The latest NitroQAM technology increases Wi-Fi speeds in a heavily used network for every user and every device. With the greatest range ever achieved, lightning-fast USB and WAN/LAN speeds, complete security and 8 Gigabit LAN ports, the RT-AC88U offers a top-level, all-round worry-free package.

Whether in the heat of an online gaming battle or while streaming a live event in 4K/UHD, latency and buffering are simply not an option. The RT-AC88U's NitroQAM (1024-QAM) technology delivers a combined Wi-Fi speed of 3,167 Mbps, ensuring that every user on the network can enjoy lag-free streaming and online gaming.

Ping times and jitter are critical technical parameters that affect responsiveness in online gaming. These values depend mainly on the route that game data packets have to travel to and from their destination. The Gamers Private Network (GPN) from WTFast automatically optimises routing performance by selecting the most efficient route for game data packets, resulting in consistently lower ping times and minimal packet loss. RT-AC88U users get this optimisation free of charge, so they are always one step ahead of their opponents in almost any multiplayer online game — at no extra cost.

With Adaptive QoS (Quality of Service), you can increase the bandwidth available for games by simply prioritising game data packets and activities. In single-player mode, you can even allocate all of the available bandwidth. As a result, the RT-AC88U enables low-latency gaming anywhere in your home, making it your ideal ally in the game.

A powerful network is only half the battle when it comes to gaming performance. Antivirus programs and other security applications can take up valuable processor and memory resources that the game needs. Thanks to the AiProtection built into the RT-AC88U, these programs can easily be disabled while gaming, so every last bit of available resources is reserved exclusively for the game.

The RT-AC88U is the master of entertainment, as it supports as many devices as there are guests. What's more, it can even deliver several Full HD 1080P streams at the same time. Beyond consuming content, the RT-AC88U makes for a smarter home by supporting IP cameras, thermostats and a wide range of other devices.

ASUS AiProtection with Trend Micro ensures a safe and secure online connection. AiProtection offers all-round protection by combining automatic vulnerability detection, blocking of malicious websites and parental control features.
