Overview
Gamers with a wired desk full of consoles and PCs get eight multi-gig ports and tri-band wireless with a dedicated wide high band. ROG Gaming Network sets up game acceleration through its own SSID, and AiMesh can add more ASUS nodes later.
Seven multi-gig LAN ports remove the need for a separate switch in a gaming room, and the highest band carries fast, low latency traffic. Coverage figures differ across the listing, and the box list names a different model number.
Who it's for
Households with many wired devices and competitive gamers will use the ports and acceleration. Light users who only browse and stream can save desk space with a simpler router.
Pros and cons
- Eight multi-gig ports
- Wide 6 GHz channels
- Game acceleration setup
- Commercial grade security
- Coverage figures differ
- Box list names another model
- Advanced features take time to learn
Performance notes
Wide channels on the highest band carry the highest speeds to nearby newer devices, while MLO combines bands to steady the link. Wired multi-gig ports avoid wireless contention for consoles and PCs. Range drops through walls, so mesh nodes extend large homes.
