4K streams from my partner, my cloud backups of video footage for work, and gaming happening simultaneously. With the RT-BE92U, it’s been smooth sailing. ... Even when my partner is streaming a movie in 4K downstairs and I’m uploading files to the cloud, Fortnite stays rock-solid. It’s that stress-free stability that makes the difference. I’m no longer thinking if I should pause a cloud backup or limit a streaming resolution just to keep enjoying a bit of gaming in my downtime."

"Yes, using 3 of these routers in AiMesh configuration with the master and two nodes. All routers are connected via 2.5 GbE backbone, working perfectly with the latest firmware 3.0.0.6.102_37506."
"I followed this method with multiple RT-BE92Us in AIMesh: updated to firmware 37500, then factory reset all devices and reconfigured, then updated in the GUI to 37504 when it was released. Thankfully all is working well, with no thermal errors in the logs, CPU utilisation averaging <30% per core even under load, memory utilisation ~80%, AIProtection, QoS and many other features activated. I've now ordered a third unit for further extending my AIMesh."
"They work in wireless backhaul mode with each other and other AIMesh products. ... I have a RT-BE92U and an RT-AX86U. The RT-AX86U is completely physically disconnected and forms a second node over 5GHz wireless. If I swapped them and wanted the AX to be the primary node, it would also work."

"One feature I appreciate is the ability to set up a dedicated IoT network. Since smart home gadgets like cameras, doorbells, and smart bulbs can be more vulnerable to security issues, keeping them on a separate SSID or VLAN reduces the risk of unwanted access to my main network. The router’s interface makes it easy to create an “IoT-only” Wi-Fi, which keeps everything organized and potentially more secure."
"strong security with built-in VPN support and AiProtection"
"One of the standout perks of the ASUS RT-BE92U is how security-conscious it is, which is crucial if you’re running a bunch of smart home devices or storing sensitive data on your network. ... ASUS integrates a multi-layered security suite with Trend Micro right into the router’s firmware. ... Malicious Site Blocking: Automatically prevents access to known dangerous websites. ... Two-Way IPS (Intrusion Prevention System): Monitors and blocks both incoming and outgoing threats protecting your devices from vulnerabilities. ... Infected Device Detection & Blocking: If any gadget on your network gets compromised, AiProtection isolates it."

"Supports the Merlin custom firmware which allows a bit more customization than OEM default firmware. Probably would be my pick due to that alone."
"ASUS firmware is more complex, gives you more configurability. ... You can use the web UI to configure things the precise way you like it."
"I use Asus routers in my Ai mesh network and it gives me complete control over everything and I've loved it."

"My BE92U router would lock up that I would have to manually reboot it daily and sometimes several times a day because it wouldn't pass WIFI traffic."
"I suffered from random reboots. ... If a router can't stay booted for longer than a few hours, something is seriously wrong."
"it had issues out of the box with causing connection issues for my amazon smart plugs (with 6G enabled) ... the RT-BE92U developed issues with my smart lights and amazon echos, where they would malfunction, and there was no way to fix it, even with a hard factory reset."

"I just bought a BE92u yesterday noon and returned few hours later due to terrible 6G range. ... I was only able to get 100m-150m download speed from 1 floor above it (3-5M away)."
"I can't recommend 6 GHz router especially if it cheap, also if you need mesh network routers should have same specs because I have one router with 6ghz support and second without it and second router is main cause it connected to internet so I can't use 6ghz in mesh network and can only use as separate 6ghz network."
"I bought a new ASUS RT-BE92U WI7 router and my steamdeck won’t even see the 6G band unless I’m right next to it. ... I’ll sit like 10 feet away from it and nothing."

"Doesn't like wifi/ ip cameras on mesh and doesn't like smart home products eg bulbs or speakers. ... I have had to create a separate IoT network for the cameras, bulbs etc as all on 2.4G. ... Then turn off the 2.4ghz radio on the node forcing everything to main router so doesn't disconnect from WiFi."

