WiFi 7 - 2X Higher Capacity
WiFi 7 introduces all-new ultrawide 320 MHz channels; doubling data transmission capacity. You can think of networking as a virtual freeway and the doubled bandwidth as a doubling of the number of lanes. Now larger vehicles are allowed to get on the freeway and can pack more data than ever before.
With the introduction of 4K-QAM; WiFi 7 can improve data transmission rates versus WiFi 6/6E by up to 20%; because a higher QAM can pack signals more densely. Continuing with the freeway analogy; now higher QAM permits more merchandise to be loaded into every vehicle. In other words; you can now upload and download more data in the same time frame as before.
Future-proof Your Connected Homes
The tri-band RT-BE96U offers 6 GHz; 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz WiFi networking; with speeds of up to 19Gbps. This solution ensures comprehensive WiFi compatibility for all your devices; from cutting-edge mobile devices to legacy smart home products with long lifespans. With ASUS AiMesh technology; it's easy to combine RT-BE96U with multiple ASUS extendable routers to create a seamless mesh network with rich; advanced features.
Reliable WiFi with Multi-Link
Before WiFi 7; transmissions were limited to one band; such as 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. Multi-Link Operation (MLO) allows a device to simultaneously connect on multiple bands; enabling faster speeds by aggregating bandwidth; with more reliable WiFi connections on multiple concurrently used bands. Connecting to multiple bands in this manner also enables seamless switching - a process that automatically allocates data to the most suitable band; to reduce latency.
Flexible Network Port Configuration
The RT-BE96U's dual 10 Gbps ports make it a great choice for servers or NAS devices. These are more convenient than simply combining multiple gigabit Ethernet ports; and they help increase your available bandwidth to avoid data bottlenecks throughout your whole network. Users are also empowered to leverage multiple high-speed internet service providers.
