Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for your comment We do understand the inconvenience this may have caused if you are experiencing diificulty setting up the router using the web application. For a much smoother configuration experience, use a wired computer and use the comprehensive web interface. Open a Browser and type http://asus.com or 192.168.50.1 into your address bar, then setup your SSIDs, passwords, and admin credentials using a keyboard, mouse, and larger screen, which avoids app crashes and lag. Additionally, disable "Smart Connect" in the wireless settings so your 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands have unique names. This stops smart-switching from dropping smart home (IoT) devices. Should you need further assistance with the product, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I would be more than happy to help. Or, you are most welcome to call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent from the link: https://www.asus.com/us/support/article/1135/. Thank you for choosing an ASUS product. Regards, Rodel ASUS Customer Loyalty

It's fast, but who is watching???

Much faster than the one we replaced, but I'm now concerned this one will show up on the FCC list of banned routers.

Easy setup

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

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.

A powerful router with great security

The setup of my Asus 88u router went well with the only hiccup was finding the NAT passthrough for my server. There are two separate places in the menu; one for ip6 and the other for ip4.

RT-BE88U

I’ve been using ASUS routers since 2017 and have never had any issues. I especially like the 88U series for its eight Ethernet ports, along with its excellent coverage and performance.