this router has constasnt connection issues for wan and wireless, you need a reboot everyday. i got one and so far is trash.
r/HomeNetworking • ASUS RT-BE92U WiFi 7 Router review ->I just bought one and used it for two days. It's a 2025 and hardware 1.0 version. It took me an hour phone call with the Support to resolve WAN connection issue to be able to start to use it from the get-go. I have Xfinity. For some reason, 2 out 3 times, the WAN light is red after connecting the cable modem to 10G WAN port. I don't have this issue with my old Google WIFI router. So the Support asked me to unplug cable model for 2 minutes and plug it back on and then log onto Web UI and go through "Quick Internet Setup" to detect connection. After this, WAN issue was resolved. I was able to use it. I updated the firmware to the latest version: 3.0.0.6.102\_37548. Over the last two days, it suddenly rebooted four times. The longest hours it's running so far is 18 hours. I am still researching this rebooting issue. It looks like might be a firmware bug somewhere as I couldn't see anything from system log that would explain the reboots. Whenever it rebooted, I touched the router and it wasn't overheating. I can totally understand why the reviews are so mixed. I will probably have to keep it as it's the only WIFI7 router at $200-$300 that supports 2.4G/5G/6G, VPN, 10G WAN port, 4x2.5G LAN ports, and 5G Mobile tethering...
r/ASUS • Asus RT-BE92U ->FYI - It's been running for more than 5 days now without restarting. I am going to keep it.
r/ASUS • Asus RT-BE92U ->I use Asus aimesh. Using 2 x rt-be92u. My pov and opinion. Very good system overall. Doesn't like wifi/ ip cameras on mesh and doesn't like smart home products eg bulbs or speakers. I have had to create a separate IoT network for the cameras, bulbs etc as all on 2.4G. Then turn off the 2.4ghz radio on the node forcing everything to main router so doesn't disconnect from WiFi. I have one camera which buffers a bit as quite far from main router.
r/HomeNetworking • Traditional router or WiFi Mesh? ->I had x20 3 pack too. I actually thought they were good. It was the subscription to use parental controls that made me ditch them. I went a bit OTT. BOUGHT Asus Rt-be92u x 2. One as router and other as node. Great kit
r/HomeNetworking • WiFi Router Recommendations ->I went rt-be92u x 2 from Asus. It is WiFi 7 however not all devices support it, but you can turn off WiFi 7 mode in app. Now I pay for 950 down (UK) and at node using Samsung Tab S10 Ultra showing WiFi 6E on tablet I'm getting 647 down. Laptop ethernet to node get 812 down. Ping is around 9 on both. You want the best I've heard the newest Orbi devices are supposed to be the dogs dangly bits. I used TP Link X50 mesh before which again is good system. Only reason I ditched it was subscription for parental controls.
r/HomeNetworking • Best Mesh for Wireless Backhaul ->I just received my new BE 92U yesterday and I’ve been troubleshooting the AI mesh issue where my previous AI mesh routers are seen by the new router but are unable to create an AI mesh network. I have done a hard factory reset on all my routers multiple times I’ve been on with tech-support, which is useless nowadays and still nothing right now. I’m just using the one router the RT-BE92U to provide Wi-Fi to my family, but it’s spotty if anyone out there has a good guide on how I can get my AI mesh up and running I’d greatly appreciate it
r/HomeNetworking • Asus RT-BE92u or Netgear RS180? ->I recently got 2 Asus RT-BE92U BE9700 https://amzn.eu/d/elQvYpd and set up in AI mesh using its 10gb network port for wired backhaul. It was a big upgrade from my previous TP Link deco mesh system and I love the asus wrt software. Pretty happy with the purchase so far
r/HomeNetworking • In the market for a new router and looking for recommendations? ->People are disappointed with wifi 7 are disappointed because TP link rushed out devices that were not ready for market, and have a high hardware failure rate. All the other manufacturers rushed to compete, and reliability and features are lacking. I tried a wifi router from TP Link, Netgear, and Asus. They were all garbage in one way another. The TP Link (BE19000) was great until it just died, couldn't hold a signal after 2 months. The Netgear(RS600 and rest of RS line) forces you into a paid DNS service if you want to run a VPN on it, the Asus RT-BE92U has a horrendous UI and firmware that crashed it daily as well as micro connection drops regularly.

r/HomeNetworking • Wifi 7 Routers - reviewed & compared ->I'm holding you accountable—if I upgrade to firmware 37500 and still experience drops, you’re on the hook! 😉 I own three of these routers, originally running the 36xxx firmware, and I can confidently say: this is hands down the worst router I’ve ever owned. It didn’t matter what settings I changed, how many hard resets I did—at some point, everything would lose connectivity. No rhyme, no reason, just a 100% guarantee that every single device would eventually drop. The best part? After going in circles with ASUS support and getting absolutely nowhere, my return window closed. So now, these bad boys are serving as glorified paperweights. If this firmware actually fixes the issues, I’ll be thrilled—but if not, I’ll stick with my EEROs, which, despite their lack of advanced config options, are the best damn Wi-Fi devices I’ve ever used.
r/HomeNetworking • ASUS RT-BE92U WiFi 7 Router review ->Appreciate the detailed reply! Just to clarify, I'm now on **firmware 3.0.0.6.102\_37506** and did the full **WPS hard reset on all three BE92Us** after updating. Everything was set up from scratch — no imported settings. Here’s what happens **every time**, across three firmware versions and full resets: * **Day 1**: Everything runs great — fast, stable, all devices connected, and cameras working. * **By Day 2 or 3**: * Random **reboots** * **Devices drop offline**, wired and wireless * **Security cameras completely stop working** and **never come back**, even with reboots * **Web UI becomes unreachable**, and I have to **physically unplug** everything I’ve also rotated which router is primary, swapped nodes, and rebuilt AiMesh — same result. Here’s everything I’ve **disabled or adjusted** trying to fix it: * Airtime Fairness * QoS * Traffic Analyzer * Universal & Explicit Beamforming * MU-MIMO * IPv6 * DFS channels (avoided) * SPI Firewall (tested on/off) * AiProtection * Game Boost & related * WiFi Radar/Auto Optimization * USB services * **Manually optimized WiFi channels based on analyzer, and also tested Auto** Even with **2.5 GbE wired backhaul**, the system fails within 48 hours. Cameras never recover past Day 1. So while **37506 is more stable than previous versions**, **it’s still unusable for me**. I’ve had to unplug everything and go back to EEROs, which just work. If ASUS drops a real fix in future firmware, I’ll give it a try. But for now, **it’s still a no-go**. Appreciate you trying to help though!
r/HomeNetworking • ASUS RT-BE92U WiFi 7 Router review ->You need to get the latest beta firmware to solve these 2. However, the Wi-Fi would still be disconnected occasionally even using beta firmware.
r/HomeNetworking • ASUS RT-BE92U WiFi 7 Router review ->This is a terrible router. Mine drops signal several times a day. Sometimes multiple times an hour. In every room in the house. Even right next door. Terrible product. Never had this issue with the stock cable company router.
r/HomeNetworking • ASUS RT-BE92U WiFi 7 Router review ->ASUS, got better UI on the app as well. I used to have Netgear
r/HomeNetworking • Asus RT-BE92u or Netgear RS180? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
