RT-BE82U

I use this one, it has Wi-Fi 7, and 5 2.5GbE ports. RT-BE82U. It;s on sale big time, but out of stock.I searched for about a week never finding a good router, then finally found this one. I want to get a second one to use for a mesh on the other side of my house.https://www.asus.com/us/networking-io

I just switched to KUB! I bought my own router from best buy. I personally prefer ASUS, and I went with the RT-BE82U. Seemed like a good balance of cost and the features I needed. So far kub has been working well.

I just bought the ASUS RT-BE82U router yesterday and installed it this morning. Very straight forward installation. Reasonable price at $139.

Pretty much any router will work fine for what you have. The Gl.iNet Flint 3 (GL-BE9300) is a good router with 2.5GbE WAN and LAN ports and tri-band WiFi 7 (2.4, 5 & 6GHz WiFi) for around $210. The Asus RT-BE82U also has 2.5GbE WAN and LAN ports, but with dual-band WiFi 7 (no 6GHz) for around $170.

TLDR: I'd suggest the RT-BE82U for dual-band WiFi 7 (2.4ghz/5ghz) as it has 2.5gb WAN/LAN ports. I'd suggest the TUF-BE9400 for tri-band WiFi 7 (also has 2.5gb WAN/LAN ports) and also has 6ghz band if that is important.

No worries, glad you found it useful. By the way the TP Link products (such as the BE6500) are generally a better value than most other router brands if you do not plan to use TP-Link's additional security features. With TP-Link you only get basic security with the router purchase, then you need to

(Part 1/2) How large is the residence that needs WiFi coverage? On how many floors (looks like just two)? Are you interested in WiFi 6E or WiFi 7? What's your budget? I'll assume a maximum of $300 USD. I'll focus on WiFi 7 below, but if you specify additional requirements I could share additional re

We're happy with our 802.11be Asus RT-BE82U Router bought a few months ago in Dec 25. It has more than enough ports for us. There's no problem with wifi reach, but it's a smallish one-storey home. We don't do competitive gaming, just single player games (with no problem). No problem with our smartho

What router did you get? You could get another R7000P for less than $25 on eBay (used, good condition). If you want an upgrade pick the ASUS RT-BE82U looks good. Dual-Band WiFi 7 (2.4ghz & 5ghz bands). Most people probably don't need the 6ghz band. https://www.asus.com/networking-iot-servers/wifi-ro
