Can the RT-BE88U mesh with other ASUS routers?

Yes — AiMesh support pairs it with compatible ASUS nodes for whole-home coverage while keeping the BE88U as the wired backbone, the standard ASUS expansion path. Compare AiMesh-capable nodes alongside the BE88U across Shopfox listings. Check the current listing details and price history on Shopfox before you buy.

How much does the Asus RT-BE88U cost?

The RT-BE88U currently sells for $249.99-$332.49 across Shopfox listings — competitive for Wi-Fi 7 with this port set, undercutting tri-band flagships. Router pricing holds steadier than most tech. Check the RT-BE88U price history on Shopfox before buying. See current offers and price history on Shopfox before committing.

Why choose the RT-BE88U over tri-band routers?

The ports — nine LAN ports with dual 10G and quad 2.5G replace a separate multi-gig switch, the wired-density answer for labs and racks where tri-band's 6GHz matters less. Wi-Fi 7 dual-band still covers most homes fully. Compare RT-BE88U and BE96U listings on Shopfox.
