ASUS RT-AX56U WiFi 6 AC1800 Dual-Band Router

THE NEXT GENERATION

The ASUS RT-AX56U represents a change in connection standard, this Wi-Fi 6 dual-band router boasting connection speeds of up to 1800 Mbps,it also supports MU-MIMO and OFDMA technologies to efficiently allocate channels and communicate with multiple devices simultaneously. The modern era is filled with connected personal and IoT devices from computers, to light-switches, that has led to an overall increase in networking density that is pushing the current limits of the current Wi-Fi standard, but with the latest Wi-fi 6 (802.11ax) standard providing future-proof technologies, higher networking efficiency, faster wi-fi speeds, increased coverage and improved battery life for connected devices, you’d be crazy not to be getting a signifcantly better networking experience. The RT-AX56U also gives you piece of mind with lifetime free subscription to commerical-grade security (AiProtection) and allows to easily set and manage parental controls to keep your network and your family safe.

NEXT-GEN WIFI SPEED

RT-AX56U is a 2×2 dual-band Wi-Fi router that provides 80MHz bandwidth and 1024-QAM for dramatically faster wireless connections. With a total networking speed of about 1800Mbps — 574Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 1201Mbps on the 5GHz band — RT-AX56U is 1.5X faster than 802.11ac 2×2 dual-band routers.

BUILT FOR MULTI-DEVICE HOUSEHOLDS

With a revolutionary combination of OFDMA and MU-MIMO technology, 802.11ax technology provides up to 4X greater network capacity and efficiency in traffic-dense environments. Previous-generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi can only handle one device at a time on each network channel, which is an inefficient use of available bandwidth. OFDMA support in the 802.11ax Wi-Fi standard divides each channel into small sub-channels, allowing signals from multiple devices* to be bundled together and transmitted simultaneously, reducing latency for a smoother, more responsive Wi-Fi experience.

BETTER BATTERY LIFE

Target Wake Time (TWT) allows RT-AX56U to schedule designated intervals for devices to transmit data. This allows them to sleep when there is no need to wait for a router signal, reducing power consumption by up to 7X for significantly improved battery life*.

WIFI THAT GOES FARTHER

With the latest 802.11ax WiFi standard featuring OFDMA technology, RT-AX56U provides increased WiFi signal range and better coverage by dividing each channel into smaller sub-channels. These sub-channels have a smaller bandwidth that enables them to travel up to 80% farther1, resulting in a better WiFi connection throughout your home.

ESSENTIAL NETWORK PROTECTION

RT-AX56U has lifetime free AiProtection Pro, powered by Trend Micro™ with automatic, regularly updated security signatures to protect your devices and personal data from internet threats. This strong security offers advanced parental controls, including the ability to block specific websites and mobile app types.

THE WAY YOU WANT

In most cases, your RT-AX56U can deliver smooth, reliable Wi-Fi to every part of your home. But Wi-Fi coverage can be affected by many factors — room layout, construction materials, and even furnishings. ASUS AiMesh is an innovative new router feature that fixes these problems: it creates a whole-home Wi-Fi network using multiple ASUS routers. AiMesh is powerful, flexible and you can use a mix of ASUS router models — protecting your investment! AiMesh gives you time-saving central control, and seamless roaming capability. AiMesh is Wi-Fi you can rely on — for all your devices, all the time!
