One of the Worst router I ever purchased to replace my old AC68A (x3). Always dropped connections every 10-15 mins. Tried Merlin, Factory reset and eventually I got RMA and Asus sent me different router instead. After that, I just went with info and couldn't be happier.

What does "went with info" mean?

A lot of nice things with network port speed, etc. BUT:

Frequently returned due to poor connectivity.

I didn't listen to the posters the last time this went FP and I bought one. Huge mistake. Firmware does NOT fix the major issues this thing has, Merlin or Asus OEM. If you actually plan on using Wifi 7 in MLO stay far away from this unit. You'll waste at least a couple hours of your life.

Interesting that new routers are still coming with USB-A ports instead of USB-C. Wish that band-aid would just get ripped quickly.

Any thoughts on this replacing my RT-AC86U for a 2,000sq/ft house (2 floor, router in middle 2nd floor)

the current router has been having issues past few months...needing a reboot to get working again. Have had since late 2017 I believe. I've tried all the tricks....reflashing firmware, downgrading, loading defaults. Issue is it just locks up and becomes non responsive, even the led lights get stuck solid on front and back.
Temps are normal, have dusted it...was clean.

Anyhow... for $190 I know this is more modern, and "Faster" but I'm primarly looking for stability and range. WiFi6/7 not priority, gaming stuff is all wired.

Almost $200 for a router and it is considered a front page deal. I am really old schooled for still using the T-Mobile branded AC-1900 for $50.

I bought the 86U which seems to have better reviews a couple weeks ago and it seems to work well.

86U is an older but much better router. It's even considered as a flagship.
This BE92U was onsale at the same price before, however, the deal had users recommended different things, even turning off MLO for it to work. If you have to turn certain things off for it to work, it's not the manufacturer's intention.

He probably meant the firmware came with it.

be advised the entire AiCloud feature section is a security risk
so if hosting a personal cloud using a router is your end game
look elsewhere beyond Asus.

i enjoy an asus AX router, but was disappointed to learn
that entire feature section should not be used.

Listen to the reviews. I thought I was smarter than them and it was their fault. Unfortunately I didn't set it up until after the return window ...
This thing is awful! Under normal settings, it would crash every 1 to 3 hours. At one point, it was forgetting the login information so the only way to get back on to the interface was to hard reset it and start all over. I've since disabled the vast majority of what makes this router anything special, and have it restart automatically nightly, and it's down to one crash a week. Sadly, I'm calling that a success.

(Also, I am using merlin firmware)

Snagged one used for $164. Best advice is to patch as soon as you get it and most issues go away. I will try this approach and hope I didn't buy a dud.
Did you end up having any issues? Wondering if the used ones are the ones with connectivity issues even with a firmware upgrade.
