ASUS RT-BE88U AiMesh Dual-Band WiFi 7 Scalable Router, 4K QAM, MLO, 2x 10Gb/s, SFP+, 4x 2.5Gb/s, 4x 1Gb/s, 34Gb/s WAN/LAN, Network Security, Built-in VPN
The ASUS RT-BE88U is a great WiFi 7 router with all the features you’d expect from a high-end device: two 10Gb/s ports, solid WiFi performance and excellent coverage. This is a real upgrade for anyone looking to future-proof their home network.
However, I should mention that the setup process is a bit more clunky than previous Asus models. They really push you to use the app because otherwise I wouldn’t be able to log in – it’s not as user-friendly as I would have liked. The initial setup takes some patience.
However, once I switched to the app and reinstalled the previous setup, everything fell into place. The router has been working perfectly ever since. The lack of 6GHz support may be a concern for some, but honestly, it’s not a big deal considering how few devices currently support 6GHz.
