Features
Wi-Fi 7 Performance
By supporting the 320 MHz channels, the Wi-Fi 7 standard delivers double the data transmission capacity with up to 20% higher transmission rates compared to Wi-Fi 6/6E.
Reliable Wi-Fi with Multi-Link
Instead of limiting data transmission to one band, Multi-Link Operation (MLO) allows you to simultaneously connect to devices with multiple bands for greater bandwidth and reliability. This connection also enables seamless switching, which automatically allocates data to the most suitable band to reduce latency.
Flexible Network Port Configuration
With two 10G Ethernet ports, you can quickly transfer massive files with compatible NAS devices and multi-Gig internet services. The rear panel also includes three 1G Ethernet LAN ports alongside a 1G WAN/LAN combo port. Link aggregation support allows you to combine two WAN or LAN connections for increased bandwidth.
Cool and Stable
The RT-BE96U is engineered to deliver optimal Wi-Fi performance with increased clearance under the router to improve airflow through the vents along with a quadruple heat sink design.
Subscription-Free Network Security
One-Tap Security Scan
The RT-BE96U router features 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.

Comprehensive VPN Features
The Instant Guard mobile app gives you one-click secure internet access via the RT-BE96U from anywhere in the world. The site-to-site VPN feature also helps ensure that your data is transferred safely between routers located on different networks.
