The increasing number of connected personal devices and IoT devices has led to an overall increase in network density, pushing the limits of the current WiFi standard. The latest WiFi 6 (802.11ax) standard provides future-proof technologies, higher network performance, faster WiFi speeds, greater coverage, and improved battery life for connected devices, delivering a significantly better networking experience for users.

With a revolutionary combination of OFDMA and MU-MIMO technology, 802.11ax technology provides up to 4 times greater network capacity and efficiency in high-traffic environments. Previous generation WiFi 802.11ac can only handle one device at a time on each network channel, which is an inefficient use of available bandwidth. OFDMA support in the WiFi 6 (802.11ax) standard divides each channel into smaller sub-channels, allowing signals from multiple devices to be grouped and transmitted simultaneously, reducing latency for a smoother, more flexible WiFi experience.

In most cases, the RT-AX53U can provide smooth, reliable WiFi to every corner of your home. However, WiFi coverage can be affected by many factors - room layout, construction materials, even furnishings. ASUS's AiMesh is an innovative new router feature that fixes these problems: it creates a whole-home WiFi network using multiple ASUS routers. AiMesh is powerful, flexible, and you can use a mix of ASUS router models - protecting your investment! AiMesh offers you central control that saves time and seamless roaming capability. AiMesh is the WiFi you can rely on - for all your devices, always!

With the latest WiFi 6 (802.11ax) standard featuring OFDMA technology, the RT-AX53U provides increased WiFi signal range and better coverage by dividing each channel into smaller sub-channels. These sub-channels have a smaller bandwidth that allows them to travel up to 80% farther, resulting in better WiFi connection throughout your home.
