Pick this up and save $40.

Two 10G ports on a consumer router used to mean flagship money. The ASUS RT-BE88U carries a 10G SFP+ port and a 10G WAN/LAN port, and it just slipped to $309.99 at Amazon.

ASUS RT-BE88U WiFi 7 Router x2 10G drops to $309.99 - save $40. That is $26.92 under its 30-day average and $15.79 below its 180-day average, so this is the cheapest the router has been in months.

Get This Deal

For just $309.99, down from its list price of $349.99, you get a router that has spent most of the past six months above $325. The 90-day average sits at $334.24, which puts today's price roughly $24 below where it has been trending. The all-time low of $279.99 came during a deeper promotional window, and short of that. This is about as good as the RT-BE88U gets.

What You're Getting

Who This Is For

Best for anyone building out a wired backbone with multi-gig internet or a NAS that needs real throughput. The dual 10G ports let you feed a switch and a workstation without dropping to a 2.5G bottleneck.

If your ISP plan tops out at 1G and you have no local high-speed storage, the extra ports go unused and a cheaper WiFi 7 router will do the same job.

The Caveat

This is a dual-band router, so 6GHz is off the table. Buyers who want a dedicated 6GHz lane for congested apartments should look elsewhere.

Final Verdict

The 10G ports are the whole reason to buy, and at $309.99 they cost less than they have in months. If you are wiring a home lab or a multi-gig setup, this is the price to move on.

If dual-band coverage is enough for your space, you can wait for the next dip toward $280.
