Review: Extremely fast Wi-Fi 7 and way more customization than I expected (worth the learning curve) - I’ve been using the ASUS ZenWiFi BQ16 Pro for about 6 months and it’s been amazing. The biggest difference for me is speed—I’m on a 2 Gbps connection and I can actually get the full bandwidth over Wi-Fi 7 on compatible devices, which I did not expect. It’s the first setup I’ve had where wireless doesn’t feel like a compromise. Although it's a mesh router, I only needed a single unit as it blankets my entire 2500 sq ft home with a very strong signal. The other thing I didn’t fully appreciate until I set it up is how much customizability ASUS gives you. There are tons of settings and options (multi-SSID / smart home network options, VPN features, parental controls, etc.), and it’s clearly built for people who like to tinker. That said, the settings definitely come with a learning curve if you’re not familiar with networking. It’s not “plug it in and forget it” if you want to take advantage of everything it can do. But once I got it dialed in, it’s been totally worth it. It also has two 10G ports on the unit, which is great if you’re building around multi-gig internet or faster wired backhaul. If you want very fast Wi-Fi 7 and you like having a lot of control over your network, this router is a beast. If you hate dealing with settings, expect a little setup time—but the performance payoff is real.
Review: Very Impressed - Replaced Netgear RAX120 with the 1 Pack Asus BQ16 Pro.My computers have Intel BE200 or Qualcomm Fast Connect 7800 WiFi 7 cards installed. Setup didn't fully work with the phone app scanning the QR code on the bottom of the router but did work perfectly setting it up from my desktop PC logging in to the router IP address and creating ID,SSID and password.Once logged in I could access the advanced settings for channel selection and to turn MLO on/off.For the time being I have set the 2.4ghz,5ghz and the 2 6ghz channels to auto and enabled MLO while my learning the new router continues.

### ⭐ "PRO" router doesn't support VLAN
*by P***X on June 13, 2025*

So, it was easy to set up, and the form-factor is very nice (unlike their ugly GT lineup) Buttt... for $500, even though this router is positioned as "IoT ready" (mentioned 11 times on the product's page)... and it has "PRO" in it's name... You do not get all the important features that cheaper routers have (including ASUS) Such as reasonable VLAN support. Sure, you can create an IoT or Guest network but... - You can't assign an Ethernet LAN port to a particular VLAN, as I mentioned - for instance VLAN you use for IoT. For me it was a deal breaker, but I am sure there are other limitations, for example I noticed that cheaper RT-BE88U allows you to enable Guest Portal (captive screen) if you need that... the BQ16 can't do that. The coverage did not impress me either (single node), signal strength displayed by my security cameras around the house was about the same as with my 8-year old Linksys WRT3200ACM. Customer support is also disappointing - when I contacted them the first time and told them that LAN > VLAN page is missing - they told me to Factory Reset the router... wasting my time. instead of checking if the router supports the feature I am asking about. Why ASUS is like that?... I do not understand. I will have to return this router now, because their "PRO" model does not support what other their routers support.
