Do not buy this router at any cost. I bought this model in September last year to pair it with other Asus nodes, which I used for over 2 years. From day 1, it kept dropping connections between nodes and devices, so I thought it might be a firmware issue. I tried a couple of different firmwares, but the issue was resolved only partially and never fully. A couple of weeks after the initial install, my internet became so unstable that it randomly drops out at any time. I tried many suggestions from Reddit and other forums, and most people have the same issue I do. Finally, I decided to install Open Merlin firmware, and it worked for a few days before the same issues started again. Unfortunately, by this time, I was out of my return window, so I wasted $200. I ended up getting another Asus router, which is working with minimal issues.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Which ASUS router did you buy that ended up working well?

Honestly, I love Asuswrt- Merlin compared to stock firmware, and after trying 2 different stock firmware, I was having same issues, so I ended up installing Asuswrt- Merlin, and it was good for couple of weeks and then same issues started. I spent many hours to fix, but failed, so I think there may be hardware problem.

I don't expect Merlin to be any more stable than the stock firmware given that it's heavily based on the stock firmware and adds features much more than fixes. If there are problems in the stock firmware they can carry over the Merlin. Problems with routers are almost always firmware related or heat related.

Why old is better than new

Wireless Standard: The RT-BE92U supports Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) with 6GHz, while the RT-AX86U Pro uses Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax).
Performance & Speed: The RT-BE92U offers higher total bandwidth (BE9700 vs AX5700). However, early reports indicate the RT-BE92U may have stability issues, while the RT-AX86U Pro is recognized for superior, proven reliability.
Ports: The RT-BE92U features a 10G WAN/LAN port and multiple 2.5G ports. The RT-AX86U Pro has one 2.5G port and four 1G ports.
Band Support: The RT-BE92U is a tri-band router (2.4/5/6 GHz), offering better device management for crowded networks. The RT-AX86U Pro is dual-band (2.4/5 GHz).
Recommendation:
Choose the RT-BE92U if you want to future-proof with Wi-Fi 7, have multiple devices supporting 6GHz, and require 10Gbps wired capabilities.
Choose the RT-AX86U Pro for a more stable, proven, and mature router, ideal for current high-speed internet up to 2.5Gbps.

Purchased 2 from Amazon Warehouse during BF2025. I did not even attempt to run using the stock firmware. Booted it up and installed Merlin firmware and running like a champ with Aimesh enabled.
