The ASUS TUF Gaming BE3600 offers excellent performance, especially with WiFi 7 clients, and features good heat management, but its lack of a 6GHz radio and additional 2.5GbE ports, coupled with its price, make it a product worth waiting for a price drop.

Pros
  • • Effective heat management
  • • Fairly compact design
  • • Good performance with WiFi 7 and WiFi 6 clients
  • • Includes 4K-QAM modulation
  • • Supports MLO technology
Cons
  • • LAN ports are only Gigabit
  • • LED lights are hidden
  • • No 6GHz radio support
  • • Only one 2.5GbE port (for WAN)
  • • Price is considered high for its features

The Tech Brothers express skepticism about the Xiaomi BE3600's claim to be a true Wi-Fi 7 router given its specifications, despite it being a very affordable option in early 2024. They compare it to a Wi-Fi 6 router and evaluate its coverage and speed.

Pros
  • • Can be controlled from smartphone
  • • Capable of handling 500 Mbps Virtual Desktop with low latency (stable 5-7 ms)
  • • Cheapest Wi-Fi 7 router (at the beginning of 2024)
