ASUS Dual-band WiFi 7 Extendable Wireless Router - RT-BE82U

Product Details
ASUS RT-BE82U Dual-band WiFi 7 Extendable Wireless Router
Bring faster, smarter home networking to a growing connected household with the ASUS RT-BE82U. This dual-band WiFi 7 extendable router delivers speeds up to 6500 Mbps across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, giving streaming, gaming, work and smart-home traffic a next-generation foundation.1 Advanced 160 MHz channels help accelerate transfers, lower latency and accommodate more devices, while 4096-QAM provides up to 20% more efficient data transmission than WiFi 6/6E 1024-QAM.2 Multi-Link Operation intelligently combines and switches between both bands rather than limiting compatible devices to one connection path.3 Four external antennas and six high-power front-end modules help deliver reliable signals in every direction, with stated coverage up to 2500 sq ft.1
Engineered for an always-on connection, the RT-BE82U pairs a quad-core 2.0 GHz CPU with 1 GB of RAM to support advanced networking features. Five 2.5G Ethernet ports provide a multi-gigabit wired backbone, including one 2.5G WAN port, four 2.5G LAN ports and support for 2.5 Gbps Ethernet backhaul. USB WAN adds another internet connection option, while USB 4G LTE and 5G mobile tethering can help maintain access while traveling or during an internet outage. ASUS AiMesh support also makes it easy to extend the network with any AiMesh-compatible ASUS router, regardless of WiFi generation, while enabling seamless roaming throughout the home.
Commercial-grade protection and practical controls help safeguard everyone and every connected device. AiProtection Pro powered by Trend Micro combines a one-tap Security Scan, Safe Browsing, automatic security updates and instant new-device notifications. Smart Home Master creates dedicated IoT, Kids and VPN Network SSIDs, while subscription-free parental controls offer an activity dashboard, preset age-level profiles, flexible scheduling and safety filters. For encrypted connections, the router supports WireGuard, OpenVPN, multiple simultaneous VPN tunnels and ASUS Instant Guard.4 The ASUS Router mobile app streamlines installation with a three-step setup and puts controls on a smartphone, while the ASUSWRT interface offers another way to manage the network. A design using 30% post-consumer recycled plastic and FSC Mix-certified packaging rounds out a router built with a more sustainable future in mind.
