ASUS RT-AX57 802.11ax Dual Band Wireless AX3000 WiFi 6 Extendable Router Feature 1

WiFi that Goes Further

WiFi 6 provides increased WiFi signal range and better coverage of up to 80% farther.

ASUS have designed RT-AX57 to give you the widest possible WiFi coverage. It uses OFDMA, a new technology in WiFi 6 that allows signals to travel further than they can in WiFi 5. The 2x2 MIMO configuration helps too, as do other enhancements like beamforming, which focuses the signal towards each device.

Faster WiFi. Smoother Usage.

With a total networking speed of 3,000Mbps— RT-AX57 is 1.5X faster than 802.11ac 2X2 dual-band routers (The data compares speed of 2x2 WiFi 6 solution on 2.4GHz / 5GHz bands to speed of 2X2 WiFi 5 solution on 2.4GHz / 5GHz bands).

BSS Colouring Boosts Connection Efficiency

WiFi 6 includes a new feature called BSS Colouring that improves WiFi connection efficiency even in crowded environments. When two neighbouring routers send traffic on the same channel, your router has to wait until the channel is free. With BSS Colouring, your WiFi 6 router identifies its data with a unique channel tag ('colour) that's different from neighbouring networks. Your WiFi 6 router can then ignore other-coloured signals on the channel and send data immediately. (A BSS Colouring-compatible client is needed to enjoy the benefit.) This greatly reduces router waiting times and boosts network efficiency.

The Latest WPA3 Network Security

The next generation of WiFi security, bringing new capabilities to enhance WiFi protections in personal networks. Building on the widespread adoption of WPA2 over more than a decade, WPA3 adds new features to simplify WiFi security, enable more robust authentication, and deliver increased cryptographic strength for highly sensitive data markets.
