I would recommend this to a friend!

Monster Hardware and Next-Gen Performance

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) For Me: The ASUS RT-BE88U hits the absolute sweet spot. It offers top hardware, Top-Tier Security Out of the box, you get AiProtection Pro powered by Trend Micro, and insane port flexibility such a dual 10G port configuration (plus four 2.5G ports) at a price beyond competition. It's a top-tier investment for my home network

Internet connectivity issues
on June 4, 2026

This router is garbage; do not buy it.
It keeps disconnecting from the internet, and reconnecting is always tedious. Now it no longer works at all. I always followed the exact steps in the official instructions and often had to repeat them several times before it would finally establish an internet connection.
Today, I am no longer able to establish an internet connection, and I bought this router only a few months ago.
I reverted to my old Linksys router, and it worked right away!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Total garbage

This router has serious connectivity issues.
I had to fight constantly for it to connect to the internet (numerous times as it lost internet connection from time to time) and always succeeded after *many* attempts. I am now unable to make it work, I repeat the exact steps from the instructions and it won`t connect to the internet.
I reverted back to my 6 year old Linksys router and it worked right away! Connected the same way...
Do not buy, this is total garbage.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Plusieurs difficultés. J'essaie de les résoudre.
Il y a aussi de bons éléments, heureusement.
J'espère ne pas avoir à le retourner.
À suivre.
