I recently upgraded from a RT-AX86U (basically the WiFi 6 version of your router), and I purchased 2 x RT-BE92U, one as a router and one configured as a separate access point. The primary reason for the upgrade was to get access to the 6GHz band for a Quest 3 VR headset. Playing PCVR games via WiFi

I bought an Asus RT-BE92U recently to replace (sort of) a pair of Asus ZenWiFi XT8 in an AiMesh. It's WiFi 7, 4 x 2.5Gbps LAN ports and 1 x 10Gbps WAN, Tri-band WiFi (very important for AiMesh imho) It's now my router and master node for my AiMesh, with the old XT8s now being (actually quite good) n

If you are happy with your single all-in-one, there's no need to go with a mesh system. There's nothing "better" about it, it's usefulness is extending wifi coverage when you can't or won't wire an access point. Here are some suggestions within your budget.

Both routers you named can’t get you the 10G speed you’re looking for. The rt-be92u has only one 10G port and the others are 2.5G ports, so the best you can expect would be 2.5Gb most likely through wired connection. The rt-ax86u has only one 2.5G port and the rest are 1G ports, so you’re bottleneck

I may have missed it but did you purchase it, or is it just a device you already havem Asking because im wondering why you wouldn't go with the ASUS RT-BE92U BE9700 that's more advanced and you can find used and refurbished models at about the same price if you look. Glad you got it working better t

Ja mám ASUS RT-BE92U a tomu ten od Orange nesiaha ani po členky (či už kvalitou a rýchlosťou WiFi v rámci bytu alebo rôznymi funkciami, ktoré je možné na routeri nastaviť; ja tam mám dokonca custom firmware). Napr. WiFi 7 a 6 GHz band je kapitola sama o sebe. Orange to bude dávať do routerov zrejme

Exactly what you said. I needed to replace my mom's ol' faithful Apple AirPort Extreme 6gen routers when the fan started sounding like a jet crashing; so I went with another stable ASUS RT-BE86U Wifi7 dual-band units. The BE92U units have tons of bad reviews due to firmware - which most likely have

I've been reading about the RT-BE92U, and from what I've read I don't think that I'd go that way. Too many firmware problems. Yes, I'd have to say that the GT-AX6000 or RT-AX88U is a better option than the RT-BE92U. If I was going to go for wifi 7, I'd go for the RT-BE96U, as I said before. Must be

I was recently shopping for a wifi router, and I find it best to start by making a list of features I care about, then stacking the candidates up on that. Here is the brief list of differences I saw between these two units. The biggest difference I saw was the 92 has 6Ghz, but only 2x2. The 88 lacks

Really? How come? 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. Any recs on a better router?
