FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions 

 

ASUS PCE-BE92BT (BE9400) Wi-Fi 7 + Bluetooth 5.4 — FAQ

What is the ASUS PCE-BE92BT?
The ASUS PCE-BE92BT is a PCIe x1 desktop adapter that adds tri-band Wi-Fi 7 (2.4/5/6GHz) and Bluetooth 5.4, with WPA3 security and a freestanding magnetic antenna base for better signal placement. 
What speeds does “BE9400” mean?
ASUS lists BE9400 class link rates of up to 688 Mbps (2.4GHz) + 2882 Mbps (5GHz) + 5764 Mbps (6GHz) (theoretical). Real-world speeds depend on router, distance, interference, and client settings. 
Does it work on AMD motherboards?
This is a top question online. ASUS’ own platform support guidance states it’s for Windows 11 and notes compatibility requirements around Intel platforms (Intel Gen 13+ / Intel motherboards). Users on Reddit also discuss AMD compatibility concerns. If you’re on AMD, check carefully before buying. 
What operating systems are supported?
ASUS lists Windows 11 64-bit support on the official spec page. Drivers are also provided for Windows 11/10 64-bit on the ASUS download page. 
Do I need Windows 11 24H2 for “full” Wi-Fi 7 features?
ASUS notes that Wi-Fi 7 full functions support is ready in the Windows 11 2024 platform (Windows 11 24H2) or later. If you want the smoothest Wi-Fi 7 experience, Windows 11 24H2+ is the safest path. 
Does it support the 6GHz band (Wi-Fi 6E/7)?
Yes—ASUS lists 6GHz support and 320MHz capability for Wi-Fi 7. Availability can still depend on your router settings, drivers, OS version, and local/regional rules. 
My 6GHz network doesn’t show up — what are the common fixes?
Common fixes people ask about online:
  • Update to Windows 11 24H2 (Wi-Fi 7 readiness) and reboot. 
  • Install the latest ASUS Wi-Fi driver from the support page. 
  • Check your router: 6GHz enabled, SSID not hidden, WPA mode compatible.
  • Some users report 6GHz issues in certain setups/OSes (seen in community threads). 
Does it support 320MHz on 6GHz everywhere?
ASUS notes that while the card supports 320MHz on 6GHz, compatibility can vary with certain motherboard models due to regulatory/timing factors, and some platforms may need BIOS updates to enable the full 320MHz behavior. 
Will Bluetooth work just by installing the PCIe card?
Wi-Fi uses PCIe, but Bluetooth typically requires the included internal USB header cable from the card to a motherboard USB 2.0 header. If you don’t connect that cable, Bluetooth may not appear in Windows. 
Which PCIe slot do I need?
The adapter is PCI-Express x1. It’s commonly installed in an x1 slot, and many boards can also accept x1 cards in longer slots (x4/x8/x16) depending on the motherboard. Always check your board layout and clearance near the GPU. 
Is the external antenna base important?
Yes—ASUS highlights the freestanding/magnetized antenna base so you can position antennas away from the metal PC case for better reception and fewer dead zones (very useful if your desktop sits under a desk). 
What security does it support (WPA3)?
It supports WPA3 for improved Wi-Fi security (router must also support WPA3 for WPA3 mode). 
Which drivers should I install first?
Install both:
  • Wi-Fi driver from ASUS support
  • Bluetooth driver from ASUS support
ASUS provides current driver packages on the official download page. 
Why is my Bluetooth missing or unstable?
The most common reasons:
  • Internal USB header cable isn’t connected (Bluetooth won’t enumerate). 
  • Bluetooth driver not installed/updated. 
  • Windows power saving: disable “Allow the computer to turn off this device” for the Bluetooth adapter.
Is this a good upgrade vs a USB Wi-Fi dongle?
Most people upgrade to PCIe for stronger reception and more consistent performance—especially with the external antenna base placement. For Wi-Fi 7/6GHz, your router and OS support matter just as much as the adapter.
