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.

What is a VPN?

VPN is an acronym for ‘Virtual Private Network’, historically used by private organizations to seamlessly link geographically diverse locations via the Internet. A VPN ‘tunnels’ traffic between two devices by transmitting it over a secure network. There are also clearly identifiable benefits to individual Internet users accessing a VPN.

  • A VPN provides you with top-level security and privacy for all your Internet downloading, streaming and browsing. As long as you are signed into your VPN account, all data you transmit over the Internet is encrypted.
  • A VPN encrypts your device by hiding the IP address assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and replacing it with the IP address of your choosing from the list of server locations belonging to your VPN provider. This masks your identity when visiting sites that geo-restricted content, and helps you avoid devious local Internet marketing and advertising schemes that track you through your IP address.

Is a VPN Subscription included?

We offer discounted NordVPN 2 Year Standard Subscriptions - routers over $350 include it FREE  and under $350 it is only $40 when you purchase any FlashRouter. 

For all other VPNs, you would need to sign up for one separately, directly from a provider.

Need assistance in finding a VPN Provider? Please visit our recent VPN Provider Listings.

*If you return your router you will be charged the full price of the Nord subscription

Can I change my IP address to on in another country?

YES! The countries that you can change your IP address to depend on the offerings of your specific VPN providers. Prices and server locations vary across all VPN providers.

If you choose to purchase a FlashRouter then you will not have to install any VPN client software on your computer to change your IP address; the VPN will already be configured within the router. Therefore, any device you plug into this FlashRouter is automatically assigned the IP address of your selected VPN server.

Should my FlashRouter replace my old router?

A FlashRouter will work as a standalone router by connecting your modem to its Wide Area Network (WAN) port, or using it in a Dual Router Network by connecting it to your existing router through a Local Area Network (LAN)/Ethernet port. Either way a FlashRouter can be configured to tunnel all traffic through the VPN server of your choosing.

If you would like to set up your Home Network so that some devices are being tunneled through a VPN server, and others are connecting to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) within your home country, then using your FlashRouter as an auxiliary device is recommended.

A FlashRouter will not replace your modem though but can be used along side it.

Will a FlashRouter speed up my connection?

FlashRouters are relatively new models that may enhance data transfers across your home network or extend the range of your Wireless signal. However, the speed at which you download or stream content can not exceed the speed of the connection you pay for through your ISP. Purchasing a FlashRouter or signing up for VPN service WILL NOT transform your regular connection into a high-speed broadband connection.

At the same time, if you do have a broadband connection, a FlashRouter with a VPN connection may slow down your transfer speeds due to the processor encrypting all of your data. In certain cases a FlashRouter with a VPN can also prevent throttling by an ISP of specific service like Netflix or Amazon Video.

Does the service plan renew?

All FR service plans automatically renew on a quarterly or annual basis based on the term initially purchased. A reminder e-mail will be sent one week prior to renewal. In your FlashRouter account panel, you can cancel the plan at any time to stop any further renewals.

Does the service plan include a VPN subscription?

We offer discounted NordVPN 2 Year Standard Subscriptions - routers over $350 include it FREE  and under $350 it is only $40 when you purchase any FlashRouter. 

For all other VPNs, you would need to sign up for one separately, directly from a provider.

Need assistance in finding a VPN Provider? Please visit our recent VPN Provider Listings.

*If you return your router you will be charged the full price of the Nord subscription

Does FlashRouters offer phone support?

At this time, we do not provide phone support with our service plans. We have tested phone support for networking troubleshooting in the past but have found that on average caused us to help less customers in a less efficient manner.

However, with a purchase of a yearly Silver Plan or any Gold Service Plan, customers can schedule 1-on-1 remote support sessions via Teamviewer with our engineers and they will provide a hands-on, personal solution, to any problems you may be facing.

Can I purchase a router without a plan and subscribe later?

Yes, you may purchase a service plan at any time. However, we can’t guarantee any pricing, or apply any previously offered discounts or specific features at that later date.

Do I need a Service Plan for a firmware upgrade?

Firmware upgrades are free of charge to any FlashRouter customer!

You can visit our support center and select your specific router model to upgrade your firmware based on the recommendations provided.

If you want the help of our Support Team to assist in this upgrade, you can always sign up for our yearly Silver plan or any Gold Service Plan and schedule a 1-on-1 Teamviewer session in which our trained engineers will take care of the upgrade for you!

All US customers can choose $20 2-3 Day Express Shipping or get discounted Ground Shipping!

Free US Shipping is also available with the purchase of a router with any Silver or Gold Service Plan.

FlashRouters also offers Flat Rate Shipping to 176 countries around the world using FedEx.
