  • Solid Router - Hardware and Software - Lots of Wired Ports
Style: 7.2 Gpbs | 10G SFP+
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 worked for 10+ years. This ASUS RT BE88U provides full coverage without the additional extender. It has Ai Mesh capabilities so if I needed to push my range further deep over the 1/2 acre lot. I bought this particular router because #1 ASUS makes great routers, #2 this router will cover 3000 sq ft, and #3 all the performance hardwired ports.... I am using 4 of the wired ports now and there are 4 more for future proofing. Plus there are two 10Gb ports - one for the input WAN, and one for maybe a future NAS. This router has most everything one would need. It is not a gaming specific router, but it is a high performance all purpose router. The one thing it does NOT have is the 6GHz band. I was on the fence about even having the 6GHz because sometimes all the bugs aren't out of managing that third band. And 2.4GHz and 5GHz exceed my performance needs without any hassles of the 6GHz band. And even though it does not have the third band, it has ALL the other performance tech that comes with WiFi7. I am very happy with this router. Would definitely buy again. ... show more

  • Asus RT-BE9700 Router
Style: 7.2 Gpbs | 10G SFP+
I am replacing one of the two RT-AX88U Asus routers I bought in 2021. The setup is very similar as the old router, except I used the Asus app instead of my laptop to set it up this time. I have been setting up routers for many years, so I am familiar with some of the settings needed to set one up, but there is always new features to explore. If you get into the advanced settings you can really customize this router to your liking. It is faster than my WiFi 6 router and the range is incredible. I opted for a dual band rather than a tri band because I like the range of the 5 gigahertz over the 6 gigahertz band. Setting up a router there is always some frustration involved with multiple reboots and a few quirks, but my experience wasn't too bad. I would rate the frustration level as manageable with a few snack breaks included. I like the 2 wan ports and 8 lan ports. It makes connecting my networked wired house easy to connect. I also like the ability to connect a cell phone hot spot to the router. If this router lasts as long as my old one I will be very happy. It is very customizable and very capable. ... show more

  • Asus RT-BE88U just works!!
Style: 7.2 Gpbs | 10G SFP+
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 documentation for settings. You must re-sign in EVERY SINGLE TIME! 3. You can NOT change the admin user name. You must use "admin." Without the ability to change the admin name Netgear reduced your router access security by 50%. 4. In order to gain access to the needed security for the router, you MUST pay an annual subscription!! 5. Netgear customer service people are rude to you if you turn down the subscription sales pitch, and then reqest to get I.T. support on an issue. They actually hung up on me. At first I thought the over-seas phone line dropped. However, when I called back 2 or 3 times, they would not even answer the phone. CONCLUSION: I returned the RS700S for a full refund and bought an ASUS RT-BE88U router. Everything mentioned above is NOT an issue. Their admin user name can be changes, you have a huge amount of control within the admin menu (including how long you wish the menu to time-out.) NO annual subscription fees. Signals on 2.4, 5, and 6G are very solid. I have 15 devices and not one of them has ever dropped a signal. Also, reboot times are much fast than Netgear's. Great router, security, menu interface, and performance! Customer service wasn't needed because this router just WORKS!! ... show more

  • This is a excellent Router for a home network.
Style: 7.2 Gpbs | 10G SFP+
This is an excellent network router. It comes with adguard already installed, and it is easily accessable online to the router's dashboard to access the routers settings. Many options and custon settings easily accessed thru the dashboard. The WiFi 7 made a major improvement for wireless streaming tv in my home, it eliminated buffering on 2 tv's in my home. Setup was very easy too. ... show more

  • If it's not passing internet - red light on - take a look here
Style: 7.2 Gpbs | 10G SFP+
Been running Asus routers for many years, got this one and it worked for about a week, lost internet (red light on, no connection). Finally returned it. Broke down and got a replacement, same thing. First thing in the morning, no internet again (and again this was a few days after install). Finally find in the manual where it checks for firmware updates every night at midnight and will shut itself down if the firmware is too far out of date. We're in test mode right now, but it made it through the first night! Other than not passing internet, I love the thing (why I tried a second one). ... show more

  • It Worked Great Until It Didn't It Worked Great Until It Didn't
Style: 7.2 Gpbs | 10G SFP+
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 use my old reliable 4 port AX86U with a switch & the BE88U is getting returned. Attached are my speed test screenshots. The 1st is the BE88U & the 2nd the AX86U. I hope that this was just a bad router & not that ASUS's quality is going down. For the price of this router I expected much more that what was delivered. One other thing to note is that the ports on the back seem sort of close together. If you have an ethernet cable that has a little more covering on the end, it is really tight. ... show more

  • A Solid Workhorse of a Router
Style: 7.2 Gpbs | 10G SFP+
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 LAN, 4x Gigabit LAN ports. The BE88U is fully compatible with Asus-Merlin firmware version 3006.*.*. The Asus-Merlin firmware has the AMTM script manager built in, which means you can easily install Diversion, Skynet, and other useful scripts for tailoring your internet experience. If the last sentence made no sense to you, that is OK. The BE88U can still be a great router for you, but you will not be utilizing its full potential. ... show more

  • Fast WiFi 7 router with SFP+, one10 Gbit, four 2.5Gbit, and four 1Gbit wired ports
Style: 7.2 Gpbs | 10G SFP+
This is the classic Asus design, but the computer power inside and the WiFi 7 speed establish a clear improvement in performance. The online management interface is intuitive as always. The router is great because it has so many ports that it can function as your household switch at the same time, with 4x2.5Gbit ports, 4x1Gbit ports, a 10 Gbit WAN in port, and an SFP+ port that can be used as an additional 10 Gbit port if desired. WiFi performance to my iPhone provides a 1.4 Gbit/s speed test result for download, the same as my wired connections (and the max from my internet provider). Note that there is no 6GHz band, but this is useless to most users unless you are within 25 feet, and line of sight with no walls or obstructions. You would only need 6GHz for a gaming room setup or similar. Cannot be beat for the price (got it for $279). ... show more
