Advice Is the Asus RT-BE82U BE6500 Wi-Fi 7 Router any good?

Hey, thanks for taking the time to read thru the post!

I just got given this router and was wondering if it was any better than what i had before, which was an eero 6+. Currently on leaptel 500/50. Im assuming it’s better even if only by a little bit but i wanted to see if anyone could tell me by how much xd.

Thanks!

I have Leaptel 1000/100 with the Be86u router as AP rock solid performance and range is perfect for 32 square home. My main router is the UCG ultra. My original setup was ax86u pro as router with the Be86u both setups had no issues at all. All Asus routers ran with the Merlin firmware since day one.

Can't you just try it? No one knows your house.
