Get Your Home Ready for Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)Next-Gen Wi-Fi SpeedRT-AX92U with 4x4 tri-band Wi-Fi that provides 160MHz bandwidth and 1024-QAM for dramatically faster wireless connections. With a total networking speed of about 4804Mbps on the 5GHz-2 band, RT-AX92U is 2.7X faster than normal 802.11ac 4x4 routers. You can enjoy the technology from the future now and still connect it with the latest 802.11ax devices when they come out in the near future.Higher Wi-Fi Capacity for Multiple Devices SimultaneouslyWith a revolutionary combination of OFDMA and MU-MIMO technology, 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) technology provides up to 4X greater network capacity and efficiency in traffic-dense environments. Previous-generation 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) 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.Longer Battery Life for Your DevicesTarget Wake Time (TWT) allows RT-AX92U 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.Extremely Stable & Ultrafast Connection throughout Your HomeSeamless Connection Working with Your Current ASUS RouterASUS proprietary technology - AiMesh allows RT-AX92U to work with any compatible routers to turn your home Wi-Fi into the latest mesh Wi-Fi system. All the AiMesh routers talk to each other and keep an eye on the signal strength to your device, and switch it seamlessly to another source if necessary. All you have to do is enjoy it!Find the Best Place for All DevicesIn addition to 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) networking, RT-AX92U offers 802.11n (Wi-Fi 4) and 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) connections to provide flexible Wi-Fi that supports everything from legacy to future cutting-edge devices.It's also designed to work best with the latest generation of mobile devices featuring 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) coming out in the near future. The 802.11ax Wi-Fi used by RT-AX92U can be accessed by the new device so you can make the most use of your latest gadget's Wi-Fi ability.Flexible Choice between Wireless and Wired Backhaul ConnectionEthernet backhaul function allows you to use network cables to connect RT-AX92U and other AiMesh routers together. If you have on-wall Ethernet ports in different rooms of your home, this feature lets your routers communicate with one another over a wired connection, making your Wi-Fi system even more stable and reliable. It also reserves all the three Wi-Fi bands for your wireless devices, giving them even more network capacity.AiProtection Pro - Safer Internet for Your Family and DevicesAll your family members, young or old, are exposed to the dangers of internet every single moment they're online.

I've had four of the RT-AX92U routers for several years. Extended my WIFI to my barn. Great performers and no problems.

Great Little Router

bought this a few months ago, had an issue with one of the packs, Asus returns was great and replaced it promptly. great customer service with their emails and communication

amazing

WAN port in primary router died after 9 months. Leading up to it, wifi and LAN were failing almost daily for several weeks.

Expensive and unstable.

So easy to use and has great features. AI Mesh is a bonus and is very easy to setup. Very happy with this addition to my home network.

Great router, easy setup

I have AX11000 and live in two floor house, I need to extend my Wifi Signal.
This two small routers are awesome covered my 2800 feet house with no problem

Best Router I ever had

I had these routers for about a month. Really great routers. I highly recommend to anyone who needs Wifi Coverage.

Excellent Mesh Routers

I?ve been in the IT field for over 20 years. I?ve setup more routers than I can count. I?ve been a ASUS product user for many years now and have had little problems. That all said, he?s what you need to know about this router.

1) First thing you must do is update the firmware. It?s more important than you think.

2) Once fully updated, manually set it up. It?s not hard, so don?t feel intimidated. Setup is very easy and the only difficult decision can be what name to make the SSID and whether you want it broadcasted or not.

3) Next, power up everything in this sequence. First, reboot your modem. And wait for it to come online. Second, power up the router. The router needs the public IP to get online. This address is displayed on the dashboard page of the router as the WAN address. It?ll also tell you if you?re online.

4) Reboot any device connecting to the router. Not every device will need a reboot, but it?s good practice.

Some caveats:
- depending on the vendor, smart plugs may need unplugged then plugged in again. Assuming your SSID remained the same from the previous router, the plugs should come online. If the SSID has changed, you?ll need to rerun the plug specific setup again.

- I have 3 Alexas and 2 of them connected to the router without any problems. But one needed to be reset.

Last thing you should do is backup your router configuration and save them somewhere safe.

Review for RT-AX92U

I was having issues with wifi in my 2 story "L" shaped house. I decided to upgrade when my family was having issues with their wireless devices. I chose this one for the brand, wifi 6, mesh network and the non-subscription based security software. It was easy to setup and has been working great. The settings for XBox gaming were super simple. I tried it in a couple of places to tune the network for best coverage.

Feature packed wifi 6 mesh router

I should?ve bought the 2 pack but the mesh networking helps spread the load of all my wireless devices at home. My issues disappeared after switching from my one router from my service provider.

I bought one at first then a second one!

It has been about a month since purchase and so far pretty decent. I had a problem with the 2.5 Ghz network but after chatting with support who was very responsive and knowledgeable I was able to change a config setting and now it has been running flawlessly

very fast and easy setup

App lets you quickly and easily enable game mode or adjust quality of service. Update firmware, hide networks and more all from the app

Love the app

overall the connections are great, the mesh network is perfectly spread throughout the house. the app and the webpage are easy to use and adjust the features to your liking. the main issue which is why I gave it a 4 stars is the fact that the network cut off sometimes. for instance sometimes coming home, normally my phone will connect to the wifi no issues well with the RT-AX92U is that I have to turn of my wifi and back on. it also happens with my fire sticks. i would have to completely unplug the firestick from power and plug back in to get it reconnected.

Great features

These routers have fixed a multitude of internet issues. With little effort our House is truly living up to being smart. Thanks for a great product at the best price anywhere

Amazing results

It is extremely easy to install and configure using the embedded web page and the app (I used the Android version).
As I had to keep my main router, my setup was Access Point mode, with the main router near the modem, and the remote router creating the mesh at the other extreme of my apartment.
Having the local switch allowed me to connect my smart TVs using cables, while connecting everything else wirelessly.
It improved my network even for my old WiFi devices not supporting WiFi 6. It was much faster when connecting my new WiFi 6 notebook.

The perfect upgrade for old home networks!

Great WiFi

Great Modem with a LOT of customizable options out of the box! I do wish the store representative would have suggested the duo option for this router of course!!

Lots of Options

I've had this unit for about 9 months now. It provides me with wifi speeds of 1Gb+ to my phone. It handles my in home Plex streaming without a hiccup. I'm not using 4K video just yet, but with this unit, I'm ready for it. What really helps is that I've setup VPN from the unit to my ISP so I don't have to deal with VPN management issues for the devices I have connected to it. That took a little doing, but it wasn't hard for me since I'm a network engineer. A basic setup was easy. However, making more security hardened choices may be frustrating to most people. The menus are easy, yet comprehensive in capability while offering a great many welcome additional features.

For example, my Drobo 5c wasn't working with my Win10 machine. Neither was the Drobo Dashboard program that manages the unit. It just crashes when I try to run it. I had a lot of data on it and didn't want to scrap the unit for another home NAS solution. I found that I could actually connect my Drobo directly to this unit and activate the Samba-based file sharing feature. Viola! I have access to my data again! Granted, the data throughput isn't nearly as fast as a USB3 connection, but it saved me $400-500 and all the hassle of rebuilding the video library I already have. Much of which is personal video that I cannot replace. I can live with this solution for the time being. Thanks to Asus for adding this feature!

Best home router/switch that I've had to date!

Great router, speed are fantastic, range super...

Love the WiFi 6 capability and the MESH adaptability.
The software & App for access, maintenance and control are superb.
