Asus Mesh Success in Multi Level Home

Three Asus mesh routers solved challenging weak spots in our home network. The RT-BE88U served as the Mesh hub. The ability to bind devices to particular mesh nodes made the system work well and stay working repeatedly. This was crucial to achieve the performance needed for some devices in the network.

The Routers Seem Fine, The APP Sucks

I brought three of these routers. The mesh mostly behaved great. "One router kept dropping". I realized the management tool (APP) on my android might be the issue. I deleted the app, downloaded the new app and installed it. The new app is pretty and blinking, but functionally useless.

Dear Pw08096, Thank you for your comment. We do understand your disappointment with the router and the inconvenience this may have caused if you are experiencing connection drop on one of the units. To resolve the unstable connection, place it in a central location within your home, away from walls and obstructions, keep it elevated off the floor and away from electronic devices that may cause interference. Also, we recommend updating the routers' firmware if it is running with an older version. Firmware is available for download at: https://www.asus.com/networking-iot-servers/wifi-routers/asus-gaming-routers/rt-be88u/helpdesk_bios?model2Name=RT-BE88U. Should you need further assistance with the product, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I would be more than happy to help. Or you are most welcome to call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent from the link: https://www.asus.com/us/support/article/1135/. Thank you for choosing an ASUS product. Regards, Rodel ASUS Customer Loyalty

Good router But....

A good router with a fairly intuitive app interface and an even better online interface. Relatively easy to set up; my only negative thing is that the range on this router should be better for something in this price range

Definitely beats ISP provided router

I'm extremely happy with this router. I love the amount of control the ASUS app allows me to have over my home network, and will probably continue purchasing ASUS products for my network needs going forward.

To Difficult

The process to setup and operate this machinery does not adequately provide the needed information. also, support for this is extremely difficult to use, and they tend to be condescending. A very off-putting experience.

Quality and great software balance

You want to plug it in and run, fine. Or you want to tweak settings, go for it with a great UI that supports a rich set of options. ASUS stands behind it with support and timely firmware updates -- and has solid security protection built in.

Experience with RT-BE88U

Straighforward to configure and performance is very good. Much more obscure to setup multiple SSID's than older units. Configuring the "table" for the MAC to IP assignments used by the DHCP server is nearly impossible for more than a handful of mappings.

New Router dead DDNS

Old DDNS is dead ... No response from support after 4 days.

reply from CLM

Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for your comment. We do understand your dissatisfaction with the quality of your recent customer service experience if there was no response after four days you reach out and the inconvenience this may have caused if your old DDNS is dead using the RT-BE88U router. It failed because the old hostnames tied to an older router need proper account binding to transfer over. To resolve this, update the firmware if the router running with an oudated version. Update for the router is posted at: https://www.asus.com/networking-iot-servers/wifi-routers/asus-gaming-routers/rt-be88u/helpdesk_bios?model2Name=RT-BE88U. Once updated, open the ASUS Router Application, log into your ASUS account, go to Settings > Account Binding > ASUS DDNS, and re-link or import your existing hostname. We do value our customers and take the negative customer service experience very seriously. This is not the quality of service expected from ASUS. We stand behind our product and continuously strive to improve our approach and processes to achieve customer service excellence.
