I bought this unit because I already have an Asus AIMESH setup using Arris modem, it was working great for Comcast 1g plan; however, I recently upgraded to their 1.3g and the Arris modem can only support up to 1g, I can configure Lan aggregation with both model and router, but it barely gets over 1g because the overhead associated with this set up. With Xfinity's recent promotion of their gateway and unlimited data bundle, I took the plunge and signed up for that, I basically get their XB8 gateway for free. So, my setup is to use Xfinity XB8 in bridge mode (disable their router), and use Asus BE92u+AX86u as a mesh combo unit. This combination works fine for me, I am getting the line speed at the router of 1.3-1.5g, and stability seems to be good for the week or so I have the new set up, the other important benefit is my network is 2.5g from router to switch to all the wired device, it is fast enough to cover all the basics. There is a bit of challenge when set up Xfinity XB8 as a bridge, it initially did not pass the DHCP IP address to the router, therefore you get no Internet from the router side, to solve this issue, I asked Grok AI, and it provided detailed solution (set clone MAC address from a working laptop connected to the XB8) which solved the problem. All in all, the unit BE92U is stable, I am using Merlin latest firmware, I am happy if my purchase.

Here’s my review. I purchased one open box to replace my Bell modem as I switched to EBOX Internet. The Nokia Becon 3.1 is terrible. You have to be right beside it to get full speed. The moment you move to a different room or floor you lose 50-70 percent speed. It does not penetrate through floors or walls well. Even though it shows full signal. After doing research I came across this router open box deal. I purchased 1 to start. Placed it in the same spot as the Nokia router. Did my speed test again and the speeds only dropped 20 percent going to the 2nd floor. Speed penetrates through walls and floors much stronger than the Nokia router. However. I want to utilize the full speed on 6ghz on all floors which is where the other 2 routers come in open box and added 1 to each floor. I now how full 6ghz speed throughout the entire house. Once you have the entire mesh system setup and begin adding devices. If you have a smart home with 40+ switches, camera, HomePods, it’s important to name them as you connect to the internet in the ASUS app. Because to fully utilize the system it’s important to bind each device to the router you want to lock it to prevent roaming to a weaker signal. Another thing I noticed. Each open box had someone else’s wifi setup to a single network. It combines all 3 bands into 1 network. I don’t recommend this because you won’t utilize full speed at times it will connect to 2.4 ghz instead of 5 or 6 which makes it very slow. For the price. You can’t go wrong with this mesh setup. Another thing to add. If you are with EBOX. Completely disconnect unplug and put back in the box the crappy Nokia beacon. You can’t even disable the wifi it’s annoying. Connect main fibre modem directly into the ASUS router and setup PPPOE information in the ASUS web gui. I currently have 58 devices connected and my ram utilization is 69-71% these are future proof ai nodes. In the future when it’s time to upgrade the main unit to a 4x4 mimo. It will still utilize full wifi 7 speeds as ai nodes. This router is 2x2 mimo on 5ghz and 6ghz 3x3 for 2.4ghz ideal for smart home devices. Best bang for your buck right now With my internet speed capped at 1gbps it doesn’t make sense to purchase a high end router yet.

I have to return the router as its connectivity is extremely unstable in my case. My situation: I live in a stacked townhouse (two floors) with Bell 3 Gbps service; I have 5-6 devices, non of which can support Wifi 7 (best can do Wifi 6E). I use the router as AP to enhance wifi coverage and get my place ready for any future wifi 7 device. The router's signal is strong enough to cover my entire home (when it works) but my phone and computer would frequently lose connection without any reason, particularly when I resume my phone/pc, change location from the first floor (where the router is) to the second, or start a heavy load downloading/uploading. I have to reconnect wifi multiple times a day; the speed is better when newly connected but gets worse as I use. I tried troubleshooting and did some research. With this router, many have complained about similar problems and warned that tri-band/wifi 7 is very new and still requires constant improvement. I've also tried different setup, e.g., turn off wifi 7 mode, turn off roaming assistant... to improve stability, but the problem persisted. So be ware of the challenges embracing new technologies.

Una basura, muy descepcionado de ASUS con este router, falla a cada rato, se desconfigura, no fucniona como ai-mesh
