Title: Waste of time and money for the average home.
Review: You can literally buy a fake WiFi 7 router, the same as this one, without all the over engineering for £120 here on Amazon UK and comes loaded with 2.5gb/s Wan and Lan ports, does everything this router does, and much easier to work with, also without the ASUS value added tax on top of that, it took me over 3 hours to try and figure things out on this Asus router, I couldnt get any wifi devices to connect to it at all, after various factory resets and no user manual, it turned out it was having a USB stick plugged in the USB port, as soon as it was removed, it lit up like a xmas tree and worked fine, so in order to use the usb port for storage like a nas, you need to set the router up without anything plugged into the USB port, then goto WAN > Dual WAN > and select no to 4G / 5G mobile tethering which is enabled by default, what everyday user is going to know how to do this ? ended up sending it back, this is really not needed for a home router and is a pile of junk.5Initial setup forces you to set up a single wifi 7 network and a single IoT network, with no bypass just incase you dont want to use those features, and once set, they are there for good, you can disable them in the router web config page, but you cant fully remove them, so if you then decide to not use the wifi 7 and split your 2.4 and 5ghz networks, although youve got the 7ghz disabled, they still show up in the network map, and somehow the buggy firmware, mixes up which devices are connect to which which profiles, its very frustrating.So unless you need all these ports for an office or small business to eliminate a switch for instance, dont waste you money on this, not needed for the normal household.

Title: The best router ever
Review: I ordered this as soon as it became available, not from Amazon though.It is the best router for anyone upgrading ethernet to 2.5Gb, four 2.5Gb ports, four 1Gb ports, one 10Gb port (!), and a 10Gb SFP port (!!). The 10Gb and one of the 2.5Gb ports can be configured for WAN or LAN. I use the 10Gb port for WAN at 1Gb and and looking forward to upgrading to 2.5Gb.As well as the ports, another selling point is the WiFi. I don’t need to explain it all, it’s in the product description, but I’ll say that to get a reliable connection to my Steinel L620 wall light cam needed a mesh system to punch 2.5GHz through the walls and steel-framed uPVC doors and windows. With the RT-BE88U I don’t need the mesh and the L620 connection never falters. I set up an IoT network for it but this wasn’t necessary.The firmware is as sophisticated as you’d expect from Asus.This is a splendid versatile router.

Title: Worst Asus router I’ve owned
Review: I thought upgrading to WiFi 7 and the latest Asus would be a good idea, as I’ve owned several Asus routers previously. However, despite being faster than the model it replaced, it’s proving to be very unreliable. It seems incapable of delivering a consistent connection to iPhone 15’s or my Apple TVs, where there was no issue with my previous router. I’ve now been trying various settings for most of the day and I’m just about ready to put it in the box and return it. Just be aware if you buy one, that in this case, progress isn’t always better.

Title: OK but could be better
Review: This router looks the biz and works really well in close range over a bigger area the signal drops and isn’t great which is a shame, an additional node may help but with limited signal range that may have issues
