Get your home ready for Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)The growing number of networked personal and IoT devices has led to a general increase in network density that limits the current Wi-Fi standard. The 802.11ax standard offers future-proof technologies, higher network efficiency, faster WLAN speeds, greater coverage and improved battery life for connected devices, and offers users a much better network experience.Designed for households with many end devicesWith a revolutionary combination of OFDMA and MU-MIMO technology, 802.11ax technology delivers up to four times the network capacity and efficiency in high-traffic environments. The previous generation, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, was designed to handle only one device at a time on each network channel, which meant inefficient use of available bandwidth. OFDMA support in the 802.11ax Wi-Fi standard divides each channel into small sub-channels so that signals can be bundled and transmitted simultaneously from multiple devices. This reduces latency and provides a smoother, more responsive WLAN experience.Better battery life for your devicesThe Target Wake Time (TWT) allows the RT-AX53U to schedule specific intervals for data transfer between devices. This allows the devices to go into sleep mode when they do not have to wait for a router signal. This reduces power consumption by up to 7 times and significantly extends battery life.A Wi-Fi that goes furtherThe RT-AX53U uses the 802.11ax WLAN standard with OFDMA technology. It offers a larger WLAN signal range and a better coverage by dividing each channel into smaller sub-channels. These sub-channels have a smaller bandwidth, with which you can cover a distance of up to 80%. The result is a better WLAN connection throughout the house.Protection for your home networkThe RT-AX53U has ASUS AiProtection, a commercial network security system that is supported by the Trend Micro Smart Home network. With AiProtection all connected devices are protected, even if they are not equipped with their own anti-virus functions - such as IoT devices AiProtection blocks all Internet-based attacks before they reach the network. If an infected device is detected on the network, AiProtection blocks it immediately to prevent personal data from being sent to insecure servers.Comprehensive connectivity optionsThe RT-AX53U has a Gigabit WAN port, three Gigabit LAN ports, and a USB 2.0 port. With its dedicated ports for smart TVs, game consoles, NAS devices, backup Internet and much more, the RT-AX53U becomes a digital center for home and network.This text is machine translated.
