Technology: Whether you're gaming online in a heated competition or
streaming a live event in 4K UHD, lag and buffering are simply not an option.
NitroQAM™ (1024-QAM) technology delivers the ultimate 5GHz quad-stream (4×4)
speeds of up to 2167Mbps, giving RT-AC86U combined total speed of 2917Mbps. So
everyone on your network can enjoy smooth streaming and low-latency online
gaming!
- Powerful Hardware, Ultimate Performance: With the
increasing popularity of 5GHz Wi-Fi devices, a router needs to deliver the
maximum 5GHz bandwidth possible, with reliable long-range performance. RT-AC86U
has an extra internal 5GHz antenna to provide the ultimate 5GHz quad-stream
performance, while RangeBoost significantly improves mid- to long-distance Wi-Fi
coverage. Additionally, RT-AC86U's top-of-the-line 1.8GHz 64bit dual-core
processor brings its computational capability to the next level, enabling USB
data transfers of up to 110MB/s and router download/upload speeds (WAN-LAN
throughput) of up to 1600Mbps.
- Free Game Accelerator Inside: Ping time and variance are
critical technical parameters that affect responsiveness in online gaming, and
their values depend heavily on the route game packets take to and from their
destination. The Gamers Private Network® (GPN®) from WTFast® automatically
performs route optimization, choosing the most efficient route for game packets,
resulting in consistently-lower ping time and minimal packet loss. With RT-AC86U
this optimization is free for accelerating one selectable device at a time, so
you can enjoy the results on supported competitive multi-player
online games.
- Adaptive QoS – Prioritize Your Game: Boost your gaming
bandwidth with Adaptive QoS (Quality of Service), which allows you to easily
prioritize gaming packets and activities. You can even assign full dedicated
bandwidth while gaming under gamer solo mode, making RT-AC86U the perfect ally
for low latency gaming anywhere in your home. It supports major consoles
including PlayStation®3, PlayStation®4, PS4™ Pro, PlayStation®Vita, Wii U,
3DS and Xbox One.
- Multiple Capacity Wi-Fi with Revolutionary MU-MIMO
Technology: MU-MIMO gives every compatible device3 its own dedicated
full-speed Wi-Fi connection, so that multiple devices can connect at the same
time without slowing down the network.
- Unbeatable Coverage: With ASUS innovative antenna design
and the new Range Boost technology, both Wi-Fi range and signal stability
improve dramatically. AiRadar further focuses Wi-Fi signal on your devices,
making your Wi-Fi faster, clearer and stronger.
- AiProtection Pro – Commercial-Grade Security for Family:
All your family members, young or old, are exposed to the dangers of internet
every single moment they're online. Disguised cyber threats can sneak in to
steal your private data, or your kids may accidentally encounter inappropriate
content during their ever-growing screen time. RT-AC86U includes Advanced
Parental Controls to give you total peace of mind, with AiProtection Pro –
commercial grade security for your home network and comprehensive, easy control
of the online experience for each family member and each device, all via the
mobile app.
- Fortified Frontline Network Security: Networking is only
half the equation when it comes to game performance. As AiProtection is
integrated in RT-AC86U and powered by the router, even if a device's security
software isn't turned on — to get around blocked games, for example —
AiProtection still protects the network from attacks and intrusions, for added
peace of mind.
- Powerful Whole-home Wi-Fi System. – The Way You Want.:
In most cases, your RT-AC86U can deliver smooth, reliable Wi-Fi to every part of
your home. But Wi-Fi coverage can be affected by many factors — room layout,
construction materials, and even furnishings. ASUS AiMesh is an innovative new
router feature that fixes these problems: it creates a whole-home Wi-Fi network
using multiple ASUS routers. AiMesh is powerful, flexible and you can use a mix
of ASUS router models — protecting your investment! AiMesh gives you
time-saving central control, and seamless roaming capability. AiMesh is Wi-Fi
you can rely on — for all your devices, all the time!
- ASUS Router APP – Control Your Network Anywhere: In your
increasingly mobile-enabled life, having control over your network via an app is
more important than ever. The new ASUS Router APP is built from the ground-up to
be both intuitive and robust, all without needing to boot up a PC.
- ASUSWRT – Easily Control Your Network: RT-AC86U 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.
- Connectivity Options: RT-AC86U has four Gigabit LAN ports,
USB 2.0 port and USB 3.0 (USB 3.1 Gen 1) port. Smart TV, game consoles, NAS
storage devices and more can now have their own dedicated ports, making RT-AC86U
your digital home hub.
- Your Sharing Center: With built-in USB 3.0 (USB 3.1 Gen 1)
and USB 2.0 ports, you can connect USB-enabled devices, such as external
storage drives, printers, or a 3G/4G dongle to your ASUS router and share them
conveniently with other users via Wi-Fi. And with USB 3.1 Gen 1, you can enjoy
up to 10X faster data transfer speeds.
