ASUS announced the RT-AX88U Pro dual-band router that supports Wi-Fi 6. This new router promises to provide high-speed communication not only in wireless but also in wired environments.... ASUS offers pro model of the RT-AX88U Wi-Fi 6 router with two 2.5 Gigabit ports
Yeah but 10Gbit is still expensive to include. For home use 2.5 is "fine" but I think for $399 I'd expect more than 2 ports.
I'm surprised they lower the port count aswell the original AX88U which I own has 8 lan ports. And I agree I would like to see alteast 4 2.5Gbps ports. 1 Wan Then 1 for a PC another one for a NAS and that leaves one port left.
having recently looked in to 2.5Gb routers or switches....seems like 2.5 isn't quite as mainstream as the products supporting it might suggest most routers have 2 2.5gb (if they support it which is a big if it seems) and with switches you have 4x2.5 but not that consumer friendy pricing but yea i would probably have preferred a 1gb/s wan port and 2 2.5gb/s lan ports that way you could atleast get 2 devices in your network connected at 2.5 without needing to use link agregation on 1 of them....but i'd presonally still wait untill 4x 2.5 gb lan is a option at reasonable prices. kinda odd thing is asus already has a model on sale that has what this model has for when i checked about 220 euro the AX6000 which doesn't look quite as sleek but... yea
