Surprisingly Useful AI Article Enhancements
Asus has unveiled its 2025 portfolio of Wi-Fi 7 Extendable Routers, aimed at supporting the increasing demands of smart homes, multi-device environments and remote working. The new range includes models built for streaming, gaming, outdoor connectivity and travel, with AiMesh-based networking and multi-gigabit Ethernet options available across the board.
The lineup reflects Asus’ continued push into modular and scalable home networking, with features designed to simplify setup, enhance performance and improve network management.
Multi-Gig Ethernet and Wi-Fi 7
Asus is emphasising the importance of multi-gig Ethernet support in a landscape where Wi-Fi is handling light IoT traffic, but many high-bandwidth applications still require wired connections. Most models in the 2025 lineup feature 2.5G or 10G ports alongside Wi-Fi 7 support.
“Wi-Fi 7 offers up to 2.4 times the speed of previous standards and introduces new technologies like Multi-Link Operation for improved device management,” said an Asus Australia spokesperson. “It’s not just about speed, it’s about consistent performance across devices that are already Wi-Fi 7-ready.”
According to Asus, while Wi-Fi 6 remains common, many older routers are limited by 1G ports and cannot take full advantage of faster internet plans or modern hardware.
Mesh, Security And Smart Home Features
All Wi-Fi 7 routers in the lineup are compatible with Asus’ AiMesh system, allowing users to build scalable networks with seamless roaming. The Smart Home Master feature set lets users create separate SSIDs for IoT devices, kids’ devices and VPN-specific traffic.
The routers support triple-level security and offer options such as dual WAN or mobile broadband failover for added reliability.
“These routers are built to grow with the home. Whether it’s adding more cameras, lights, or consoles, the network can scale without adding complexity,” the company said.
Management is handled through the Asus Router App, giving users a single interface to configure and monitor the entire network, rather than switching between devices.
Devices Across Use Cases
The new portfolio spans multiple use cases, with a range of routers tailored to household needs:
- RT-BE92U: Designed for apartments up to 2,750 sq ft, offering tri-band Wi-Fi 7 speeds up to 9700Mbps, 6GHz support and 10G/2.5G ports.
- ZenWiFi BT8 / BD4: Mesh-enabled models for multi-storey or larger homes, covering up to 5,900 sq ft with tri-band Wi-Fi 7.
- TUF Gaming BE6500: Focused on gamers, it offers performance tuning and hardware cooling to maintain low latency during intensive use.
- ZenWiFi BD4 Outdoor: Built for outdoor smart home installations, with Wi-Fi 7 coverage up to 3600Mbps for cameras, lights or garden entertainment systems.
- RT-BE58 Go: A portable travel router designed for secure connections in remote or mobile environments.
- RT-BE82U / RT-BE58U: Sustainability-focused models using up to 30 per cent post-consumer recycled plastics.
- RT-BE88U: Targets content creators with high-bandwidth needs, offering long-range wired connectivity and an SFP+ port.
- ROG USB-BE92: A USB adapter for existing Asus Wi-Fi 6 or 6E laptops and desktops, enabling Wi-Fi 7 speeds up to 6500Mbps with plug-and-play installation.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/3oecFoNxxDY
Performance Comparison With Traditional Setups
Asus has also compared its Extendable Routers with traditional router-extender combinations. According to the company, AiMesh delivers a single seamless network, whereas extenders often require manual switching and can degrade performance.
Security is another differentiator, with unified protection across AiMesh networks compared to potential gaps in traditional setups. Advanced features such as VPN profiles, smart home segmentation and real-time monitoring are centralised in the Asus app.
Availability
The new range of Asus Wi-Fi 7 Extendable Routers will roll out across global markets during 2025. Consumers are encouraged to explore the full lineup and choose the model that matches their usage and home configuration.
