- Is the RT-BE82U worth it over a Wi-Fi 6 router?
- If you have Wi-Fi 7 phones or laptops and want lower latency plus a 2.5 GbE port, yes. If your devices are all Wi-Fi 6, a good Wi-Fi 6 router covers you for less.
- Does it have a 6 GHz band?
- No. It is dual-band, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz only. Tri-band Wi-Fi 7 routers add 6 GHz for less congestion.
- Can I use it in an AiMesh network?
- Yes. It works as an AiMesh router or node with compatible ASUS routers, and the 2.5 GbE port makes a good wired backhaul.
- How many devices can it handle?
- ASUS rates it for a large household, and Wi-Fi 7 features like Multi-Link Operation help under load. Real-world capacity depends on layout and interference.
- What is in the box?
- The router, a power adapter, an Ethernet cable and a quick start guide. Wall-mount screws are not included.
- Does it support multi-gig internet?
- Yes, up to 2.5 Gbps on the single 2.5 GbE port. Wired LAN devices beyond that port are limited to gigabit.
- Where is the ASUS RT-BE82U Gaming Router WiFi 7 cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $359.99, as of our latest check.
