Asus RT-AX57M

details: AX3000 Dual Band WiFi 6 Extendable Router
hardware type: Wireless Router
date added: 2024-03-09
updated: 2024-05-05
RT-AX57M supports 1024-QAM for faster wireless connections. With a total networking speed of about 3000Mbps - 574 Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 2402 Mbps on the 5GHz band.

Supporting not only MU-MIMO but also OFDMA technique to efficiently allocate channels, communicating with multiple devices simultaneously.

WiFi 6 provides increased WiFi signal range and better coverage of up to 80% farther.

WiFi 6 includes a new feature called BSS Coloring that improves WiFi connection efficiency even in crowded environments. When two neighboring routers send traffic on the same channel, your router has to wait until the channel is free. With BSS Coloring, your WiFi 6 router identifies its data with a unique channel tag ('color') that's different from neighboring networks. Your WiFi 6 router can then ignore other-colored signals on the channel and send data immediately. This greatly reduces router waiting times and boosts network efficiency.

The next generation of WiFi security, bringing new capabilities to enhance WiFi protections in personal networks. Building on the widespread adoption of WPA2 over more than a decade, WPA3 adds new features to simplify WiFi security, enable more robust authentication, and deliver increased cryptographic strength for highly sensitive data markets.

Free public WiFi is rarely secure. Thanks to Instant Guard VPN technology, you can surf on public WiFi network safely through RT-AX57M with one-click setup. In addition, it's free.
