Asus launches RT-BE86U router with Wi-Fi 7 support and enhanced security features

zdnet.com

The Asus RT-BE86U router, priced at $300, supports Wi-Fi 7, offering fast speeds and enhanced security features. It requires Wi-Fi extenders for optimal performance, which can add to costs. While Wi-Fi 7 has been available since January 2024, adoption has been slow. More devices are now compatible, including the RT-BE86U, which provides strong performance but lacks a 6GHz band. Setup is user-friendly through the Asus Router app, allowing for easy configuration and access to security tools. The router covers up to 2,750 square feet, but users may experience connectivity issues at longer distances.
