Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The ASUS TUF Gaming BE9400 is number 7 in this guide. It is a tri-band Wi-Fi 7 router with six fixed antennas, a listed coverage range of 2,500 square feet and a price of £147.96, which puts it among the cheaper Wi-Fi 7 routers here.
The finding on this ficha is the gap between two numbers on the same listing. The main bullet and the maximum upstream data transfer rate both say 9400 Mbps, while the data transfer rate field on the same page says 5764 Mbps. The product name advertises quad 2.5G ports and the LAN port bandwidth is listed as 2500 Mbps, so no single port is listed above 2.5 Gbps — the 9400 figure is the bands added together, not what one device gets. Coverage is given as 2,500 square feet, in line with the other routers in this guide rather than the far larger figures claimed elsewhere in the ranking. Every figure on this page is taken from the Amazon listing and not from any testing of our own.
