Asus RT-AX82U Gaming Router, Wi-Fi 6, AX5400, Dual-band, Black

The ASUS RT-AX82U is a dual-band desktop router that supports the Wi‑Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard. It offers a maximum combined wireless throughput of 5400 Mbit/s across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands and uses 1024-QAM modulation to increase data density. Four external antennas handle signal distribution, while MU-MIMO technology allows for simultaneous data transmission to multiple devices. The router is compatible with legacy standards, including 802.11a/b/g and Wi-Fi 4/5.

Wired connectivity includes one Gigabit Ethernet WAN port and four Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports. A single USB 3.2 Gen 1 port is available for connecting storage or peripherals.
