Get Your Home Ready for WiFi 6 (802.11ax)
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 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.
Next-Gen WiFi Speed
RT-AX56U is a 2x2 dual-band Wi-Fi router that provides 80MHz bandwidth and
1024-QAM for dramatically faster wireless connections. With a total networking
speed of about 1800Mbps 574Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 1201Mbps on the 5GHz band
RT-AX56U is 1.5X faster than 802.11ac 2x2 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-AX56U 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*.
WiFi that Goes Farther
With the latest 802.11ax WiFi standard featuring OFDMA technology, RT-AX56U
provides increased WiFi 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% farther1, resulting in a better WiFi
connection throughout your home*.
Commercial-grade Security for your Home
Network
RT-AX56U has lifetime free AiProtection Pro, powered by Trend Micro with
automatic, regularly updated security signatures to protect your devices and
personal data from internet threats. This strong security offers advanced
parental controls, including the ability to block specific websites and mobile
app types.
Powerful Whole-home Wi-Fi System. The Way You
Want.
In most cases, your RT-AX56U can deliver smooth, reliable Wi-Fi to every part
of your home. But Wi-Fi coverage can be affected by many factors room layout,
construction materials, and even furnishings. ASUS AiMesh is an innovative new
router feature that fixes these problems: it creates a whole-home Wi-Fi network
using multiple ASUS routers. AiMesh is powerful, flexible and you can use a mix
of ASUS router models protecting your investment! AiMesh gives you time-saving
central control, and seamless roaming capability. AiMesh is Wi-Fi you can rely
on for all your devices, all the time!
- Turn your ASUS routers into whole-home Wi-Fi system with a simple firmware
update
- Mix and match preferred models from selected ASUS routers
- Create a Wi-Fi network with either a single SSID or multiple
SSIDs
- All router features works across the entire Wi-Fi
system
