Leap Forward with Wi-Fi 7
Wi-Fi 7 introduces revolutionary features that deliver exceptionally fast speeds, extremely low latency, and enhanced reliability. With these advancements, you can experience unparalleled network performance for gaming, streaming, smart home devices, and more. Wi-Fi 7 brings all this to the table - and it retains all the congestion-busting tech of Wi-Fi 6, too.

• Up to 7,200 Mbps Dual-band
• Multi-link 2.4 Ghz + 5 GHz
• Up to 1.2x Faster with 4K-QAM

Impressive Throughput
RT-BE88U achieves blazing-fast wireless speeds of up to 7,200 Mbps, ensuring seamless streaming, gaming, and data-intensive tasks. Whether you're binge-watching your favorite shows or collaborating in a virtual meeting, this router delivers.

4K-QAM Data Transmission
4K-QAM takes data transmission rates to new heights. By packing signals more densely, 4K-QAM allows you to transmit more information within the same bandwidth. Imagine upgrading from a standard delivery truck to a massive cargo carrier: with 4K-QAM, your data packets can carry more "merchandise" (data) in each transmission. Compared to Wi-Fi 6, 4K-QAM can improve data transmission rates by up to 20%, meaning faster downloads, smoother streaming, and quicker uploads.

Dual-Band Multi-Link
Dual-band Multi-Link Operation (MLO) intelligently manages traffic and aggregates bandwidth across both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, reducing congestion and maximizing throughput. Connecting to multiple bands enables seamless switching where your data will be allocated to the most suitable band to reduce latency.
