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.

There is currently a promotion on Amazon, I have really been wanting this router for a while but with the issues people are having I’m on the fence. Hopefully it’s just a software issue as I really do think I’m going to buy it this weekend 😂
anyone know how much cash back I would get as part of this promotion? Can’t find it anywhere on Asus website.
also, in preparation where would one get the beta firmware?

TBH the router is performing ok. I dont like the occasional slowdowns but they actually might not be the router.
This beta hasn't really changed anything for me (they said it wouldn't resolve the thermal reads and it hasnt). The thermal alerts are a data read not a temp issue, the CPU on the main in use processor is still flapping between 40 and 90% utilization but otherwise it seems like a decent piece of kit. I prefer it hugely to the Eeros and I have eliminated the crashing I had with the netgear. The thermal issue is cosmetic (but annoying because I think its driving the CPU and writing to the logs) but not critical from what I can see.
