Next Generation Wi-Fi now available in Norway as ASUS Launches first router with AX/Wi-Fi 6 Technology

The ASUS RT-AX88U router with 802.11ax Wi-Fi technology is now available

KEY POINTS

• Record high network speeds: RT-AX88U has a total network speed of 6000Mbps.1148Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 4804Mbps on the 5GHz band — that makes RT-AX88U is 2.3X faster than 802.11ac 4x4 dual-band routers.  

• Better coverage: OFDMA technology divides each channel to sub channel which enables significantly better coverage.   

• Improved battery life for mobile devices: Target Wake Time (TWT) allows RT-AX88U 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.

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 802.11ax, or Wi-Fi-6 standard 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.

With the latest 802.11ax Wi-Fi, ASUS RT-AX88U supports 160MHz bandwidth and 1024-QAM to provide ultrafast Wi-Fi speeds of up 6000Mbps — 1148Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 4804Mbps on the 5GHz band — 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, 802.11ax technology provides up to 4X greater network capacity and efficiency in traffic-dense environments. Previous-generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi can only handle one device at a time on each network channel, which is an inefficient use of available bandwidth. OFDMA support in the 802.11ax Wi-Fi standard 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-AX88U 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 802.11ax Wi-Fi standard featuring OFDMA technology, RT-AX88U provides increased W-iFi 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% farther, resulting in a better Wi-Fi connection throughout your home.

Extreme Power with 1.8GHz Quad-core CPU

RT-AX88U features a top-of-the-line 1.8GHz 64-bit quad-core CPU that is more powerful than many desktop processors. With its incredible performance, RT-AX88U maximizes throughput for the best networking performance, accelerates USB data transfers and more.

Support for AiMesh

Combine more than one RT-AX88U with ASUS AiMesh. This enables you to create an extreme performance AX-based Mesh-System
