Noticeable Improvement

Bought a modem/router combo to replace an even older one that no longer supports our internet speed and WiFi would always drop. I also noticed an increase in the time it takes for the speed to ramp up. Decided to get a router instead and use the modem/router combo in bridge mode.
Set up was easy and the UI has a modern design. Probably because I had used mid to low range range models but making changes and getting into the router only takes a few seconds. Previous modem takes at least 15 seconds for a simple password update.
WiFi speed is much closer to our wired speed. There are no more drops and slow ramp up speed as well. The speed at range is a huge improvement for us, we get 80-90% speed at 15-30 feet, and 25%-35% at 40-50 feet.

I bought this Asus RT-BE360 on Oct/23/24 to replace another ASUS router that still works great.
This is a great router with better security and is an upgrade to WI-FI 7 from WI-FI 6.
It works great and is easy to set up and get one line. Hope it will last a long time.

Great Performance for the Money

I picked this up for the WiFi 7 compatibility, but learned that many of my older devices were severely hamstrung by it, including a laser printer that wouldn't work via WiFi 7. Fortunately, you can set up a guest WiFi network with backwards compatibility to work around it. Make sure to update all network drivers before installing the router, though, to ensure the process is smooth. Performance is outstanding, so I won't take any stars off for the WiFi 7 compatibility, as that's not the fault of the product.

I recently upgraded my ISP from Spectrum and tried using the free router they provided. The interface with their router was awfully designed for people who aren't comfortable changing settings or customizing. That resulted in older devices that wouldn't connect. This router solved that problem.

Not as fast as expected. I feel the problem is with Hargray Internet provider. They claim they would have to send a tech out to troubleshoot but I feel it would be a waste of money.

Good as a AiMesh node

I'm replacing a 4+ year old AX router and mesh extender, I got this router to operated as a wireless AiMesh node with an Asus RT-BE88U operting as the main router. Setup using the app was easy. With this setup, I'm getting much better wireless coverage and speed, with lower lag/latency than my old equipment. Ive been running them for a couple of weeks now with no issues. I don't have enough signal congestion around house to need a triband, so these two routers working together more than exceeds our needs.

This router has been awesome for setting up my family on while having a BE7200 for my own personal setup with a Smart Tv dialed as a PC and main router that’ll eventually host LANs/VLANs for my web server, raspberry/orange pi mini server cluster, ect.

Weak Signal

Replaced a Netgear Nighthawk R7400(3-5 years old) with this unit, as I was loosing signal Apple TV, iPad and Bose Portable Smart Speaker. From lack of Netgear routers being on "top" lists and seeing ASUS show up I made the switch. Also Best Buy floor people said to stay away from Netgear(3 different people), but a Geek Squad guy said Netgear was still OK.
Very disappointed so far. Speedtest is telling me signal unstable and I am 15" feet from router. Signal strength is a total downgrade. Areas in the front of the house and backyard where I would get 3 WiFi bars and have phone conversations I am know getting 2 WiFi bars and conversations are dropping and reconnecting during conversation(iPhone 12 Pro). All my products are on the latest operating systems. Connection with the Apple TV and Bose are better, but connection to Apple TV(4K 2nd Generation) does not connect right away, but once it does it basically stable. Purchased 3/15/2025. Waiting to hear back from ASUS support as support ticket was generated 3/16/2025, they said basically 2 days but nothing in the inbox when I got home tonight

Very strong, great signal that never drops. I've never had a router this good, and I've been looking. Also, ASUS always has the best UI for routers, imo.
