Experience with RT-BE88U
Straighforward to configure and performance is very good. Much more obscure to setup multiple SSID's than older units. Configuring the "table" for the MAC to IP assignments used by the DHCP server is nearly impossible for more than a handful of mappings.

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.

Powerful Router
I’ve been using the 88U for 3 weeks and waited to review the router. I am not that tech savvy. The router was easy to set up and have no problems to date. I think the router app is very useful. This is a powerful router. It covers my 3000sq ft home with no problem. The house is single story. There were several clients that were had random drop offs with my old router. I...

Powerful and easy to set up
I purchased this router as an upgrade to an old Linksys router based on product reviews and my own experience with Asus products. The router is powerful with good features, easy to set up, and provides Wifi & capability and good features and functionality.

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.

So far, so good
This was a replacement for an older ASUS router. Saving the configuration files and loading on the new router was easy. I liked the ability to have more Ethernet ports and the use of SFP for my 10GE LAN connection

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 be...

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. 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.

Unit performs great when working. It seems to be easily disconnected, or lose connection when it needs to be restarted. Other than that it is fine.

Dear BCRocker,Â

Thank you for your comment.
We do understand your disappointment with the product and the inconvenience this may have caused if you are unable to establish an internet connection. To resolve the connection problem, please verify if the router's security credentials matches with your ISP's modem credentials. Check if the PC or device connecting to the router is working properly and within range to the router, the router is within 30 feet to the ISP's modem, if not wired with a network cable, and ISP's internet service or connection is working properly or stable. Legacy devices may not work properly with WIFI6-7, please check updates for these devices. Additionally, try connecting this manually to either 2.4GHz or 5GHz and update 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 . For helpful tips on how to setup the router properly, please visit our product support page at: https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1016107/ . Furthermore, place the router in the center of the area you want to cover, avoid placing the router near metal objects, electronic devices or direct sunlight, position the router on a flat, hard surface and halfway between the floor and ceiling. Also, dense building materials, such as gypsum, concrete walls and planks can affect Wi-Fi signal penetration.
Should you need further assistance with the product, please email me at [email protected] 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/.Â

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.

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 .
