ASUS AiMesh

AiMesh is an innovative new router feature that connects multiple ASUS routers to create a whole-home WiFi network. It’s a powerful and flexible

way to solve your WiFi problems that also makes the most of your existing hardware: you can mix different ASUS router models,

so when you upgrade there’s no need to throw away your old router — you can use it to expand your AiMesh network.

Revolutionary Hardware Powered by a 1.4 GHz dual-core processor backed by 512 MB of memory, the RT-AC88U has plenty of horsepower to efficiently balance its dual-band (2.4 and 5 GHz) networks, EIGHT Gigabit Ethernet ports with 2 Gbps link aggregation capability and USB 3.0 and 2.0 storage/networking functionality.	Built-in Game Acceleration The path gaming packets take once they leave your network affects ping time and stability. Inefficient hops lead to inconsistent ping and packet loss. The RT-AC88U features a built-in WTFast client to access the GPN: a private network of route-optimized servers to ensure consistently low ping times.	Farther Coverage With a four-transmit, four-receive (4T4R) antenna design, both Wi-Fi range and signal stability improve dramatically, able to reach even the farthest stretches of your home. AiRadar beamforming further focuses Wi-Fi signal on your devices, making your Wi-Fi faster, clearer and stronger.	Eight Gigabit LAN Ports Unique to the RT-AC88U are its eight gigabit LAN ports, perfect for gaming PCs, set-top boxes or anything else that needs an unwavering gigabit connection. You can even enable link aggregation and combine the 2 teaming ports to achieve up to 2 Gbps transfer speeds, ideal for NAS.

MU-MIMO Ready MU-MIMO gives every compatible device its own dedicated full-speed Wi-Fi connection, so that multiple devices can connect at the same time without slowing down the network. In fact, MU-MIMO-compatible clients will connect at each client’s respective maximum speed simultaneously.	AiProtection Powered by Trend Micro Just as wireless technology has evolved, online threats have similarly evolved. AiProtection provides multi-stage protection against these threats. From vulnerability protection and malicious site blocking to preventing already-infected devices from transmitting personal data, AiProtection keeps your digital playground safe and sound.	ASUSWRT User Interface The RT-AC88U features the enhanced, intuitive ASUSWRT user interface, which gives you easy access to both the 3-step web-based installation process and a wealth of robust advanced options.	ASUS Router App With the ASUS Router App it’s much easier and more intuitive to manage your ASUS router. From initial setup to real-time network traffic monitoring to managing security settings and connected devices.
