Boost Your Mobile Gaming
Minimise lag and latency for mobile gaming with just a tap on the ASUS Router app.

Prioritise via Gaming Port
The dedicated gaming port on RT-AX82U automatically prioritises any wired device connected to it. No complex configuration is needed, just connect your gaming PC or console to the special LAN port to give you a fast, stable connection that's always at the head of the queue.

Remove Network Bottlenecks
Adaptive QoS (Quality of Service) lets you keep your network running smoothly by prioritising network traffic. You can prioritise applications such as streaming video or web surfing, as well as gaming. It's the perfect ally for delivering low-latency WiFi anywhere in your home.

Whole-Home Gaming
Does your router leave you with WiFi dead spots? RT-AX82U supports ASUS AiMesh, a unique mesh-networking technology that creates a whole-home network using multiple ASUS routers. With easy central control and seamless roaming, even non-experts can set it up with any AiMesh-capable routers you own. Say goodbye to WiFi dead zones!

Commercial-grade Security for Your Home
Home network security is crucial when you have multiple connected devices, and even more so when there are devices without anti-virus capabilities such as IoT devices. RT-AX82U includes lifetime free AiProtection Pro, including the latest WPA3 security protocol and advanced Parental Controls. Every device is protected with RT-AX82U, and you can keep an eye on everything that's happening on your network via the handy mobile app.

Fortified Frontline Network Security
RT-AX82U features AiProtection Pro powered by Trend Micro to defend your network from external attacks, with automatic and regular updates. Working with WPA3, the latest WiFi security protocol, AiProtection Pro keeps out security threats before they can reach your devices, including devices that cannot install anti-virus software — such as smartphones and game consoles.
