ASUS RT-BE92U BE9700 Tri-Band WiFi 7 Router, Supports New Bandwidth of 320MHz and 4096 QAM Detection, MLO, AI-WAN, AiMesh Support, Subscription-Free Network Security and Complete

DECEMBER 2025 UPDATE! Waited 6 months. Bought again, @ Staples. FINALLY, appeared that the bugs have been conquered. Wickedly fast, idle CPU, the 2.5 ports are such a bonus. Finally, finally, (1000 finallys)... seems like Asus has conquered the early bugs. Rock solid now. ---- JUNE 2025 ORIGINAL review: I am HUGE asus router fan, I have had ASUS routers for more years than I can remember. I really wanted to love this new model. Sort of a reasonable price point to get into Wifi 7. I bought but had to return. I even then got the inkling to try again, thinking maybe my first try was a lemon. Bought new from Staples, but same thing, had to return. It's very hard to put a finger on, it's just inherently not very reliable. I had been running RT-AX86U x 2, wired, which is always solid has a rock. Before those, AC86U. The CPU cores under the Status table, their utilization is definitely higher than any other ASUS router I have ever had. Whereas normally flatlining around 0%.. .these appear more frothy. Even when router is idle. It just feels like ASUS has an immature round of WIFI 7 devices out right now. I'm sure their next models will be amazing. I ended up on 2 X RT-AXE7800 and despite being older, that firmware by now is tried and true. And they are CRAZY rock solid in my mesh at home. 1 floor and 30 feet apart, back haul rates of 2800 on 5GHZ. I have a feeling the RT-BE92U has some hardware problem out of the box, that they have mitigated some with software updates. The staples one did that 100% CPU core pin thing that everybody talks about, right out of the box, before first firmware update. ASUS, please give us a Wifi 7 workhorse that is as famed-solid as the RT-AX86U.

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.

very nice the vpn from sharksurf is compatable and good

What can I say about this non functional router? This unit would NOT connect up to my modem in any way. Not even manually. Not like this is the first ASUS routers I have owned, as I have used (and still do at another location) AC86u and AC68, both doing a yeoman job of routing lots of data. But this abomination of a router is simply not worth the money. I purchased one that connected but the 6 gz channel didn't work. Returned it. Replaced it with another one- wouldn't connect to modem. I set it up downstream as a "double NAT" just to check it out. Speed was OK but the radio didn't work still. Used multiple devices to detect it to no avail. Returned that one. 3rd unit- still wouldn't see my modem so at that point I gave up and returned it also. Cautiously purchased a GL-MT6000 (GL.NET) and hoped for the best. Fewer bells and whistles but very functional and reliable. Recognized my modem instantly and off I went. Be aware that ASUS has been dropping in quality steadily for quite a while. Check out ASUS forums and see how unhappy people are with their products AND support. I hope that they will wake up and turn their ship around and rediscover the quality that they once had and build products that actually work again. Good Luck.
