Dual-band WiFi 7 performance

The ASUS RT-BE3600 is a dual-band wireless router built on the Wi-Fi 7 standard, delivering combined wireless data rates up to 3.6 Gbps. It operates on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies with four external antennas and supports 4096-QAM modulation and 160 MHz channels. The unit includes a 2.5G WAN/LAN port, three Gigabit LAN ports and a USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface for local storage or peripherals.

Households wanting modern WiFi without multi-gig LAN

This router suits homes and home offices that want Wi-Fi 7 speeds for streaming, gaming and smart devices while using existing Gigabit wired gear. Buyers who need more than one 2.5G port or more than three Gigabit LAN ports should look at a different model. The single USB 3.2 Gen 1 port also limits simultaneous USB device connections.

BE3600 total throughput

The headline specification is the BE3600 rating, which represents the maximum combined wireless throughput of 3600 Mbps across both bands. This figure determines whether the router can handle the peak bandwidth your devices and internet plan require.

Questions about this item

How much clearance do the four external antennas need for positioning?

The four external antennas extend from the router body and can be angled; allow a few centimetres on each side so they can be tilted vertically or horizontally without hitting walls or shelves.

What is the correct order for connecting the 2.5 G WAN port and the three 1 G LAN ports during first-time setup?

Connect the ISP cable to the single 2.5 G WAN port first, power on the router, then plug wired devices into the three 1 G LAN ports; skipping the WAN-first step leaves the router without an internet path.

Will the AC power adapter need replacement if the DC output drifts below 12 V 2 A?

The included AC adapter supplies 12 V at up to 2 A; if output voltage or current falls below those ratings the router may become unstable and the adapter should be replaced.
