Wireless router ASUS RT-BE88U BE7200 WiFi 7 (802.11be)

The ASUS RT-BE88U is a high-end Wi-Fi 7 router aimed at people with fast internet and many devices on the network. It operates simultaneously in 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands and offers combined speeds up to 1376 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 5764 Mbps on 5 GHz, which is a serious resource for gaming, streaming, and large files. The four external antennas help provide better coverage in larger homes or offices. Thanks to the rich set of high-speed ports, you can comfortably connect a NAS, desktop computer, consoles, and several other machines via cable.

What you get – a strong wireless signal with Wi-Fi 7 and a stable backbone of multi-gigabit LAN/WAN ports. With 1 x 10Gbps WAN/LAN port and 1 x 10Gbps SFP+ port, you can use both 10G internet and a 10G internal network to a NAS or server. The three 2.5Gbps LAN ports and one more 2.5Gbps WAN/LAN port allow you to distribute the higher speed to the main machines – gaming PC, workstation, media server. The USB 3.2 Gen1 port is convenient for quickly sharing an external drive on the local network or simple file/media sharing without a separate server. The built-in QoS gives you control over which traffic has priority – for example, games and voice chat over torrents and updates.

Who it is suitable for – for gamers and power users with fast internet (gigabit and above), many devices, and a need for a serious internal network – NAS, home server, several gaming machines. It is also a good choice for a small office or studio where you combine wired 2.5/10G connections and modern Wi-Fi 7 devices. If you are looking for just a cheap router for basic net and have few devices, this model is probably too serious and unnecessarily complex for you.

The strongest point here is the combination of Wi-Fi 7, 10Gbps/SFP+, and several 2.5Gbps ports – you get a router that can squeeze the maximum out of modern internet and local network, without being just an “expensive Wi-Fi box”.
