Our Verdict

ASUS ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro

TP-Link Archer BE900

The TP-Link Archer BE900 and the ASUS ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro are quad-band Wi-Fi 7 routers. While the TP-Link has two 5GHz bands in addition to a 2.4GHz and a 6GHz band, the ASUS has two 6GHz bands. Both routers deliver similar incredible top speeds at close range, but the TP-Link has a longer range overall. The ASUS is also significantly larger and harder to fit into your home.
