RT-AX86S Router Description
With dual-band Wi-Fi 6 capability and innovative technologies, the ASUS RT-AX86S router offers superfast Wi-Fi rates of up to 5700 Mbps. You can take advantage of high-speed networking for both wired and Wi-Fi connections to its maximum capacity as it supports up to a 2 Gbps internet connection. You can also quickly expand your wireless coverage by creating a mesh network using additional ASUS AiMesh-compatible devices such as satellites. This offers the advantage of only requiring one network ID and password, which will provide seamless, dependable connections as you go from room to room, in addition to eliminating dead spots across your house.
Also, there is a dedicated Gigabit Ethernet connector that gives your computer or console system quick and reliable connections by automatically prioritising the data for any connected device. Link aggregation allows up to two of the four Ethernet ports to be combined to utilise multi-Gig Internet connections. The Wi-Fi client must be Wi-Fi 6 compatible in order to take advantage of Wi-Fi 6 functionalities.
With ASUS's RT-AX86S AX5700 Wireless Dual-Band Gigabit Gaming Router, you can take advantage of fast, low-latency connections while playing action-packed online games. This RT-AX86S, which is designed for hobbyists and professional gamers, has three strong external antennas that work in conjunction with one inside antenna. To prioritise particular wireless devices so that they do not compete for bandwidth, you can modify wireless connections using the Gear Accelerator control panel.
Priority Gaming/Mobile Gaming Boost
To reduce lag and latency, turn on Mobile Gaming Mode using the ASUS Router app. By utilising the ASUS Router app to give certain Wi-Fi devices priority traffic, you can ensure lag-free gaming sessions. Traffic on computers and gaming consoles having wired Ethernet connections to the designated gaming port will automatically be given priority.
High-grade Security/Easy Setup & Management
This router offers extensive parental controls, a free lifetime subscription to AiProtection Pro, and WPA3 wireless encryption capabilities. For rapid router configuration, use the ASUS Router app. Once configured, the app enables real-time network traffic monitoring, diagnostics, and the creation of a guest Wi-Fi login.
Fast Wi-Fi/Dynamic Frequency Selection
Up to 5665 Mb/s is delivered over the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands by this 802.3ax Wi-Fi 6 router; and 4x4 MU-MIMO and OFDMA technologies ensure dependable connections to compatible devices. To provide you with even more bandwidth for gaming, Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) unlocks up to 15 of the least congested channels on the 5 GHz band.
Wired Connections
The RT-AX86S has four Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports and one Gigabit WAN port for connecting connected devices such as smart Televisions, gaming consoles, and laptops. Link aggregation allows for the 2 Gb/s throughput of up to two LAN ports when used with suitable devices.
