Asus RT-AC87U
|
| details: | Wireless AC2400 Dual-band Gigabit Router |
| hardware type: | Wireless Router |
| date added: | 2014-08-25 |
| updated: | 2019-12-18 |
RT-AC87U delivers wireless speeds of up to 1734Mbit/s at 5GHz - even faster than tri-band 3x3 routers - plus class-leading concurrent 600Mbit/s speeds at 2.4GHz for an amazing total bandwidth of 2334Mbit/s.
With a separate high-gain antenna for each of the four spatial data streams, this router gives you true 4x4 multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) wireless performance that delivers top performance for all your wireless devices, even those using older Wi-Fi standards. MU-MIMO greatly increases the efficiency of the Wi-Fi network, mitigating potential bottlenecks as more devices are connected to the access point.
RT-AC87U comes with a dedicated Gigabit WAN port, five 1000Mbit/s Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports (one of which can be used as a second WAN port), and hardware-accelerated NAT.
Configure a VPN server or turn your network-connected devices into VPN-enabled clients - with PPTP and OpenVPN protocol support - with no need for paid VPN services or a dedicated VPN server.
Notes:
RT-AC87U and RT-AC87R are the exact same router. The only difference is that the "R" stands for "reseller" (e.g. sold through reseller stores like Best Buy), while "U" stands for "universal" (e.g. sold by any online retailer)
The RT-AC87U has an unusual architecture, since it has two different manufacturers for its 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios. Because of this, this model does not support AiMesh, and no AiMesh firmware is planned.
