Powerful and Solid .. Excellent router
I upgraded from AX6600 three mesh nodes to the BE14000. This system is very strong . With MLO the mesh signal does not cut in half anymore. Blazing fast and powerful with backhaul . 2 nodes more than enough . Being ASUS router long timer I can say ASUS mastered the mesh systems. I also checked the binding functions and I can assign my devices to any mesh node I prefer and balance traffic. ASUS BE14000 excellent router . Upgrade firmware immediately to get the best performance.

Quality issue?
Spent about 5 hours trying to set the router up after purchase. Talked to first tech support who insisted I was doing something wrong in the set up. Then basically gave up. Second technical support worked for about 2 hours with me to conclude the router had an internal hardware issue. Said she was sorry about that and then quickly transferred me to take a survey on technical support experience. Supposedly a great product but disappointing in the support when it does not work.

Good specs and features but terribly slow
Performance looks great on paper but that is about it. It is often too slow to be usable. When I first set this up, and intermittently, I get decent speeds. My ISP is 1Gbp and I'll be getting up to 800-900Mbps using speedtest.net over WiFi. However, often it gets unbearably slow and not even restarting will fix the issue. So slow that I can't even watch a Netflix show without it having to stop to buffer periodically. When I test this with a WIRED connection (you read that correctly, nothing over the air), I am getting consistently around 8Mbps. The performance is 100 times slower than my 10 year old WiFi 5 router that I have switched back to. There are a lot of negative reviews (which I should have listened to). I wonder if the positive reflect long term use? If you are just doing some light web surfing you may not notice, but you can do that with a much cheaper router. I had the same issues with the ZenWiFi BD4 and "upgraded" to the BT8 thinking it was because the BD4 was just underpowered. This is almost certainly a firmware problem. I'm using the latest BT8_300610258273. Forums and Asus support itself recommends doing a factory reset after updating (which I've done) but this is extremely tedious, and it hasn't fixed the slow speed issue. Hopefully it will be fixed at some point but it has almost been a year since release and it's clearly still in Beta. Support: Asus support has been terrible. One day I got kicked off five times because of a problem on their end and had to start the entire process over again with a different agent. I may have gotten unlucky but I've read elsewhere people who have had the same problem.

Press reset button on used unit
It works great and was not too difficult to setup. However, I bought the “used like new” and it did not behave as described in the setup instructions/app. My daughter found and pressed the reset button on the bottom of both units then the setup was straight forward. Of course there was no mention of that in the instructions for new units.
