ASUS RT-BE88U WiFi 7 Router - x2 10G Ports, Up to 7.2 Gbps, Mesh Compatible

Good router. I switched from an AC86u to this one. I've been using Asus for over 10 years and I find it practical, stable, and easy to use. I don't want to set up a professional network at home. I usually see a lot of people online recommending migrating everything to a network with Ubiquiti + access point + switch, etc., or an old PC to install pfSense and more. I just want a functional all-in-one and that's it. Separately, I wanted to add a Radxa SBC Q6a to use Armbian and Docker, Portainer, AdGuard, Unbound, Tailscale, and whatever else I want. And everything is working well. Is it an expen

Amazon Rview: Read through to get to the Asus RT-BE88U....This review will most likely not get posted. I purchased the Netgear RS700S as "refurbished," which generally means that it was returned and some how repaired (or at least double check to make sure it is working per manufacturer specs). It was not. Router would continuously drop signal. So it appears that Amazon just repackaged it and sold it, as is.Router Review:1. Administrator menu is very limited on what you can do.2. When accessing the router's admin menu, it times you out after about 15-20 seconds while your trying to read the doc

This is solid router. It performs well - has solid connections to all of my devices, provides 900+ Mbps Up and Down, provides exceptional bandwidth, and manages traffic on 30+ devices. This router replaces the ASUS RT-3100AC which never had a single issue.Router is set up in a 3,100 square foot, 2 story home on a 1/2 acre. So I have Smart Outdoor Plugs to manage lighting, pest controllers and a water fountain. And this router has the range to connect it all. My previous ASUS 3100 almost provided full coverage but i would lose connections on the outer edges. So I added an extender and that work

I've now had this for several months - it replaced a TP-Link WiFi 7 router that was giving me nothing but trouble. TP-Link replaced it, but I decided to try something else and bought this Asus router. It's the one I should have bought in the first place - not only does it work better and more reliably, but it has many more features accessible from the user interface (and without requiring a paid subscription!)I especially like the 10g and 2.5g ports (I have 1g service, but I have 2.5g capable devices in the house) and there are more ports than the TP-Link had. Speed is top-notch, I get the ful

I purchased this router being fully aware that even though it is WiFi 7, it has no 6ghz band. I have 37 clients on my network and only two of them can use the 6ghz band. I also found that with WiFi 7 enabled, my WiiM Home app could no longer find its devices… so I turned off WiFi 7.This router replaced my old six year old RT-AX88U which was working great until the day I unplugged it. The BE88U is a substantial upgrade of the AX88U. The AX88U has 1GB ram, 1.8GHz Quad-Core CPU, a 1x Gigabit WAN port, and 8x Gigabit LAN ports. The BE88U has 2GB ram, 2.4GHz Quad-Core CPU, 2x 10G WAN ports, 4x 2.5G

I was (maybe still am) a diehard ASUS guy, might have to consider other options after this though. The router worked great for about 2 weeks then it lost internet connectivity, after rebooting it once or twice I was able to get it running again. Fast forward 2 more weeks & my internet was crawling slower than dial up! I did a speed test & was amazed at the result. Tried rebooting the router several times (6 or 7) & it would not connect to the internet at all. I have an old RT-AX85U router that this replaced because I needed more ports. I hooked it back up & it took right off. I guess I'll just

I always like Asus products for their reliability and build quality. Easy setup and great mobile app, worked better before the most recent firmware update, and it now has some periodic low signal/connectivity issues which were not there before. This is the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5. I would probably buy it again.

TL; DR: After a couple days of service we're happy with this router's ease of installation/setup & performance so far.Details:This was purchased as our old router (a 2018 ASUS GT-AC5300) was starting to lock up/fail randomly, and more computers in our house have 2.5G network ports, so the old one was becoming a bottleneck. Physical installation was simple, unplug/replug the ethernet cables from the old one into the new, the WAN port and 2.5G/1G ports are clearly labeled. We did take an extra few seconds to make sure the right ports were used for 2.5G-capable devices vs our media center setup o
