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 less than five minutes, I had both of my Wi-Fi networks configured and running. After exploring its features through the web interface, I can honestly say this router feels like a mini home server. It offers an incredible number of configuration options and advanced features without being difficult to use. Internet performance has been rock solid. I haven't experienced random client drops or unexpected disconnections. The router provides a wide range of settings that make managing and securing a home network much easier. I also like the ability to create user profiles and prioritize network traffic depending on each family member's needs. The dual 2.5GbE ports and the dedicated gaming port are excellent additions. I also connected an old external hard drive to the USB port and quickly turned it into a media server. Every Smart TV, Chromecast, laptop, smartphone, and tablet in my house can access and stream movies and TV shows without any issues. AiProtection powered by Trend Micro is another great security feature, and setting up a VPN is surprisingly simple. Coverage has also impressed me. I live in a 1,500 sq ft solid concrete home, which is one of the most challenging environments for Wi-Fi. Even so, I have usable coverage from the front sidewalk all the way to the backyard. Naturally, some areas of the house have lower signal strength because concrete walls significantly reduce Wi-Fi signals, but every device continues to work reliably, which is exactly what I expected. One of my favorite things about this router is the amount of information and control it gives you. You can monitor every connected client, check signal quality, see the connection band (2.4, 5, or 6 GHz), review link rates, configure QoS, VPN, NAT, AiProtection, and many other advanced features. If you enjoy understanding and managing your home network, this router provides an excellent set of tools. I'm planning to purchase a dual-pack of ASUS BT6 nodes to build a complete AiMesh system throughout my home. This isn't because the BE12000 lacks coverage—it already covers my house very well. I simply want to improve signal quality even further and provide the best possible wireless experience for everyone in the house. After three weeks of daily use, testing, and discovering everything this router has to offer, I honestly can't find a reason to remove a star. It has exceeded my expectations, and I'm extremely happy with my purchase. Highly recommended.

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 the house, and devices that used to occasionally complain about signal quality have been solid since the upgrade. Streaming, gaming, smart home devices, and general network traffic all run smoothly. One of the biggest improvements was stability. Local DNS, Home Assistant integrations, monitoring systems, and the growing collection of smart home gadgets have all been running without the random disconnects and strange behavior I was seeing on older hardware. The nine LAN ports turned out to be more useful than I expected. Being able to connect multiple wired devices without immediately reaching for another switch simplified the network and reduced cable clutter. The router also handled more advanced networking without fighting me. Static reservations, local hostnames, monitoring tools, custom DNS configurations, and smart home infrastructure all worked as expected. That's becoming surprisingly rare in consumer networking gear. The only downside is that buying a powerful router doesn't magically fix every networking problem. I still spent hours chasing issues that eventually turned out to be individual devices, software configurations, or vendors making questionable design decisions. The router was usually innocent while I was accusing it of crimes it didn't commit. Performance has been excellent, stability has been excellent, and it has handled everything I've thrown at it so far. If you're building a serious home network, running Home Assistant, managing multiple wired devices, or just tired of consumer routers having a nervous breakdown every time more than a few devices connect, this router is worth considering. The biggest problem now is that my network is stable enough that I have fewer things to troubleshoot. Apparently I paid good money to eliminate one of my hobbies.

