A refurbished Asus RT-BE92U tri-band WiFi 7 router is listed for $166.99, down from $249.99, according to a Mashable Deals offer tied to StackSocial pricing.
The deal puts the discount at $83 on a Grade A refurbished model, which the listing says should arrive in near-mint condition with little to no visible cosmetic wear. StackSocial notes that prices are subject to change.
The router is pitched for homes where streaming, online gaming, video calls and downloads are all fighting for room on the same network. According to the listing, the RT-BE92U supports WiFi 7 speeds of up to 9.7Gbps.
What the router includes
The Asus model includes WiFi 7 features such as Multi-Link Operation and 320MHz channels, which the listing says are meant to cut congestion and improve performance when several devices are using bandwidth at once.
On the wired side, the router has one 10G WAN/LAN port and four 2.5G Ethernet ports. The listing points to those ports as useful for gaming PCs, network-attached storage and other devices that benefit from faster wired connections.
The hardware is powered by a 2.0GHz quad-core processor, according to the deal page. Adaptive QoS is also included, giving users a way to prioritize traffic during bandwidth-heavy tasks.
Built for bigger homes and older gadgets
Asus AiMesh support is part of the package, allowing the router to be paired with compatible Asus routers to create a wider whole-home network if more coverage is needed.
The listing also says the RT-BE92U remains compatible with older wireless standards, including WiFi 6E, WiFi 6, WiFi 5 and earlier versions. That matters for households with a mix of newer laptops, phones, consoles and older connected devices.
Security and controls
The router includes AiProtection Pro, powered by Trend Micro, which the listing says helps protect connected devices from malicious websites and network threats.
VPN support is included as well, with WireGuard, OpenVPN, IPSec and other protocols named in the offer. Parental controls are also available for households that want to manage screen time or filter content.
The sale price listed for the refurbished Asus RT-BE92U is $166.99, compared with the regular $249.99 price cited in the Mashable Deals listing. As with most limited online deals, the final price may change.
