First thing I checked for was Merlin.

They have the BE96U, but not the BE92U.
Great deal even without customizable specialized firmware from Merlin. With all due respect to Merlin, his customized firmware is insignificant and unnecessary for the majority of users
I was about to buy this when it dropped from $300 to $250, now at $220, I'm buying! I also found the same price at Best Buy if you don't want to wait.

Does anyone know if we can combine the Best Buy 15% "Trade-In" coupon with this $219.99 price in store?

I literally just bought the Asus RT AXU88Pro from Best buy a few days ago. Honestly for my needs I think the 88Pro is probably better for me anyway.
How much you paid for it? This is the router I want. How does this compare to AXU88Pro in terms of Pro features?

No,I tried today. The coupon not working with on sale product
That's unfortunate as there is no where in the terms that stipulate sale items are excluded. In fact the terms are:
Quote :
Recycle and save
In store only
Get 15% off a new modem, router or modem/router combo and Geek Squad® Home Wi-Fi Setup service when you bring in any of these devices for recycling. Simply take your old networking device to Customer Service in a Best Buy store, and you'll receive a coupon for 15% off the current price of a networking device or whole-home networking system, plus 15% off Geek Squad Home Wi-Fi Setup.
Key term above is 'current'. I wager this is easily arguable if you had asked for a manager.

I think it was $234.99 then they took 15% off for recycling an old router.

I observed this in the Amazon reviews- "Customers have issues with the router's connectivity. They mention it drops WiFi connections, and overall its WiFi is slower than their previous router. IoT devices won't stay connected, and the router has a lot of connection issues. It causes VPN connections to disconnect and run through their native network. The wired connection stops abruptly and the app has disconnected.
AI-generated from the text of customer reviews"

Has anyone here had a similar or different ,experience with this router?

The AC version is 2 generations old (Wifi 5 vs. Wifi 7). It should be much faster.

I actually owned this router for about a week. It has tri-band connectivity with MLO (Multi-Link Operation). I didn't have any connection issues to speak of. I was getting around 800 Mbps download from a 1 Gb internet connection from around 30 feet away with several walls. For $220, I think it would be an excellent pickup.

I returned it (Amazon) because the 5Ghz band only does 2x2:2 instead of 4x4:4 like most other routers in the $300 range when I bought it. I previously used the RT-AX86U with Merlin firmware. I might try the RT-BE86U even though it is only dual band. It has 4x4:4 on the 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz bands and has Merlin support or roll with my own OPNSense miniPC. The reasons I returned it aren't because it's a bad product (especially at $220), but because I was looking for something different. For a set it and forget it router, I would buy it.

Issues with router reported here [asus.com]. I want to buy this router as I have the old tmobile asus router but this new router seems unstable, per many comments. This is a great price which makes me want to try it.

The manager could (and should) have overwritten the net selling price. You got a bad one if they didn't.

I tried and they wouldn't do it. Tried complaining customer service, chat, and now will explore other options. Best buy can be a terrible store I'm guessing depending on where you live.

I just got rejected for an old router with the employee saying that they didn't carry my router and that I didn't buy it from Best Buy. It was a router from spectrum. I didn't have time to argue because I was on lunch break.

I bought 2 just in case I needed the range. I didn't.

Set it up last night, was getting great speeds and low latency. Right before lunch, the entire network goes down. Had to physically reboot it.

This is not my first ASUS router but it's the first that I had to reboot on Day 1 lol

Damn you, Synology, for being so damn slow with embracing new wireless tech

Have Asus RT-AC5300 running Merlin. Set it to reboot every Sunday night. Didn't bother upgrading firmware. Still running 6-7 year old firmware. It is rock steady.

Should I upgrade to this router?
