ELECOM has introduced the WRC-BE64QS-B, a new Wi-Fi 7 wireless router featuring built-in antennas, dual-band connectivity, and support for EasyMesh networking. The router adopts a box-shaped design that keeps its antennas inside the chassis, offering a different approach from conventional routers with externally visible antennas.
The ELECOM WRC-BE64QS-B supports Wi-Fi 7 on the 5GHz band, with wireless speeds reaching up to 5,764Mbps. Meanwhile, the 2.4GHz band uses Wi-Fi 6 technology and delivers speeds of up to 574Mbps. This configuration provides wireless connectivity for newer Wi-Fi 7 devices as well as products using older wireless standards.
On the wired networking side, the router includes one 2.5GbE RJ-45 WAN port and three 1GbE RJ-45 LAN ports. The multi-gigabit WAN connection allows users with compatible internet services to benefit from higher wired speeds, while the LAN ports provide connections for desktop PCs, gaming consoles, smart TVs, and other network equipment.
ELECOM has also included several operating modes, allowing the WRC-BE64QS-B to function as a router, access point, or repeater. EasyMesh support enables users to expand their wireless network using compatible devices, while an outdoor mode is included as another networking option.
Security and network management features include secure Wi-Fi, guest Wi-Fi, internet usage time limits for minors, and automatic firmware updates. These additions give users more control over connected devices, guest access, and network security.
The ELECOM WRC-BE64QS-B is priced at 21,800 yen, including tax, which converts to approximately $137 USD. The router has been announced for the Japanese market, although international availability has not yet been confirmed.
