Who it’s for / pitfalls
Good for
- Gamers on gigabit-plus broadband who want Wi-Fi 7
- People with a NAS or several 2.5GbE devices who plan to wire them
Not for
- People who need a 6GHz band, since this router lists only 2.4GHz and 5GHz
- Users who only browse or stream and won't use game acceleration or 2.5G ports
Known pitfalls
- ASUS's speeds are lab theoretical figures, so real results depend on environment and devices
- A USB drive or 4G/5G modem that draws more than standard USB power needs its own power supply
- WPA/WPA2 Enterprise works only in single-router mode, not in AiMesh mode
