Our take on the ASUS RT-BE82U

The ASUS RT-BE82U is a dual-band Wi-Fi 7 router with a 2.5 Gbps WAN/LAN port and four external antennas. It supports 4K-QAM and Multi-Link Operation for high throughput, and includes AiMesh for whole-home coverage. It suits gamers and households with many devices who want Wi-Fi 7 without a tri-band price. Compared with tri-band rivals, it offers fewer bands but similar peak speeds on the 5 GHz band.
