ASUS RT-AX53U Dual-Band WiFi 6 Router – AX1800, OFDMA, MU-MIMO, AiMesh | 90IG06P0-MO3500

Next-Gen WiFi Speed

RT-AX53U is a 2×2 dual-band WiFi router that provides 80MHz bandwidth and 1024-QAM for dramatically faster wireless connections. With a total networking speed of about 1800Mbps — 574Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 1201Mbps on the 5GHz band — RT-AX53U is 1.5X faster than 802.11ac 2×2 dual-band routers, with better network efficiency, power saving and coverage.

Built for Multi-Device Households

The growing number of connected personal and IoT devices has led to an overall increase in network density that is pushing the limits of older WiFi standards. With a revolutionary combination of OFDMA and MU-MIMO technology, 802.11ax provides up to 4X greater network capacity and efficiency in traffic-dense environments: previous-generation WiFi can only handle one device at a time on each network channel, while OFDMA divides each channel into small sub-channels, allowing signals from multiple devices to be bundled together and transmitted simultaneously — reducing latency for a smoother, more responsive WiFi experience.

Protection for Your Home Network

RT-AX53U incorporates ASUS AiProtection, a commercial-grade network security system powered by Trend Micro Smart Home Network. With AiProtection, all connected devices are protected — even if they have no antivirus capability of their own, such as IoT devices. AiProtection blocks common internet-based attacks before they reach the network, and if an infected device is detected, it is instantly blocked to prevent it sending personal information to malicious servers.

Connectivity Options

RT-AX53U has one Gigabit WAN port, three Gigabit LAN ports, and a USB 2.0 port — so smart TVs, game consoles, NAS storage devices, backup internet and more can have their own dedicated ports, making RT-AX53U your solid digital home hub. Robust control and optimization come via the ASUSWRT dashboard UI, which brings setup, monitoring, and network application control together in one intuitive area with fast setup, multi-device detection and flexible settings.

Expand with AiMesh

When you need more coverage, simply add any AiMesh-compatible ASUS router — RT-AX53U works as a primary router or node for seamless whole-home roaming under one network name.
