ASUS - BE7200 Dual-band WiFi 7 Router - Black
Model: RT-BE7200SKU: 6578388Top comment"Best bang for the buck Wifi 7 router!...but makes up for this in having two 10gb+ ports + FOUR 2.5gb ports and lastly another FOUR 1gb ports. This router also will do MLO so Wifi 7 will take advantage of both the 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands to hit 1.9gb+ speeds. ...I also changed a Windows 10 Device Manager setting to 'Prefer 5GHz.' I achieved the download metrics I hoped to find (limited by my 500Mbps Spectrum internet service): 485Mbps download at up to 50ft on the 5GHz band after Router location, antenna orientation, and setting Windows Device Manager to 'Prefer 5GHz.'
