Great overall option

Easy enough to get up and running and nearly doubled the speed of my regular modem/router from my isp and great house coverage too

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.

Dear MoJack, Thank you for your comment. We do understand your disappointment with this router and the inconvenience this may have caused if you don't see a 6TGHz frequency for WIFI-7. This router does support WIFI-7, you can access WIFI-7 inside the router's settings, locate for wireless settings and enable WIFI-7 mode, or 6GHz band. Ensure your devices support WIFI-7 for optimum performance. If you don't see this option available inside Settings, we recommend updating the router's firmware if it is running with an older version.

ROUTER REPLACEMENT

I was using the router that was supplied by the provider but there were certain areas in my home where the wifi connection was really weak and would go in and out frequently. Since i have purchased the RT-BE88U the signal strenght throughtout the house is much better and in the areas where the signal was weak it is much stronger and consistent. Very satisfied and confident with the unit.

Working well so far

So far, the device has worked great. With previous device, had sporadic connectivity and appeared it was on the way out. Have had no inconsistent connectivity with new ASUS device; working as expected. Have never had an ASUS router before, so time will tell but so far so good. Thanks!

Disappointed.

For a wired Network it's fantastic. For a primary wi-fi, it's pretty good. But, the guest wi-fi and guest portal features haven't worked, setting up a vpn on it hasn't worked, and seems to have a 50/50 chance of completely losing WAN connection to the modem after a simple reboot. This isn't my first rodeo setting up a home network, no other major brand has given me this much difficulty. For the amount I spent on this device, I'm absolutely disappointed. Especially after buying the ROG Ally X, and built my son's PC with Asus GFX card, Mobo, and monitor which have been wonderful, I expected a quality router to match this experience.

Dear Lior, Thank you for your comment. We do understand your disappointment and the inconvenience this may have caused if you are experiencing connection problems. To resolve the unstable connection, place the router in a central location within your home, away from walls and obstructions, keep it elevated off the floor and away from electronic devices that may cause interference. For the guest account access issue, check if the PC or device connecting to the router is working properly and within range to the router. If these are legacy devices connecting to the router, these may not work properly with WIFI6, please check updates for these devices. Also, try connecting this manually to either 2.4GHz or 5GHz.. Also, we recommend updating the router's firmware if it is running with an older version. Firmware is available for download at: https://www.asus.com/us/networking-iot-servers/wifi-routers/asus-gaming-routers/rt-be88u/helpdesk_bios?model2Name=RT-BE88U . 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.

Amazing and fast router

Just started using this router but right now I really like it. I recently got fiber internet and this router made it work so much better. Setting it up the network and adding devices to it was a breeze. I was blown away by all of the settings available and everything that it will do. Great range all throughout my house don't even need any range extenders for it. Very happy with the purchase

Tomorrow’s tech today

As I’m sure many deal with, over crowded frequency bands from neighboring wifi’s. When I scan the wifi channels, I constantly get over twenty competing networks. The RT-BE88U has the hardware specs to overcome interfering wifi’s. I wasn’t too worried about wifi 6 since my previous wifi 6E router, which I had for only six months, was only able to connect to wifi 6 in direct line of sight. The software is first rate with many settings and info at your disposal. The one recommendation I have is to have your wifi channels fixed which made my connections more stable.

So far, I am very impressed with this unit. The setup was fairly easy, and using the app made it pretty intuitive. I think most people can do this even if they aren't very technologically skilled. The VPN feature is awesome, and the range is acceptable

Best one I have owned so far.

So far so good. I'd love the fact that I had saved settigns from a previous ASUS router and was able to restore it in a few minutes. It saved me a lot of time reconfiguring the new unit.