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-AX86. Before that I had the RT-AC86, so these are solid workhorses. Which led me to actually by happenstance come across the new ROG Strix GS-BE12000. I am familiar with Asus' gaming ROG line, but I'm not a huge gamer so didn't really dive too much into that series. This seems to be a brand new router, and seems to be a "lighter" version of the recently released GS-BE18000. There doesn't seem to be really any write-ups on the GS-BE12000 because it's so new, but what I can tell you that it definitely does the trick! On the initial setup of the router (I believe it does support the universal router config restore from other Asus routers if you are upgrading, but it's usually always a better idea to set up a new model from scratch) - I first was a little disappointed because the download speeds seemed to still be capped at around 900Mpbs on my 2Gig line. But interestingly during the Wizard setup, it mentioned there was a firmware update so I did that. Upon rebooting of the first firmware update, the speeds were still the same, but interestingly enough when I went to the Admin page to check for firmware updates, there actually was one more (so moral here is you may need to update firmware twice on the initial setup). After the second update, then I saw some magic and was getting my paid for 2Gig speeds!! As for the UI, if you are familiar with Asus routers, you should be right at home with the configuration. The GOG series changes the colors a bit and adds a few little extras like being able to adjust the light logo on the front of the box (which is kinda cool, not going to lie) - but otherwise easy to find all the settings you are accustomed to. In terms of the coverage and range, I was a little hesitant because my trusty RT-AX86U (and the AC-86U before it) had awesome coverage - needing only the one router to cover my entire house (2 floors) - and both of those previous routers have external antennas, whereas this GS-BE12000 only has internal ones. But I can say that the coverage easily matches my old workhorses easily. Now in terms of the features, what I have been able to figure out in terms of the differences with the GS-BE18000, is that the BE12000 does NOT support Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) on the 6GHz band and the BE18000 does. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, then it probably isn't a feature you care about much at the moment ;) It's mostly if you have a lot of newer, high-end Wifi 7 devices. The other thing I don't believe the BE12000 has which some other newer Asus routers have is the support for the Virtual LANs (VLANs). Again, if you aren't really familiar with it, you probably won't miss it. The other cool thing, is that I love that this router (like most of Asus' other routers) has built in IPS security protection through the AIProtection component which is a partnership with Trend Micro. It doesn't cost any extra to use it, and it's saved my bacon a few times in the past! Finally, if you are a custom firmware fan - at the moment, it doesn't appear that ASUS Merlin supports this box yet. But judging by the firmware and the newness of both the BE-18000 and BE12000, I have a feeling it's a matter of time before it gets the support. But I'm a fan of the stock firmware, so not a big deal for me - but if you are a fan of Merlin, you may want to wait on this one. In terms of pricing, I got it on a good deal, and at the current price point, it's well worth the money in my opinion. TL:DR - if you are on an older router (especially an Asus) and you are looking for a solid upgrade to Wifi7 with stable and fast performance at a good price point - and you don't need certain bells and whistles (AFC & VLAN for instance) - the Strix GS-BE12000 is a great upgrade. In my case the upgrade from a RT-AX86U was perfect!

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 for that many!! I have two meshed Cudy access points, so I didn't even need the WiFi, but it has it. The Cudies (SP) cover this whole (3000 sq ft) building with 5 bars. This thing covers most of it with 4 or 5 bars. At the far end, it flickers back and forth between 3 and 4 bars. That's because of a cinder block interior wall in a 40X75 ft building. So I really, REALLY wanted to get it working because of all the 2.5G ports!! I plugged in everything except the WAN (Yeacom 5G ODU), thinking this could take awhile. Boy, was I right!! I struggled with this thing for two and a half days! No kidding; no exaggeration! Most of the problem is that I wanted to unhook as few things as possible to work on it with. So, I used one of the (PCIe) 2.5G NICS in this computer. Nogo. I went and got my pretty nice tablet and tried that. I'm not willing to type it all, but it was like a mouse in a science lab running a maze to find the cheese. I ended up factory resetting this thing FOUR times, before I finally had it. The time before that, I came SO close! I had the other (Killer) NIC (on the motherboard) plugged into all the LAN stuff and the ODU and my TP-Link router so this place would still have internet. For some reason it didn't occur to me that when I changed its IP address to 192.168.0.1, that the two NICS would somehow get confused between this thing and the TP-Link, which is also 192.168.0.1, so that failed miserably. I'm not good with Android at all. Boy, was I shocked when, this time, the tablet refused to connect to it! So, I my case, I needed both a tablet (DHCP) AND a desktop (static IP) to finally get through to this thing! I absolutely did not enjoy the way Asus set that up. The reason is that, when you get to one point, it needs to restart and it informs you that you will have to reconnect. But, at that point, https still wasn't set up and I was dead meat unless I went back to the desk top. ENOUGH!! If you don't really know what you're doing or have a friend who does, WATCH OUT!! By the way! When I first hooked it up, the WiFi networks were named, "Whitehouse". I found that somewhere between interesting and intriguing. (I'm not making it up.) It's running at least 14 wired and wireless things this instant. I'm also listening to a YouTube video and the wife's in there watching Korean soap opera's on a Roku and A Samsung Pad,and that's been for hours. Trust me; it works real well! Setting and settings and settings in the web interface! After I got through to it, I was pleasantly surprised time after time!! As I mentioned, the Wifi works great, even without a Mesh in a huge building through walls. I let the Cudies [SP] handle that, but I created a guest network on this thing, because it's a little harder on a Cudy unless you set it to router - NOT when it's in AP mode, because there are two of them. To sum it up, the hardware (and the Web Interface) are totally awesome way beyond my expectations, but it sure was a B-word to set up!! If you're real good at stuff or if you have a much simpler network than I do, and if you are better with an Android tablet than I am, I think you'll be really happy once you get past setting it up! I would ABSOLUTELY back up its settings to somewhere as soon as you get it up and running, like I did! I was a little surprised that the first thing it brought up was "This PC" or something on the computer! Right about where I wanted it, without me having to screw around at all! If they'd at least taken into consideration that your typical Android tablet won't let you connect to http (has to be https) and fixed that, it would have gotten 5 stars. (Firefox, on a desktop, warns you; lets you click on "Advanced" and go to the site anyway.) And I sure didn't want to screw up the network I already have by trying to convert stuff to DHCP!! - While I was trying to remember 3 different logons and passwords as I struggled with it... But I can't really understand how anyone would not be happy with it, once it's up and running! BTW: it's got 2 gigs of memory - running at 12-25% all afternoon. It's fast! It's nice! It's got IPTV, but doesn't really seem to support VLANS, but I have a switch or two that will support that. It has a guest network. You can add networks, which I haven't done yet. You can set a network to turn on and off at certain times! A WHOLE bunch of settings!!! Sorry about the screen grab; the flash went off. But you'll get the idea! You're looking at "Advanced" settings. Up above are the "General settings". It's incredibly nice once you gain control of it! BBTW: It automatically detects T-Mobile 5G home internet, without a problem! I deprived it of a WAN cable til the bitter end, so we'd still have internet while I struggled with it. I plugged in the WAN Cable, rebooted it because it got confused, and it connected (and configured!) all by itself as it was booting.

