Ultrafast Wi-Fi with NitroQAM and 5GHz Quad-Stream
Technology
Whether you're gaming online in a heated competition or streaming a live
event in 4K UHD, lag and buffering are simply not an option. NitroQAM (1024-QAM)
technology delivers the ultimate 5GHz quad-stream (4x4) speeds of up to
2167Mbps, giving RT-AC86U combined total speed of 2917Mbps. So everyone on your
network can enjoy smooth streaming and low-latency online gaming!
Powerful Hardware, Ultimate Performance
With the increasing popularity of 5GHz Wi-Fi devices, a router needs to
deliver the maximum 5GHz bandwidth possible, with reliable long-range
performance. RT-AC86U has an extra internal 5GHz antenna to provide the ultimate
5GHz quad-stream performance, while RangeBoost significantly improves mid- to
long-distance Wi-Fi coverage. Additionally, RT-AC86U's top-of-the-line 1.8GHz
64bit dual-core processor brings its computational capability to the next level,
enabling USB data transfers of up to 110MB/s and router download/upload speeds
(WAN-LAN throughput) of up to 1600Mbps.
Double Gaming Boost
Enjoy low-latency online gaming with boosted internet and home network
performance!
Free Game Accelerator Inside
Ping time and variance are critical technical parameters that affect
responsiveness in online gaming, and their values depend heavily on the route
game packets take to and from their destination. The Gamers Private Network
(GPN) from WTFast automatically performs route optimization, choosing the most
efficient route for game packets, resulting in consistently-lower ping time and
minimal packet loss. With RT-AC86U this optimization is free for accelerating
one selectable device at a time, so you can enjoy the results on supported
competitive multi-player online games.
Adaptive QoS Prioritize Your Game
Boost your gaming bandwidth with Adaptive QoS (Quality of Service), which
allows you to easily prioritize gaming packets and activities. You can even
assign full dedicated bandwidth while gaming under gamer solo mode, making
RT-AC86U the perfect ally for low latency gaming anywhere in your home. It
supports major consoles including PlayStation3, PlayStation4, PS4 Pro,
PlayStationVita, Wii U, 3DS and Xbox One.
Multiple Capacity Wi-Fi with Revolutionary MU-MIMO
Technology
MU-MIMO gives every compatible device3 its own dedicated full-speed Wi-Fi
connection, so that multiple devices can connect at the same time without
slowing down the network.
In fact, RT-AC86U is able to connect to multiple MU-MIMO-compatible clients
at each device's maximum speed simultaneously, unlike standard single-user MIMO
where individual devices have to wait for sequential transmissions.
Unbeatable Coverage
With ASUS innovative antenna design and the new Range Boost technology, both
Wi-Fi range and signal stability improve dramatically. AiRadar further focuses
Wi-Fi signal on your devices, making your Wi-Fi faster, clearer and
stronger.
AiProtection Your Digital Playground is
Protected
RT-AC86U incorporates ASUS AiProtection, a commercial-grade network security
system powered by Trend Micro Smart Home Network. With AiProtection, all
connected devices are protected, even if they have no antivirus capability of
their own such as IoT devices. AiProtection blocks common internet-based attacks
before they reach the network, and if an infected device is detected on the
network, AiProtection instantly blocks it to prevent it sending any personal
information to malicious servers.
Fortified Frontline Network Security
Networking is only half the equation when it comes to game performance. As
AiProtection is integrated in RT-AC86U and powered by the router, even if a
device's security software isn't turned on to get around blocked games, for
example AiProtection still protects the network from attacks and intrusions, for
added peace of mind.
Powerful Whole-home Wi-Fi System. The Way You
Want.
In most cases, your RT-AC86U 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
ASUS Router APP Control Your Network Anywhere
In your increasingly mobile-enabled life, having control over your network
via an app is more important than ever. The new ASUS Router APP is built from
the ground-up to be both intuitive and robust, all without needing to boot up a
PC.
ASUSWRT Easily Control Your Network

you easy access to both the 3-step web-based installation process and a wealth
of robust advanced options.
