ASUS ROG Strix GS-BE12000 WiFi 7 Gaming Router - Tri-Band, 12Gbps, Mesh

I've been using this router daily for the past three weeks, and I wanted to wait before writing my review. After testing most of its features and getting familiar with the web interface, I finally feel confident enough to share my experience.For reference, this router currently handles more than 30 connected devices in my home without any stability issues. This includes Smart TVs, Chromecast devices, laptops, smartphones, tablets, smart speakers, IoT devices, and gaming equipment.This router is truly an impressive piece of hardware.The initial setup was extremely quick and straightforward. In

I bought this router while upgrading my home network and smart home setup. My network includes Home Assistant, local DNS, monitoring tools, smart devices, streaming devices, cameras, phones, tablets, laptops, and the usual collection of electronics that somehow multiply when nobody is looking.Setup was straightforward. The web interface was easy to navigate, firmware updates were simple, and getting devices connected was painless. Within a short time I had everything online and started moving devices over from my old equipment.Coverage has been excellent. WiFi performance is strong throughout

We recently upgraded our home internet to 2Gigs and it was pretty evident that our tried and trusted RT-AX86U wasn't quite able to handle the additional bandwidth which had me on the hunt for an updated router.I am a huge Asus router fan, and really wasn't interested in other brands - so I limited my search to some older 6E or new Wifi7 routers. If you follow some of the development scene, the reviews on some of Asus' initial WIFI 7 offerings have been a bit of a mixed bag in terms of stability and such, which made me hesitate on getting the RT-BE86 which is the "natural successor" to the RT-A

Pros: Love the wired connectivity options on the router (many 2.5Gbps ports). I noticed a significant peformance improvement for all wired devices. Wireless devices on the 6GHz, and 5Ghz, bands also performed much better. That said, 2.4GHz networks were a real challenge. 2.4 networks are still a necessity for IoT devices like smart outlets, etc. Transmit range seemed a bit stronger than my old router (RT-AX3000) as well.Cons: Using three GS-BE12000 routers in AiMesh (Ethernet backhaul), the 2.4 GHz networks would drop entirely or prove highly unstable. Restarts, recreating SSIDs, disabling WiF

This was a refurbished one, NOT in the original packaging. I wanted one of these REAL BAD because of the seven 2.5G LAN plugs! (And a 2.5G WAN port.) But $400 is a lot of money! I got sick of waiting for it to go down in price, so I got this one for quite a bit less - perfect aesthetic and functional condition for quite a bit less!It came with a power supply (12V 3 or 5 Amps - hard to read) and an Ethernet cable in a plain Amazon box, because I got a renewed one for a discount. Here's where the fun started. I have a total of six or seven 5 and 8 port 2.5G switches! This thing has connectors fo

I decided to replace my Eero router I got from my ISP with something that, you know...actually works. I wanted to avoid TPLink, so I went with an Asus instead. I have always liked Asus products but, recently, their stuff has started to go down in quality. So far I have been really impressed with this router. The setup is as simple or complex as you want it to be. With lots of controls, some AI stuff I don't care about and the ability to setup multiple networks, depending on their function, has been amazing. Definitely recommend this router for the money. We have a 2k sq ft home, but I have no

I have been on Asus network for more than a decade. So when I needed more LAN ports, I bought this without hesitation, moving from my BE92U to this as my primary. Only to find that it fails to allocate IP address through it's mesh nodes if you use a different subnet - a task my lower specBE92 does so easily. I have 2 guest networks that I isolate though separate subnet setting, but despite resets, this supposedly upgraded version fails to cascade IP through mesh nodes. I had to back to BE92U as my primary. Hoping one day someone at Asus will fix it. For now, avoid if you need a consistent deli

I needed to upgrade my router for my home as Spectrum's router was not allowing me to complete certain operations I wanted.I did my research, and was debating between this and a comparable TP-Link router for my home. Because I already have multiple Asus products, and they have all be stellar, I decided to go with Asus for my router, and it has been amazing.First off being able to use the app or desktop to manage my router from anywhere with my Asus login such a great feature. Not to mention the speed and the lack of packet loss has also been a significant upgrade to my previous routher. My pin
