First post here so bear with me if I miss anything. Since purchase, my RT-BE92U has been plagued with the same issues others have posted here. Up until the new firmware version dropped, I was having constant problems with network stability. I am currently running the latest firmware version (3.0.0.6.102_37435) and a lot of the issues seem to have been resolved except for one. Before the firmware update, I was seeing intermittent thermal zone errors in the system log. Since applying the update, I am consistently getting the following errors that appear every 3 seconds exactly:
Jan 4 18:29:52 kernel: read_bpcm_reg_direct_keyhole: Wait for completion failed, devAddr 0x3, offset 24, idx 2
Jan 4 18:29:52 kernel: thermal thermal_zone0: Failed to get RAIL 0 temperature, ret=256
Jan 4 18:29:52 kernel: thermal thermal_zone0: Failed to get temperature, ret=-1
Jan 4 18:29:52 kernel: thermal thermal_zone0: failed to read out thermal zone (-1)
On occasion, the errors coincide with a drastic decrease in wireless network performance. Under normal conditions, when connected to the 6GHz network, my wireless network download speed averages around 1100Mbps. This will drop to a nearly unusable 2-3Mbps. The 2.5GHz and 5GHz networks also see a decrease in speed to around the same 2-3Mbps. Wired clients seem unaffected. Once I perform a hard reset to the router, it seems to correct the speed issue for a while, but the thermal zone errors continue to persist. This seems to happen anywhere from once a week, to every day. Performing a hard reset isn't something I want to nor should have to keep doing to correct the issue every time it happens. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to stop this from happening. I am getting very close to returning this router and exchanging it for a different brand. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing Cowhow. Worth a shot.

I think the error is on Proc3 monitoring. Reset sends it back to Proc 1 for main load.
Mine started this after the 3rd config change being applied and I see the load on Proc 3 being maxed out / bouncing.

Ugh I see someone else is seeing it on 2 as well.

Alas. I bought my router a week ago. I had grand hopes. I thought at first maybe the issue was Charter/Spectrum, so I switched ISPs to a local fiber outfit. That will end up having been the best outcome of all of this. I will be working from home shortly and I can't wait to see this issue fixed, provided that it is fixed and not actually a hardware issue. This thread has confirmed to me that I have to return the router and try something else. Dang.

I switched units (same router, different unit) to try my luck . Unfortunately, after firmware upgrade and hard reset, etc. I am getting the exact same result. Thermal errors, Deauth errors, 1 core spiking close to 100, etc. I've only had a couple of complete disconnects, but I've had several freezes in video calls, slow speed on speed tests, etc.
I'm torn between giving up or waiting about 10 more days (new return window) for any firmware updates. I've sent Asus a message from the administration page and didn't hear back. I see no recent messages from Asus on these threads now either.....
