Built for Multi-device Households

With a revolutionary combination of OFDMA and MU-MIMO technology, the WiFi 6 (802.11ax) standard provides:

• 4X greater network capacity and efficiency in traffic-dense environments.
• OFDMA divides channels into smaller sub-channels, allowing multiple devices to transmit data simultaneously.
• Reduced latency for a smoother and more responsive WiFi experience.

Better Battery Life for Your Devices

Target Wake Time (TWT) schedules designated intervals for devices to transmit data, allowing them to sleep when not in use. This reduces power consumption by up to 7X, significantly improving battery life.

WiFi that Goes Farther

With OFDMA technology, the RT-AX53U provides:

• Increased WiFi signal range
• Better coverage by dividing channels into smaller sub-channels
• Sub-channels that travel up to 80% farther, ensuring a reliable connection throughout your home.

Protection for Your Home Network

The RT-AX53U incorporates ASUS AiProtection, powered by Trend Micro™ Smart Home Network.

• Protects all connected devices, even those without antivirus capabilities (e.g., IoT devices).
• Blocks common internet-based attacks before they reach your network.
• Instantly blocks infected devices to prevent the transmission of personal information to malicious servers.

Connectivity Options

The RT-AX53U includes:

• 1 Gigabit WAN port
• 3 Gigabit LAN ports
• 1 USB 2.0 port

This allows smart TVs, game consoles, NAS storage devices, backup internet, and more to have their own dedicated ports, making the RT-AX53U a solid digital home hub.
