RT-BE88U - It just works!

Great router. User friendly UI with a deep feature set. Highly configurable to get things working the the way you need it. 10x the features at half the price of the top of the line Nighthawk.

Powerful Router

I’ve been using the 88U for 3 weeks and waited to review the router. I am not that tech savvy. The router was easy to set up and have no problems to date. I think the router app is very useful. This is a powerful router. It covers my 3000sq ft home with no problem. The house is single story. There were several clients that were had random drop offs with my old router. I have had none so far with the 88U. My old router was wifi6. Big difference having WiFi 7 as far as speed. I would recommend this router.

Not really the upgrade I was looking for.

This wifi router is in with the WIFI7 stuff, last time I looked. It doesn't have the 6Ghz frequency that is the new frequency for WiFi7, so I'm not sure I really got an upgrade from my previous Asus RT-AX3000. Both have 2.5Fhz and 5 Ghz and maybe the new one has more WiFi sharing technology for the existing frequency methods/technology but it leaves me a generation behind instead of ready for WiFi7. I'll need to buy another down the road. Bad on me for not reading carefully, buyer beware, read the fine print before buying.

Powerful and easy to set up

I purchased this router as an upgrade to an old Linksys router based on product reviews and my own experience with Asus products. The router is powerful with good features, easy to set up, and provides Wifi & capability and good features and functionality.

Easy setup

Setup was easy. This router is used as a node in an AI Mesh system and even that was completely "hands free".
