ASUS launches wireless routers

ASUS has launched the RT-AC87U, the world’s first AC2400-class dual-band 802.11ac wireless router with a four-transmit, four-receive (4×4) antenna configuration. The easy-to-use router is also the first in the world to employ multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) technology.

Combined with ASUS AiRadar universal beamforming, adaptive Quality-of-Service (QoS), plus AiProtection with exclusive Trend Micro security, RT-AC87U is expertly-engineered for outstanding performance and coverage in today’s multi-device households. Offering 5GHz speeds that are faster than wired Gigabit Ethernet, along with class-leading 2.4GHz speeds and reliable multi-floor coverage, RT-AC87U is the perfect choice for discerning users with busy multi-device home networks who need extreme coverage, lightning-fast performance, rock-solid stability and total peace of mind.

RT-AC87U uses four high-performance antennas, four separate spatial data streams, ASUS AiRadar, MU-MIMO and adaptive QoS technology. The 4×4 antennas improve coverage by up to 33% compared to standard 3×3 models, and typically RT-AC87U can effortlessly cover an area up to 465m², making it ideal for eliminating ‘dead spots’ in large or multi-floor environments.

It provides speeds of up to 1734Mbit/s at 5GHz and 600Mbit/s at 2.4GHz, a combined total of 2334Mbit/s. AiProtection with exclusive Trend Micro™ technology actively prevents, protects and mitigates against external threats for total peace of mind.