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 delivery through all your nodes

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 WiFI 7, and adding an IoT 2.4Ghz network didn't help. NetSpot confirmed the 2.4 GHz radios kept dropping. I spent well over 8+ hours trying to find the root cause & solution, and I work in IT. Fix: Removed two nodes from AiMesh, configured them as standalone APs, manually set matching SSIDs for each Router/AP, and used NetSpot to select optimal channels for each router/AP. The 2.4 GHz networks immediately stabilized across all 3 GS-BE12000 routers. Suspected root cause: AiMesh forces all radios to use the same channel, which creates co-channel interference when routers are somewhat close together. I did not try reducing transmit power, which may have helped but may have had other undesired effects. Either way, the radios should not keep dropping due to co-channel interference. I suspect this is a software/platform bug in ASUS AiMesh Recommendation: If you only need a single router for your home, with no addtional accesss points, no worries. I'd give a strong "buy" recommendation. The setup wizard is pretty good for the non-tech savvy. If you plan to use multiple Routers/APs to create a mesh network... proceed with caution. Assuming you have Ethernet backhaul available, use one router in router mode and the others as APs with individually optimized channels to avoid the nightmare of AiMesh... or consider a different model (e.g., Ubiquiti Dream Router 7). I'm not sure whether AiMesh can be bypassed if you don't have Ethernet backhaul available, but I would expect similar 2.4 GHz stability issues in a fully wireless setup. FWIW, I also had AiMesh issues with my prior routers (RT-AX3000) and had to use a similar workaround. Strong hardware, with bad/limited Mesh software IMO. If the AiMesh would allow you to set a different channel for each AP, you could work around this bug/issue on the 2.4Ghz band.

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 issues with the wifi signal, even in my backyard. The speed is great and tops out all of my 2.5gbps connections. I really wish it had a 10gbps local port, but the 2.5s are enough to satisfy my needs. Definitely recommend it.

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 ping has also been about 10ms lower as well across all PCs in my home. The built in VPN option is great if you are into that sort of thing and are tech savvy. I am very happy with this purchase and future proof my networking home needs for at least a decade. Highly recommend for anyone who is a gamer and wants top of the line networking for home.
