ASUS Announces A Complete Lineup Of 802.11ax Routers – June 06, 2018 – Fremont, California (Techreleased) – The number of wireless devices in our lives is multiplying at a torrid pace. We are bringing more and more connected devices into our homes, including high-bandwidth devices like smartphones, tablets, PCs, game consoles, 4K TVs, digital assistants and an expanding array of IoT gear.

That’s a lot to manage under one roof, especially during prime time, when concurrent HD streaming, surfing, and gaming sessions all want their share of available bandwidth. With higher throughput per channel and the ability to pack data from multiple clients more efficiently into the available spectrum, next-generation 802.11ax WiFi is designed for these busy networks.

ASUS is featuring our lineup of 802.11ax routers during Computex 2018 in Taipei, Taiwan at the ASUS booth, #M410 in Nangang Hall, from June 5-9. For a full rundown of our new 802.11ax product family and 802.11ax technology, please visit us at ASUS EdgeUp. Rule your game with the ROG Rapture GT-AX11000

The Republic of Gamers is renowned for cutting-edge hardware, so it’s fitting that the new ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 is the world’s first tri-band 802.11ax router. It’s built for the most demanding networks, with peak aggregate throughput of nearly 11,000Mbps: up to 1148Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and up to 4804Mbps on each of its dual 5GHz bands. The extra 5GHz band can be reserved for gaming devices to prevent other wireless activity from interfering with your primary machines.

Meet the future with the ASUS RT-AX88U

The RT-AX88U router has much of the same underlying hardware as the Rapture applied to a more conventional dual-channel design. Both bands support 802.11ax devices, with up to 1148Mbps on 2.4GHz and up to 4804Mbps on 5GHz, for peak total bandwidth around 6000Mbps.

Like its tri-band ROG counterpart, the RT-AX88U is controlled by a potent quad-core processor. It has dual USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports for shared peripherals like storage or a printer, and you can even add a 4G dongle for a backup WAN connection in case your normal internet service is disrupted.

Shared features across ASUS wireless products

ASUS has a long history of producing highly regarded routers, as evidenced by our seventh consecutive year earning the PCMag Readers’ Choice Award for overall customer satisfaction in the category. All of our 802.11ax models share core features that make your home network easy to configure, secure, and expand.

Home networks often need to grow, whether it’s expanding capacity or extending coverage. AiMesh makes both easy by allowing compatible ASUS routers to work together in a mesh network that spreads WiFi over a larger area.
