The New Era of Home WiFi
The growing number of connected personal and IoT devices has led to an overall increase in network density that is pushing the limits of the current WiFi standard. The latest WiFi 6 (802.11ax) provides future-proof technologies, higher network efficiency, faster Wi-Fi speeds, greater coverage and improved battery life for connected devices, providing a significantly better networking experience for users.

Warp-speed WiFi
RT-AX88U Pro is a 4x4 dual-band WiFi router that provides 160MHz bandwidth and 1024-QAM for dramatically faster wireless connections. With a total networking speed of about 6000Mbps — 1148Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 4804Mbps on the 5GHz band — RT-AX88U Pro is 2.3X faster than 802.11ac 4x4 dual-band routers.

Beyond Performance
RT-AX88U Pro is powered by a 2.0 GHz quad-core 64-bit CPU, giving it the performance to handle even the most demanding gaming network. It delivers maximum network throughput by 18%* for lightning-fast, accelerating data transfers and optimizing your gaming experience.

Disclaimer: Compared with former WiFi 6 platform

Flexible network ports functions
RT-AX88U Pro has two dual-function WAN/LAN 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports that support link aggregation and load balancing, giving you the flexibility to give massive bandwidth to connected devices or take advantage of ultra-high-speed internet connections.

Flexible network ports functions
WAN aggregation lets you to combine a 2.5 Gbps port and a 1 Gbps port to unlock up to 3.5 Gbps of WAN bandwidth, fast enough for even the latest ultra-high-speed ISPs. This massive internet bandwidth can be shared via WiFi 6 or the second 2.5 Gbps LAN port.

Flexible network ports functions
Using LAN aggregation you can bond two 1 Gbps LAN ports together to create a 2 Gbps LAN connection, which is great for supplying extra bandwidth to heavy-duty network devices such as your compatible NAS or desktop PC.

Give your Online Gaming a Double Boost
RT-AX88U Pro's Adaptive QoS prioritizes game packets for smoother online play. It also has built-in wtfast® to seek out and secure the shortest possible path between your gaming device and the game server, minimizing game ping and lag.

Commercial-grade Security for your Home Network
RT-AX88U Pro has lifetime free AiProtection Pro, powered by Trend Micro™ with automatic, regularly updated security signatures to protect your devices and personal data from internet threats. This strong security offers advanced parental controls, including the ability to block specific websites and mobile app types.
