So far this unit has performed flawlessly. Initial setup was easy and a mesh setup was simple using the app on my phone.

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.

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

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 behind instead of ready for WiFi7. I'll need to buy another down the road. Bad on me for not reading carefully, buyer beware, read the fine print before buying.

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. Should you need further assistance with the product, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I would be more than happy to help.

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.
