RT-BE50 BE3600 Dual-Band WiFi 7 Smart AiMesh Extendable Router - Black

Really nice addition to my original and main ASUS BQ16 router which I use in my Cabin/office that I have hardwired via a UniFi network switch. Although the specs on the RT-BE50 aren’t quite as high as the BQ16’s, they are more than enough to extend my network to my outside Office/Cabin using Access Point mode, (main and iot 2.5Ghz networks), mirroring what I have in the main house via the BQ16 router. So far the network has been very stable - I’ve had the odd situation where I have needed to reboot the routers either certain devices going offline (especially following a power cut), but generally has not been a problem. My only criticism with these routers is without in depth conversations with AI I wouldn’t have had a clue about some of the settings I’ve needed to tweak - an there are a lot of settings which unless you are a network engineer you’ll likely not be aware of them or what they do, so something to be aware of - the default settings will only work to an extent, so worth asking CoPilot, ChatGBT or Gemini etc some questions. Helpful to upload some screenshots of the dashboards and ask if it is configured correctly for your desired outcomes… Thanks

Strong signal but signal drops significantly when in the room away from the router. Edit: After using it for a month it gets very hot and its performance significantly drops . Even youtube videos take time to load which never happened on my main router. Going down to 1* . Pretty disappointed for the price to be honest.

6 months in. No complaints works reliably everyday. Easy setup

Works as intended no complaints Good UI good customisation option from a decent price commercial router

Idk if it’s bad or my modem is the problem but the Wi-Fi stops every 30mins for 30secs idk what’s the problem but it might be good and THATS my review for it (I returned it btw)

I am sure this router is awesome, however, it shipped without a power adapter (from the UK) for Australian power sockets. Not sure if I should even attempt to plug it in after buying my own separate adapter. Not sure why this would be shipped if it is a potential fire hazard. I will have to go down a rabbit hole to find out if it is safe to use or not. Not exactly what I want to do on my day off.

Exceleent router, easy to setup and came in a very good packaging. the setup through the mobile app is simple and straightforward and makes your internet come to life really quickly.
