I replaced two routers that were not configured with AIMESH.  I used to switch between connections when I wanted to connect to devices connected to one or the other router.  It was time to upgrade the routers as they were aging.  I bought a pair of RT-BE88U routers and cloned them as an AIMESH pair.  I am now enjoying the single wi-fi network with great coverage at both ends of my dwelling and all my devices are accessible from a single connection.  Very happy with the performance also.

The coverage and convenience of ASUS AIMESH

Lots of good information on this router out on Youtube, flawless setup and I named it what my older router was named and it did not skip a beat on all my IOT devices. The only thingI ran into was being able to print from IOS devices when setting up my printer on the USB as an LPR. No problem I moved it to a network port and didn't look back, problem resolved. LPR printing worked fine for the PC just not the IOS and andriod devices. I like to print my grocery list from the frig when I'm not looking in it from my iphone at the grocery store. Some of the best control features I have ever had on a home router with tons of security you can use with no monthly subscriptions or extra costs. THis router has everything and then some. The tools it has built in are some of the best and for the person that is not techy it is very quick and easy to setup following the prompts. If you are replacing your current and already have home automation just name it exactly the same using the current passwords and it is flawless. Guest wifi can be linked to Alexa and you can turn it on and off via voice command or set a timer for guests visiting like your mom and spy on the sites she is going to. You can also use parental setup and cut off the kids every night setting their network connection to turn off in a scheduller. It monitors any attacks and stops them and records events. You can monitor every site people are going or turn it off if you are being naughty. It has a ton of features you will dive into. Extremely fast and stable, My biggest complaint is I did not get it sooner and have been watching Youtubes that studder for the past year. I bought this in mind I would use my old router as an AP but after setting this up I don't want my NG anywhere near this ASUS configuration so in the box of old toys it went. This is plenty giving me massive coverage. It also has VLAN capabilities  as well if I ever need them. I feel like I'm on an enterprise network. Do yourself a favor and get the RT-BE88U before another model takes it's place.

Hands Down the BEST!, 110% better speed.

Setup for VOIP and so far works really good. I have Starlink and Orbi Mesa System, which weren't working with my VOIP setup. Calls seem clear and working much better.

Good products so far.

This is my second asus router. Using older one for mesh connection.

Exceptional

High end prosumer router - with a Firewalla between this and your ISP it is amazin

High end router well worth the price

I'm extremely happy with this router. I love the amount of control the ASUS app allows me to have over my home network, and will probably continue purchasing ASUS products for my network needs going forward.

Definitely beats ISP provided router

The router is good and fast however it is lacking a fundamental feature on the switching side. That feature is inter-vlan routing, without it the switching is basically useless.

Good But

Once setup, most of my Wi-Fi receivers had trouble holding the signal! The Wi-Fi kept dropping out..then reconnecting saying ‘no internet connection'. Using the previous same ssid and password, only half of my devices reconnected with the new router, the rest I had to completely remove from the system and do a complete install/re-hook up. As I was letting the router do its thing, reading up on it, more of my devices came on line! Having gone through this, this router is now working as advertised!

Initial setup went well.

Ultimately, the router is working as expected, perhaps slightly better. This primary issues I had with getting the router set up is the clarity ( or lack of clarity) around how to set it up to do what is needed. Documentation is not clear, functions are buried in screens that may or may not be logically where you would expect. Thankfully, I was able to work with Claude to get the configuration in place, but even wit h that, it was many hours over two days to get I like I wanted it.

RT-BE88U Configuration

I brought three of these routers. The mesh mostly behaved great. "One router kept dropping". I realized the management tool (APP) on my android might be the issue. I deleted the app, downloaded the new app and installed it. The new app is pretty and blinking, but functionally useless.

The Routers Seem Fine, The APP Sucks

worked great for about 18 months --then just quit..  trying to get repaired or replaced

dead after 18 months
