Asus Lyra delivers fast, reliable Wi-Fi to every corner of your home. Whether you're using a smartphone, PC, game console or a smart-home gadget, Lyra ensures that every device enjoys a smooth, seamless and secure connection — anywhere in the house and all the time.

Asus Lyra intelligently connects you to the best signal source and switches seamlessly between hubs without interruption as you move through your home — so you'll always enjoy a smooth, strong signal.

ASUS Lyra uses three separate frequency bands. Each hub uses one band to communicate with the others, leaving the other two bands completely free for superfast connections to your devices.

Lyra creates a single Wi-Fi network for the entire house, so there's no need to worry about which network to connect to — Lyra does all the complicated work for you.

Each Lyra hub has four integrated smart antennas. When you add a new hub to your existing Lyra network, it checks the strength and quality of each antenna's connection and uses the best two. So if there's more than one other hub on the network, Lyra will automatically connect to the hub with the best signal.

It is recommended to place the primary Lyra Hub in the middle, so that the second and third hubs can connect directly to it. This reduces the number of hops, and therefore allows lower latency.

ASUS AiProtection, powered by Trend Micro, is built into Lyra to add comprehensive protection to your home network. With AiProtection, all your connected devices — including smart home (IoT) appliances — are protected to prevent your personal data from being compromised.

With the ASUS Lyra app you can set up, manage, and diagnose your network — even without a PC! To get started, turn on your Lyra hub and connect it using the ASUS Lyra app. Complete your Lyra network details, then click Connect. After about a minute you'll be up and running!
