Overview
Not a tri band flagship, this ASUS router is a dual band unit on the newest WiFi generation that brings multi link operation and wider channels to a mid sized home. A multi gig port, four gigabit ports and a USB port for mobile tethering cover wired and backup internet.
Multi link operation and a multi gig WAN port give a newer, steadier connection for phones and laptops that support the latest standard. Without a third band, heavy multi device homes get less headroom than tri band models offer.
Who it's for
Households with recent phones and laptops, and small offices wanting VPN, parental controls and a mobile backup line. Large or multi storey homes should plan for an ASUS mesh node alongside it.
Pros and cons
- Multi link operation for stable connections
- Multi gig port plus four gigabit ports
- USB tethering for mobile backup
- AiProtection Pro by Trend Micro
- Dual band only, no third band
- Coverage limited to a mid sized home
- Internal antennas cannot be aimed
Performance notes
Wider channels and denser modulation raise peak throughput only for client devices that support the newest standard, while older devices connect at their own limits. Multi link operation lets a device use both bands at once, smoothing out interference on one of them. Real speed still falls with distance and walls.
