ASUS RT-BE88U Overview
Boost your home's wireless network performance for smooth 8K video streaming, online games, and more with the ASUS RT-BE88U BE7200 Wireless Dual-Band Multi-Gig Router. Designed for Multi-Gig internet services and devices, this router supports up to 35G total wired data capacity while using Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) technology to deliver up to 7140 Mb/s throughput across the combined 2.4 and 5 GHz bands.
Featuring both a 10 Gb/s Ethernet RJ45 WAN/LAN port and a 10G SFP+ WAN port, you have the flexibility to connect to either copper wired or fiber internet services. The RT-BE88U also includes a 2.5G Ethernet WAN port alongside three 2.5G LAN ports and four Gigabit-speed Ethernet LAN ports. You can use the USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 port with external storage drives to share files or a mobile 4G/5G device for backup internet connectivity. Integrated VPN features allow you to separate users and devices into separate groups. Your network is protected by AiProtection Pro security features in addition to support for site-to-site VPN connections. ASUS AiMesh compatibility allows you to create a mesh network with other compatible routers as satellites. Use the ASUS Router app to configure and manage your settings.
Extreme Wired Performance
34G Wired Capacity
Future-proof your network with exceptional wired data capacity through dual 10G ports alongside four 2.5G ports and four Gigabit-speed Ethernet ports.
Leap Forward with Wi-Fi 7
Impressive Throughput
The RT-BE88U is designed to achieve blazing-fast wireless speeds of up to 7140 Mb/s, ensuring seamless video streaming, gaming, and other data-intensive tasks.
Dual-Band Multi-Link
Dual-band Multi-Link Operation (MLO) intelligently manages traffic and aggregates bandwidth across both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, reducing congestion and maximizing throughput. Connecting to multiple bands enables seamless switching where your data will be allocated to the most suitable band to reduce latency.
4K-QAM Data Transmission
4K-QAM takes data transmission rates to new heights. By packing signals more densely, 4K-QAM allows you to transmit more information within the same bandwidth. Imagine upgrading from a standard delivery truck to a massive cargo carrier: with 4K-QAM, your data packets can carry more data in each transmission. Compared to Wi-Fi 6, 4K-QAM can improve data transmission rates by up to 20%, meaning faster downloads, smoother streaming, and quicker uploads.
Robust Hardware
Quad-Core
The ASUS RT-BE88U is powered by a powerful 2.6 GHz quad-core CPU, which can handle demanding networking scenarios such as 10 Gb/s connections, next-gen cloud-based computing, cloud gaming, and cloud AI.
Detachable Antennas
Covering up to 3,000 square feet, the four detachable antennas allow you to optimally position them for the best signal.
Extreme Cooling
To handle 10G connections and maximize your online gaming experiences, the RT-BE88U has a 30% larger aluminum plate and heat plate, improving heat dissipation by up to 34%.
Security
Easy Network Segmentation
Use Guest Network Pro to separate devices into different VLAN groups. For example, you can set up dedicated spaces for guests, children, IoT devices, and VPNs.
AiProtection Pro
Ever-evolving online threats such as malicious website phishing, webcam hacking, or ransomware can result in a loss of privacy and finances. Subscription-free AiProtection Pro features offer commercial-grade protection from cyber threats.
Site-to-Site VPN
If you're required to share information or resources between intranets from different locations, such as offices and chain stores, using site to site VPN with WireGuard can quickly help you build up your private network to connect all these places.
Security Scan
The ASUS RT-BE88U features a hassle-free Security Scan, which helps users make sure the router is properly configured for network protection, including Wi-Fi password strength for each sub-network, port configuration, and more.
Safe Browsing
ASUS Safe Browsing provides lightweight DNS-based filtering to block undesirable content and secure your online privacy and browsing experience, all without affecting networking performance.
Supercharging Games
Prioritize Your Game Device
The RT-BE88U comes with a dedicated gaming port that can prioritize gaming traffic from connected devices without any configuration. Optimize network performance for gaming activities, especially in scenarios where multiple devices are simultaneously using the network for various purposes, preventing gaming-related traffic from being negatively impacted by other data transfers or activities on the network.
Elevate Gaming Experiences
Adaptive QoS can prioritize game packets for smoother online play. In addition, the RT-BE88U can provide you with a better online gaming experience with reduced latency, lower ping, and far fewer lost packets.
Mobile Game Mode
Prioritize the network traffic of your favorite mobile game, minimizing lag and latency with just a tap on the ASUS Router app.
