ASUS RT-AX88U Pro (AX6000 WiFi 6)
A dual-band WiFi 6 (AX6000) router pairing dual 2.5G ports for WAN aggregation with four Gigabit LAN, AiMesh, and 4804/1148 Mbps bands — an enthusiast-tier pick for power users who want multi-gig wired headroom on WiFi 6. The clear limitation is the band layout: it's dual-band with no 6 GHz, so anyone targeting WiFi 7 or 6 GHz throughput should look elsewhere.
