ASUS Unveils RT-BE88U WiFi 7 Dual-Band Router

[Jbennett360]

By the way, the UniFi equipment Sam is talking about at the end of the video is $403, Ubiquiti US store prices.

- Cloud Gateway Max, $199
- U7 Pro, $189
- PoE+ Adapter 30W, $15

It adds 6GHz band support, UCG-Max has a built-in 4-port 2.5GbE switch. Extra switch may not be needed. Extra AP may be needed for larger spaces. Single AP may have less coverage compared to home router, two APs will have better coverage guaranteed. Depends on the needs and environment.

Some limitations of the above relevant to home use:
- UniFi networks don't support WPS. Folks with WPS-only setup IoT devices have to use a workaround to connect their devices to the network.

It's hard trying to get everything to be in stock in the UK store!

Max - £180
U7 Pro - £162 x2
POE Adapter - £13.20 x 2

£530

UK pricing is quite high for some reason.

Availability of UCG-Max is a problem here too. The most popular "no storage" option shows as available for few hours and disappears. People set availability notifications and place orders the moment it shows up. If you really want one - do the same. It's like purchasing concert tickets.
