Our Verdict
ASUS ROG Rapture GT6
TP-Link Archer BE550
The TP-Link Archer BE550 is faster than the ASUS ROG Rapture GT6. It's a Wi-Fi 7 standalone router, while the ASUS is a Wi-Fi 6 mesh router. However, since the TP-Link is compatible with EasyMesh, you can also add compatible access points for better range. The ASUS has an aggressive gamer design with RGB lighting, while the TP-Link has a more conventional design.
