Description

The ASUS RT-BE88U router allows you to game without any lags. You can reach a speed of up to 7200Mbps, divided over the 2.4 and 5GHz band. The router has WiFi 7, so you're less bothered by interference of other devices. This means you can easily connect multiple consoles, streams like Netflix, and smart home devices. To increase the range, connect multiple routers to each other. Multi-Link operation optimally divides the network traffic, so there's no 'traffic jam' at peak consumption. For the highest speeds, you can connect your devices wired to one of the 6 Ethernet ports.

Great product

Good Wi-Fi coverage
Eight LAN ports
Extensive software

With our house from the sixties, a wired backbone is not an option. That is why I opted for a strong router in the middle of the house. With Wi-Fi 7 I can use the latest technology. Most routers with 6GHz are not as strong as this one on 5GHz. Because it will take a while before 6GHz is the standard, I opted for a lot of speed on the 5GHz band and to leave out 6GHz. This is not only fast, but also has 8 LAN ports. The software is very extensive, but still simple. All in all a great product.

Bad

Easy to setup
Looks nice if that is important to you
Web interface full of bugs

Web interface full of bugs and very laggy. If you want to be more advanced it becomes even worse. I figured it out because I have a tech background. I you want a plug and play gaming router I would say there better ones out there for that price.

At the moment I have Business Internet Pro, where I had a lot of problems with video calling with Microsoft Teams due to my previous router. I wanted to rule out that it was due to an outdated router and also wanted to be ready for the fiber optic connections. After unpacking the router, I spent some time trying to get it working through the various options. But after that, this router is a breath of fresh air in terms of speed, range and possibilities. After installation, I no longer had any problems with problems.

In addition, this router also offers WAN Aggregation so that you can go from your modem (bridge) to your router with two cables. This gives you a better load. A DUAL WAN is also possible. This is fairly easy to set up.

In addition, you can also set up a VPN server to give others access to your network. So that you do not have to open your ports.

When is this router suitable for you if you:

Have a 10 GB or 2.GB WAN Fiber network at home and you only have 1 GB network
When your switch also supports 10GB or 2.5 GB

Do not buy:

When you have a network that is set up for 1GB
