Asus continues to expand its network portfolio and presents the TUF Gaming BE9400, a new router that is not only aimed at gamers, but is also designed for demanding multimedia and smart home scenarios. The router is based on the latest WiFi 7 Wi-Fi standard and combines high data rates with practical additional functions such as mesh support, AI-supported security options and flexible connectivity.
- WiFi 7 with tri-band support (2.4 / 5 / 6 GHz)
- Up to 9.3 GBit/s combined data rate
- Six external antennas for stable connection and long range
- 4x 2.5 Gbit/s LAN, USB 3.0 port and mesh support
High performance with WiFi 7 and tri-band
The TUF Gaming BE9400 is a WiFi 7 router that works with all three common frequency ranges: 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz. This enables transmission rates of up to 688 MBit/s in the 2.4 GHz band, 2,882 MBit/s over 5 GHz and 5,764 MBit/s in the 6 GHz band – a total of almost 9.3 GBit/s. In addition to MU-MIMO, the device supports beamforming and OFDMA, which not only benefits gaming PCs and consoles, but also a large number of devices used in parallel with a stable connection.
Visually, Asus remains true to its robust TUF design language. Technically, six external antennas ensure that signals are reliably distributed across several rooms. Of particular interest is the option of integrating the router into a mesh network to cover large living areas or houses without dead spots.
Flexible connections and extended security functions
In addition to its strong wireless performance, the BE9400 also scores points for its physical interfaces. With four LAN ports, each supporting 2.5 GBit/s, the router is also aimed at users who require maximum wired speed – for example for streaming setups, cloud backups or e-sports applications. A USB 3.0 port also enables the integration of external storage devices or the use of USB tethering so that a mobile modem can be connected directly.
Asus also advertises a comprehensive package of security features that use AI algorithms to detect and block threats in the network at an early stage. In addition, separate networks can be set up for IoT devices to isolate smart lights, cameras or sensors with an insecure update status from the main network. This feature should provide additional protection, especially in households with many networked devices.
Conclusion
With the TUF Gaming BE9400, Asus is launching a router on the market that appeals to gamers and power users alike. Thanks to WiFi 7, tri-band operation, strong antennas and versatile connection options, it is suitable for both gaming setups and smart households. The router combines performance with security and shows that modern network devices have long been more than just signal distributors. Asus has not yet announced information on price and availability, but it is expected to be released in the coming weeks. However, the official website has already been launched.
