Get Your Home Ready for WiFi 6 (802.11ax)
The growing number of connected personal and IoT devices has led to an overall increase in network density that is pushing the limits of the current WiFi standard. The latest WiFi 6 (802.11ax) standard provides future-proof technologies, higher network efficiency, faster WiFi speeds, greater coverage and improved battery life for connected devices, providing a significantly better networking experience for users.
Next-Gen WiFi Speed
RT-AX53U is a 2x2 dual-band WiFi router that provides 80MHz bandwidth and 1024-QAM for dramatically faster wireless connections — 1.5X faster than 802.11ac 2x2 dual-band routers.
Network Efficiency — Built for Multi-device Households
With a revolutionary combination of OFDMA and MU-MIMO technology, 802.11ax technology provides up to 4X greater network capacity and efficiency in traffic-dense environments, allowing signals from multiple devices to be bundled together and transmitted simultaneously for a smoother, more responsive WiFi experience.
Power Saving — Better Battery Life for Your Devices
Target Wake Time (TWT) allows RT-AX53U to schedule designated intervals for devices to transmit data, allowing them to sleep when there is no need to wait for a router signal — reducing power consumption by up to 7X for significantly improved battery life.
Better Coverage — WiFi that Goes Farther
With OFDMA technology, RT-AX53U provides increased WiFi signal range and better coverage by dividing each channel into smaller sub-channels that travel up to 80% farther, resulting in better WiFi connection throughout your home.
Protection for Your Home Network
RT-AX53U incorporates ASUS AiProtection, a commercial-grade network security system powered by Trend Micro™ Smart Home Network. AiProtection blocks common internet-based attacks before they reach the network, and instantly blocks any infected device detected on the network to prevent it from sending personal information to malicious servers.
