ASUS RT-BE92U

[jimmysofat6864]

I have MLO enabled in network settings but I have MLO Fronthaul for clients disabled in the network settings. What does MLO Fronthaul for clients do? Isn't it the same as turning on MLO in the wireless tab?

 

[jimmysofat6864]

I’m seeing the same behavior as the last firmware. Once you activate MLO, occasional network delays occur on any SSID.
I will try to find a time when the rest of the house is sleeping for a more extensive test procedure and try to grab some system logs of post MLO activation behavior.

Are you testing with "mlo fronthaul for clients" enabled in the network tab or just MLO in the wireless tab or do you have both enabled?

RIP I paid MSRP at best buy 299 for this a while back. With all the bugs and such this router initially had I should have waited.

I saw the price drop, and I'm thinking of picking one up to use as an AI Mesh node. Having read through all of these posts, it doesn't seem like the bugs people are experiencing should impact it's ability to be a good node. Thoughts?

My goal is to replace a current AI Mesh Node (AX88U) with something that will support Wifi 7 and 6GHz, while being able to mount on a wall, as the unit lives behind the TV in my media room.

Looks like Asus has a sale on several routers, the BE92U being $30 off. But then at the same time, they dropped the retail list of the BE92U down to $249, so it makes for a nice $220 price. Amazon sold out, but BB had some last night and I had to bite at that price.

I have the same thoughts on this router. Just going by people's forum/reddit/reviews, it seems like this router had some problems early on with firmware. Most of those coming from enabling all or some Asus features that likely may not be needed. Many of those issues seem like they have been fixed now, at least by reports of some users. I plan to disable all those and just use the router for what it's core use case will be: router and WiFi. I don't need any other fancy software features. The one WiFi 7 feature that I hope gets matured is MLO, but it looks like all routers are having a real fun time getting that stable right now. I plan to disable SmartConnect and try MLO on the 5+6Ghz bands. If it's not stable, then I'll just go back to separate 2/5/6 GHz bands, which will do fine for me.

My MLO test exhibited the same symptoms as before.

I am seeing the following from the kernel:

kernel: WLC_SCB_DEAUTHORIZE error (-30)

Any thoughts?

If you bought the router from Best Buy after November 1st you still qualify for holiday price match. I just did a chat with them and got $80 back, I bought mine Nov 8.

Yes, indeed - I got a significant chunk back on my BT10. You can try and ask for a post-purchase refund. They are likely to give it to you because most of these items have holiday return day extending into January and February. They would rather have you keep the item than return it (so that you can get it at a lower price as a separate purchase).

RT-BE92U - On-going random losses of Internet/WAN access

I've had the RT-BE92U for a few weeks now and a couple of times a day it simply stops routing DNS WAN traffic and the Wi-Fi networks also stop routing. All Internet access grinds to a halt because of this. Sometimes it returns to normal on its own but today it was so inconvenient that I got it...

Everyone on this thread should be reporting errors in the log or core technology functional issues to Asus from within the routers feedback setting. It's important for us to get these issues on the radar before Asus firmware development moves onto other devices and only updates this router with security updates.

I already reported the logs like 5 times using the built in feedback tool and the only thing asus has responded with is to wait 1-2 business days and it's been more than a week.

No tech company responds immediately to feedback or issue reporting. At best, those just go into a ticket system, and they have metrics that report on the highest number of the same issues, reported through multiple people. Then their dev teams prioritize each issue and address them at a much later date, if at all. Tech issue reporting often requires playing the long game. However, if enough people report an issue over time, it may just get addressed during the device's active improvement firmware years. After a couple years, I'm betting they drop back to mostly security updates and move active improvement efforts onto newer routers.

I’m running the 92u at another location right now. I’ve also sent logs to support three times but so far no response from them. I did install the latest firmware and did a reset.
I didn’t use smart connect, set up three seperate networks and didn’t use MLO. No VPN either. So far it’s been good, no dropouts, no CPU core spikes or flakiness for almost a day. I’ll check the logs tomorrow and see what they show.
