    Is exhaust fan needed for BE96U

    ASUS told me the temps were normal for this model, with 50⁰-65⁰ C being considered normal by them. They did compliment us for using USB-powered fans to reduce the internal temps, but that the levels were normal. Since my unit works better with temps in the low 40's, I question what they...

    Is exhaust fan needed for BE96U

    So you claim. Got the fans, and CPU is down to 43⁰ C, with the radios ranging from 40⁰-45⁰ C. Speed test results show speeds have increased almost 30%, with browsers and other Internet apps showing big improvements in speed and responsiveness. The fans made a huge difference.

    Is exhaust fan needed for BE96U

    Where did you purchase your exhaust fan? Amazon? My BE96u sits at 60° C even with the house at 22° C.

    Release ASUS ZenWiFi Pro ET12 Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_36602 (2025/05/05)

    Did you try turning off your router and node, then rebooting your modem/gateway, then restarting your router and node after the modem/gateway finished booting? That fixed the issue for me.

    GT-BE98 Dropping all devices, wired and wireless

    I had a similar WiFi issue with my BE96; my solution was to disable MLO, Wifi 7, and disabled the Wi-Fi 7 MU-MIMO settings in the WiFi Professional tab for the 2.4 and 5 GHz radios; then I setup the 6 GHz with a separate SSID. Then I turned on just WiFi 7 for the 6 GHz; so far no issues.

    BE96U older firmware downloads missing

    I just noticed today that only the most recent firmware, v3.0.0.6.102_37812, is available for download for the BE96U. Co-workers confirmed this when they checked too. Anyone know why the others were pulled?

    High Latency Issues on WiFi? GT-BE98 Pro

    But if the Ethernet cable is damaged, it can still cause the latency issues. I had this same problem with my BE96U, and replacing the Ethernet cable between the 96U and my AT&T BGW320-505 fix the WiFi latency issues. I don’t know why it fix it, just that the issue disappeared and never came...

    High Latency Issues on WiFi? GT-BE98 Pro

    None of you have said if you’ve tried the obvious fixes: Reboot ISP-provided modem/gateway. Replaced Ethernet cables between router and modem/gateway/ONT. Made sure devices your speed testing on have latest OS versions and drivers.

    BE96U signature update

    The signature for the BE96U has been updated to 2.432. You can update the signature manually on the firmware update page by clicking on Check next to Signature version. Assume other Asus routers can also update to this signature version.

    BE96/98 updates

    I’ve only for the BE96, so I’m not seeing any updates yet. My boss says resetting the BE98 Pro fixed the speed and weird SSIDs issues for him, if that helps.

    iPhone 16 pro picks 5ghz instead of 6 (GTBE98 pro / BE96U mesh)

    1. Update the iPhone 16 to iOS 18.0.1, released yesterday. 2. Reset the network settings on the iPhone. Settings>General>Transfer or Reset iPhone>Reset>Reset Network Settings. If that doesn’t work, then there’s something weird with the routers.
