EXTENDABLE WiFi FOR NEW ERA | 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.

20% Higher Transmission Rate

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.

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 SSIDs in this manner also enables "seamless switching" where your data will automatically be allocated 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.

Cool and Stable

The RT-BE96U is engineered to deliver maximum WiFi performance. The increased clearance under the router is designed to improve airflow through the vents, complementing the quadruple heatsink for even greater reliability.
