 Gaming Without Limits
Prioritize via Gaming Port
The dedicated gaming port on RT-AX86S automatically prioritizes any wired device connected to it. No complex
configuration is needed, just connect your gaming PC or console to the special LAN port to give you a fast, stable
connection that's always at the head of the queue.

Prioritize via Gear Accelerator

Gear Accelerator lets you prioritize devices wirelessly via RT-AX86S's online control panel. The simple
interface lets you prioritize devices to help boost their speed and prevent them fighting over bandwidth with
other devices.

Eliminate WiFi Congestion

Connect your devices to the 5 GHz band and avoid the often-congested 2.4 GHz band, while enjoying up to 5.6X faster WiFi
speeds. Also, optional Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) unlocks up to 15 of the least-congested channels on the 5GHz band
to give you even more bandwidth for gaming.***

Gaming Without Limits

Prioritize via Gaming Port
RT-AX86S is designed to break down all the
barriers that can slow down your gaming. It
supports up to a 2 Gbps internet connection, so
you can unlock the full potential of high-speed
networking for both wired and WiFi connections.
 Remove Network Bottlenecks
Adaptive QoS (Quality of Service) lets you keep your network running smoothly by prioritizing network traffic. You
can prioritize applications such as streaming video or web surfing, as well as gaming. It's the perfect ally for
delivering low-latency WiFi anywhere in your home.

Whole-Home Gaming
Does your router leave you with WiFi dead spots? RT-AX86S supports ASUS AiMesh, a unique mesh-networking
technology that creates a whole-home network using multiple ASUS routers. With easy central control and seamless
roaming, even non-experts can set it up with any AiMesh-capable routers you own. Say goodbye to WiFi dead zones!

Commercial-grade Security
for Your Home
Home network security is crucial when you have multiple connected devices, and even more so when there are devices
without anti-virus capabilities such as IoT devices. RT-AX86S includes lifetime free AiProtection Pro, including the latest
WPA3 security protocol and advanced Parental Controls. Every device is protected with RT-AX86S, and you can keep an eye
on everything that's happening on your network via the handy mobile app.

 Disclaimer:
* Actual data throughput and WiFi coverage will vary from network conditions and environmental factors,
including the volume of network traffic, building material and construction, and network overhead, result
in lower actual data throughput and wireless coverage.
** To benefit from WiFi 6 features, the WiFi client needs to be WiFi 6 capable.
*** The number of speed is calculated with data rate of 2.4 GHz band and of 5 GHz band, which are
respectively 861 and 4804 Mbps. And the DFS channels may not be supported in some countries due to
local regulations.
