Great video! My venerable Netgear Nighthawk X6 R8000 (which I purchased wayyy back in September 2016) is still running like a champ and provides all the service my wife and I need for now, but I know that someday soon I'll be getting something more current. Combined with the Nighthawk 2.5Gb CM2000 cable modem, we're happy campers (getting 940 Mbps downloads to our hardwired computers on our 1 GB plan, and anywhere from ~190 to ~300 Mbps wireless to our cellphones depending on where we are in the house -- slows down out in the driveway, of course). Technology certainly has moved on, and I'm saving your video for reviews later. The features on that ASUS look great! Thanks for making your videos short and sweet -- informative and entertaining.

How about next time you just call the video “Asus RT-BE88U review” and help the algorithm when I search for router reviews. Thank you for the review I did not need to watch at this time and a huge big thank you for not putting ads in your videos, I really do appreciate this.

[@timlions1820]

You forgot to mention the cable speeds. Many home that are prewired, have old RJ45 wires that can't reach the new speeds. When I got 1gig fiber optic I had to rewire the house.

[@wmcomprev]

Just as you said, if you have a 500 Mbps Internet connection, you're not going to get 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps), the same applies to your internal network (LAN) connections. If you're going out to the Internet, as long as your connection is faster than the Internet speed, then you're going to get full Internet speed (depending on the speed the other end is sending and how many users you have sharing the Internet). However, if you're talking about LAN speed, such as backing your computer up to a NAS, then a faster LAN speed does make a difference.

[@rdspam]

$95 TP-Link and $25 mesh device, gets my paid-for 300mbps to wired PC and 180Mbps to the furthest bedroom. Netflix, kids gaming, and a Zoom call is, what, 50Mbps? Max? What are people doing that they think they need Gigabit at home?

[@LironSegev]

It really depends on what you do, how many devices are online at the same time and what is each device doing. Are you mainly downloading and Netflix or are you mainly uploading 5gb files and playing online gaming competition while streaming it to KZbin etc. Not everyone is the same and has the same requirements. Hope that helps

[@Paul_Maynard]

The only downside to higher frequences is they have a harder time penetrating objects (like walls) resulting in shorter range. Not usually an issue in a home setting,but it is possible.

[@LironSegev]

correct - WiFi is susceptible to interference with things like thick concrete walls and metal etc. Hard wired is always the right solution if you can

[@Bill_the_Terrible]

@@RelentlessSavageryGaming you need to make sure your ethernet adapter speed setting is set to 1Gbps , or you have a bad cable, try buying a new cable from reputable brand and don't twist or step on it with heavy objects like forcing it through a door underneath.

if your computer only connects to 2.4. do yourself a favor and get yourself a new computer. laptops are only really "good" for 6 years max. a desktop the processor/ram/graphics can all be upgraded to the highest cpu/ram in that generation.

[@LironSegev]

haha true

[@vinniedixon1140]

Been using my current laptop for 7 years, no issues with it.

[@MrPir84free]

Actually, Windows does stupid things at times; it's entirely possible to set your connection, by mistake or even WIndows will do it for you, to the 2.4Ghz band first; you can also go into Windows and change the setting so that 5 Ghz or 6Ghz have priority. At times, it's not even a setting; it's just that the wireless router does not work correctly with a particular device; it happens. I have a windows mini-PC that is 5 ghz capable, but it often connects to the 2.4 Ghz; solution: Create a 5Ghz only SSID. Prior, I had two identical Nvidia Shield ( TV Box of sorts ) ; one connected to wifi 5 Ghz easily and every time; the other would occasionally connect to 5GHz, but then would not work right; but would connect to 2.4 Ghz good enough. Solution: Ended up moving this to a Ethernet Bridge. The Shields are essentially Android devices.

[@LironSegev]

not sure why - I have been using this for over a month now and everything connect to it including my entire studio, my NAS, my camera system, and my server. My guess is that most people simply plug in wires into any port because "it fits" (seen this time and time again) without realizing what each port actually does. I thought about making a setup video, but it really is a simple wizard and it does everything for you automatically and yes you can link it to other devices.
