Description

Overview

The ASUS RT-BE88U (BE7200) is a dual‑band Wi‑Fi 7 (802.11be) router designed for high‑performance home and small‑office networks.

Key features

• Dual‑band Wi‑Fi 7: up to 5764 Mbps on 5 GHz and up to 1376 Mbps on 2.4 GHz (BE7200 aggregate).
• Multi‑gig wired connectivity: 1×10 Gbps RJ45 (WAN/LAN), 1×10 Gbps SFP+ port, 1×2.5 Gbps WAN/LAN, 3×2.5 Gbps LAN and 4×1 Gbps LAN ports.
• Powerful hardware: 2.6 GHz quad‑core processor with 2 GB RAM and 256 MB flash for concurrent sessions and routing tasks.

Who it’s for: buyers who want next‑generation Wi‑Fi 7 throughput on 2.4/5 GHz combined with multi‑gig wired ports for NAS, high‑speed WAN links or gaming rigs. Note that this model does not provide a 6 GHz (6E) client band — the 6 GHz band is not used by this dual‑band variant — and some user reports have raised firmware/driver stability concerns on early Wi‑Fi 7 Broadcom platforms; checking for the latest firmware and vendor support is recommended before deployment.

Package contents include the RT-BE88U router, RJ‑45 network cable, power adapter, quick start guide and warranty card. For full technical details and setup instructions refer to the official ASUS product and user manual.
