Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?BOB W : I did not choose the router in the picture above - which shows an Asus RT-AX88 and I selected the RT-AX89X. If I am sent the 88 instead - I will be very disappointed.

Octopod Router Give GigE service.

Adorama took the order and direct shipped from ASUS and landed in my lap in a week. The router came up - was integrated into my 3 story house as the central command for a 3 Router AIMesh including the RT-AX89X, the RT-AX86U and RT-AX58U. I now get GigE Internet throughout the wired connections around the house and 750Mbps on wireless to my WiFi6 clients. Nice upgrade. I mounted the router on a ring to provide good airflow for the system to prevent overheating. Great performance so far.

The New Era of Home Wi-Fi
The growing number of connected personal and IoT devices has led to an overall increase in network density that is pushing the limits of the current Wi-Fi standard. The latest Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) provides future-proof technologies, higher network efficiency, faster Wi-Fi speeds, greater coverage and improved battery life for connected devices, providing a significantly better networking experience for users.

Warp-speed Wi-Fi
RT-AX89X is a 4x4 dual-band Wi-Fi router that provides 160MHz bandwidth and 1024-QAM for dramatically faster wireless connections. With a total networking speed of about 6000Mbps - 1148Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 4804Mbps on the 5GHz band - RT-AX89X is 2.3X faster than 802.11ac 4x4 dual-band routers.

Built for Multi-device Households
With a revolutionary combination of OFDMA and MU-MIMO technology, Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) provides up to 4X greater network capacity and efficiency in traffic-dense environments. Previous-generation Wi-Fi 5 (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 Wi-Fi 6 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 for Your Devices
Target Wake Time (TWT) allows RT-AX89X 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.

Wi-Fi that Goes Farther
With the latest Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) featuring OFDMA technology, RT-AX89X provides increased Wi-Fi 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 percent farther, resulting in a better Wi-Fi connection throughout your home

Give your Online Gaming a Double Boost
RT-AX89X's Adaptive QoS prioritizes game packets for smoother online play. It also has built-in wtfast to seek out and secure the shortest possible path between your gaming device and the game server, minimizing game ping and lag.

Commercial-grade Security for your Home Network
RT-AX89X 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.

Wired or Wireless. The Choice is Yours.

More LAN Ports for More Convenience
Eight Gigabit LAN ports make RT-AX89X the ideal solution if you have multiple wired devices, such as NAS systems, PCs and switches. And, if you ever want to host a LAN party at home, RT-AX89X makes it possible.

Wireless that's as Stable as Wired Ethernet
When you are far away from your router, enjoying the stability of a wired network connection is usually impractical or impossible. With special designed antennas, AiRadar beamforming and RangeBoost technology, RT-AX89X provides wide coverage and a stable signal, letting you enjoy a reliable and smooth connection for gaming or work anywhere in your home.

Powerful Whole-home Wi-Fi System. The Way You Want.
In most cases, your RT-AX89X 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!

• Turn your ASUS routers into whole-home Wi-Fi system with a simple firmware update
• Mix and match preferred models from selected ASUS routers
• Create a Wi-Fi network with either a single SSID or multiple SSIDs
• All router features works across the entire Wi-Fi system
