Overview
Not a mesh kit on its own, this ASUS router is a single dual-band unit on the newer WiFi standard, with wide channels for faster links to compatible devices. It can later join other AiMesh routers to cover a larger home.
Four wired LAN ports, a USB port, Adaptive QoS and Trend Micro security make it a well-rounded home router. Every wired port is gigabit, so multi-gig internet plans will be capped.
Who it's for
Suited to houses within the listed range where consoles, PCs and TVs mix wired and wireless links. Fiber users with plans above gigabit need multi-gig ports.
Pros and cons
- Four wired LAN ports
- USB port on the back
- AiMesh expansion later
- Adaptive QoS prioritizes traffic
- Gigabit ports only
- WPA3 not named in protocols
- Dual band only, no third radio
Performance notes
Wide channels and denser data encoding raise peak speed near the router, but the listing warns that walls, traffic and building materials lower real throughput. OFDMA and MU-MIMO let it serve several devices at once, which helps busy homes more than single fast downloads.
