- Useful for fiber, NAS, desktops, switches, consoles, mesh backhaul, and power-user home networks
- Use VPN connections at the router level for devices that cannot run VPN apps
- Route selected devices through VPN while keeping others on your normal ISP connection

Best Use Cases
Large Home + Many Devices
Great for households with smart TVs, phones, laptops, tablets, gaming consoles, and connected home devices competing for bandwidth.

ASUS RT-BE92U FlashRouter FAQ
Is the ASUS RT-BE92U a good VPN router?
Yes. The RT-BE92U is a strong ASUS VPN router choice because it combines tri-band Wi-Fi 7, a 6 GHz band, multi-gig wired ports, AiMesh support, and router-level VPN routing options.
Why choose the BE92U instead of the BE58U?
Choose the BE92U if you want tri-band Wi-Fi 7, 6 GHz support, 10G networking, and stronger multi-gig wired flexibility. Choose the BE58U if you want a lower-cost ASUS Wi-Fi 7 router for a smaller or simpler setup.
How does the BE92U compare to the BE88U?
The BE92U is the better fit if you want tri-band Wi-Fi 7 and 6 GHz support. The BE88U is more appealing for wired-heavy homes that value extra port flexibility and do not require a 6 GHz band.
Can I use VPN on only some devices?
Yes. ASUS VPN routing features can help place selected devices on VPN while allowing other devices to use the normal ISP connection, which is useful for banking, gaming, work apps, local services, and streaming scenarios.
Which VPN providers can I use with this router?
The BE92U can be used with many popular VPN providers supported by ASUS router VPN features and FlashRouters setup workflows, including NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Surfshark, Proton VPN, PIA, IPVanish, and others.
Is ASUS Instant Guard the same as a commercial VPN?
No. Instant Guard is mainly for secure remote access back to your home network. A commercial VPN client setup routes selected home devices through a VPN provider such as NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Surfshark, or another supported provider.
