Powerful router that can do everything
This is a powerful router that can basically do everything. It has great coverage and doesn't need reboot like older ASUS routers. It also has much more 2.5Gbps LAN ports compared to the regular RT-BE96U and two 10Gbps LAN ports. The difference in price between the RT-BE96U and the GT-BE98 Pro is less than a 5-port 2.5Gbps switch, so it's a nobrainer to choose the GT-BE98 Pro. However, the one crucial flaw for this router is that it has dual 6GHz bands instead of dual 5GHz bands. In today's world, not many devices can take advantage of the 6GHz band, let alone the extremely short-ranged 6GHz high band. With dual 5GHz bands like the GT-BE98, you can put all IoT devices on the low band, and everything fast & modern on the high band. With this router, you can't do that.

The Future is here
I was originally running the Asus AX11000 with two new GT6 nodes. 1G internet service. I was getting under 900 mbs to the router, and below 400mbs to my main computer. I replaced the main router with this new BE98 Pro and post set up, I’m getting almost 1.2g to the router and over 900 mbs to the main PC! Simply remarkable. Set up was relatively simple, using the iOS Asus router app. Pretty much stuck with the initial defaults. There were a few hiccups during set up. First the GT6 nodes were showing poor connections to the main until I rebooted the BE98 Pro. Second, I tried the add an AX58 node as well, and the BE98 Pro didn’t not want to recognize it. I could not get the app to add. Finally, I logged in via browser on my phone and it recognized and added it! I cannot believe the immediate boost in performance, well worth the change!

Future-proofing with Asus
I’ve used Asus routers for years and I have to say, they’re among the best. Their interface is great, simple and is based on open source software. This router is huge but it is powerful enough to send WiFi throughout my home. WiFi 7 is coming, and this router will prepare you for it. Something great about this router is it has Guest Networking Pro. What this means is that you can create specialize SSIDs for your guests, IoT devices, or a network for working from home. Each network you create is separate from your intranet, so it can’t access your devices on the primary network (network segregation). If you’re wondering what the difference is with this router versus their other WiFi 7 router, it’s because this one includes Quad Bands instead of Tri Band. This is beneficial if you plan on implementing mesh networking. One of the best things about Asus is that any of their routers can be used as a mesh node. Overall this is an awesome router for performance, security, network segregation and I can’t recommend it enough. Can’t recommend it enough.
