I found one review from Svet Kompjutera (linked on the ASUS product page). If you don't understand Serbian, Google can translate: https://www-sk-rs.translate.goog/...r_pto=wapp

The review seemed generally favorable, though I don't think it was a very thorough analysis of the router. This router was released around March 2026 according to that review & Google Gemini (Ai). It'll be a while before more sites can review it. If you don't need a 10GBPS port, this may be an OK choice. This router has only 2.5GB ports (WAN & LAN).

The technical specifications are here: https://www.asus.com/us/networkin.../techspec/ Good that it's tri-band WiFi 7 (2.4ghz/5ghz/6ghz band), has 1GB of RAM and is AiMesh compatible with other ASUS routers. The bad/disappointing news is it only has 2x2 spatial stream support on all 3 bands. It would be better to have 4x4 on 5ghz and 6ghz bands. I don't think 4x4 on 2.4ghz is a big deal as it's such a worthless band (too crowded) and only IoT devices and silly smart plugs/doorbell cameras seem to use 2.4ghz anymore.

Seems like an average router to me. Not a terribly compelling purchase. I'll stick with my WiFi 6 ASUS XT8.

They have some used 'like new' or 'very good' ASUS RT-BE92U BE9700 routers for ~$150 sold by Amazon. I picked one up last week for $150 and was lucky that it was sealed in box and likely just a return.

Quote from Painting_Sundays :
I got two 92U from the Woot sale. Updated both, both HW 1, both are bad. I had to separate the bands into 3 different UUIDs, and turn off a bunch of features to make it kind of stable (still not 100%).I ended up with a BE88U and it's amazing! It's faster on 5G than the 92U was on 6G (standing right next to it). 1 router covers my whole house (which previously took two 92U or 7(!) crappy TPLink hotspots).
I too got the 92U from Woot, and I'm pretty sure I received one of the bad batches. The stock firmware was the latest version and was super unstable connection. I installed Merlin latest firmware on it and factory reset as instructed, but the router has since been such a humongous pain to get any of the setting to stick. I rolled back to the previous stable firmware for Merlin but no joy. Followed all protocols to run factory resets to reset nvram and what not, but nothing ever solved the issue of the settings not saving. I'm filling a return and keep away from this model as it's lived up to the worst version of the negative reviews.

Thanks for sharing that helpful info. Sorry it didn't work out, but at least you can return it to get something else.

A two second look would have told you I am not talking about a different router.

https://www.bestbuy.com/product/a...76/reviews

See...

Also they would be selling it on amazon and anywhere else, till the inventory is gone.
Bro that's a different router than the one being sold here....

Be92u is not the be90u. It isn't a replacement for it, if it were it would be sold all the same places but it isn't. Asus makes retailer specific models, best buy has some, this looks to be an Amazon specific model (the be90u, not the be92u that you are talking about, that is sold all over, which again is a different router)

Also they wouldn't go down a number, asus made 3 versions of ax86u, when they couldn't get some parts because of covid they slapped an s on the end, when the CPU was slightly changed they slapped a pro on the end. They wouldn't go from 92 to 90 if it were a replacement.

Check the flow of conversation you would know we were discussing the B92U, and trying to figure out if its being phased out for the B90U or what game is Asus playing... Literally the person I responded to was talking about the B92U..... You responded and quoted me talking about the B92U. It makes no sense to have both routers at this price point with similar but not identical feature set. Also it does make sense to go down to B90 if the feature set is not as robust which the B90U is not as robust as the B92U but maybe thats why it has so many stability issues. And we also know its not a costco thing as the B92U is sold at multiple retailers just like the B90U is, so neither is retailer specfic.

How about you check the conversation (the quote you are referring to talks about both routers not only the be92u) where I said this is likely an Amazon specific model and not a replacement for the be92u and that Asus has a history of doing this already and at the same price point. It's called reading comprehension, if you are talking about a replacement you obviously aren't talking about the be92u because it's not replacing itself.

You keep saying the be90u is sold multiple places, it is not, it's only sold on Amazon go check Asus website if you don't believe me, it's the only retailer listed as where to buy. The only router being talked about here that is sold multiple places is the be92u, which if you check the where to buy section on Asus website it confirms that.

I've been using it for a week, and it's been great. My understanding is that the issues were firmware-related and were all fixed at the end of last year, but some of the comments here suggest there might have been a slight hardware change, or that some units were duds? I have been using it to stream VR to my Quest 3 on 6 GHz, and it's flawless for that. I think that it is the least expensive router with both a 10 Gbit port and 6 GHz wifi. The next models up, BE-96 and BE-98, are priced at ~$600 or more.

Glad (amazed?) to hear it is working great! Maybe you could peek at the bottom of the router and tell us what hardware version it's running? It should say something like "HWVer:1.0" etc. I think v1.0 could be problematic, not sure really. Some folks with v1.0 have had great experience so it is a bit of a crap shoot whether it works or not it seems, with no regard for the HW version.

HW version 1.0 with a production year of 2025. It's been the best router that I have owned by far. I've worked with routers for over 20 years, ranging from 900 MHz for long range to just now entering shorter wavelengths. My sample size is only a week, but I've had zero issues with my main router for my wife and me, who are online nearly all the waking hours.

Edit, I'm also a professor of ECE and not the typical user. We made long range, few mile links with the 900 MHz band using ubiquity phase arrays. I'm now just trying to find a turn-key solution for home use, and the BE-92 seemed like a steal for this performance. If you're having poor download speeds and live in an apartment or townhouse, download a wifi scanner application and make sure that your channel isn't overloapping with others. If you are in the US and have Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) option, enable it. Almost no one uses these channels by default. I am curious if there are two hardware versions as well based on the huge split of reviews.

Thanks for all that info! I heard there is a HW ver 6.0? Seems like a huge jump, so maybe it's not really out there. Congrats on your deal!
