ASUS is driven by passion and innovation and dedicated to creating quality products for a future smart life, designing and manufacturing products that perfectly meet the needs of today's digital home, office and person. Our wide portfolio includes MG248Q, Chromebox and a range of devices and components, along with AR and VR. AX1800 Dual Band WiFi 6 (802.11ax) Router supporting MU-MIMO and OFDMA technology, with AiProtection Classic network security powered by Trend Micro New-Gen WiFi Standard – WiFi 6(802.11ax) standard supporting MU-MIMO and OFDMA technology for better efficiency and throughput. Connect in your way – You can share the internet from 3G/4G dongle to the router by plug the dongle in a USB port. RT-AX53U supports 1024-QAM for dramatically faster wireless connections. With a total networking speed of about 1800Mbps 574 Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 1201 Mbps on the 5GHz band. Increase Capacity and Efficiency – Supporting not only MU-MIMO but also OFDMA technique to efficiently allocate channels, communicate with multiple devices simultaneously 4 Gigabit ports – One Gigabit WAN port and three Gigabit LAN ports, 10X faster than 100–Base T Ethernet. AiProtection and Parental Controls – helps keep your network protected and allow you to set the time limit for a client's network usage Next-Gen WiFi Speed RT-AX53U is a 2x2 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 2x2 dual-band routers. Built for Multi-device Households With a revolutionary combination of OFDMA and MU-MIMO technology, 802.11ax technology provides up to 4X greater network capacity and efficiency in traffic-dense environments. Previous-generation 802.11ac WiFi can only handle one device at a time on each network channel, which is an inefficient use of available bandwidth. OFDMA support in the WiFi 6(802.11ax) standard 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. Better Battery Life for Your Devices Target Wake Time (TWT) allows RT-AX53U to schedule designated intervals for devices to transmit data. This allows them to sleep when there is no need to wait for a router signal, reducing power consumption by up to 7X for significantly improved battery life. WiFi that Goes Farther With the latest WiFi 6(802.11ax) standard featuring OFDMA technology, RT-AX53U provides increased WiFi signal range and better coverage by dividing each channel into smaller sub-channels. These sub-channels have a smaller bandwidth that enables them to travel up to 80% farther1, resulting in a better WiFi connection throughout your home*. 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 on the network, AiProtection instantly blocks it to prevent it sending any personal information to malicious servers. Connectivity Options RT-AX53U has one Gigabit WAN port, three Gigabit LAN ports, and USB 2.0 port*. Smart TV, game consoles, NAS storage devices, backup internet and more can now have their own dedicated ports, making RT-AX53U your solid digital home hub. Robust control and optimization with ASUSWRT With the ASUSWRT dashboard UI, setup, monitor, and control network applications all in one intuitive area. With fast setup, multi-device detection, and flexible settings, ASUSWRT makes the most of your network performance. *xActual 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent and stable network performance.
*by V***R on 26 December 2025*

Using it as a main router on my Airtel 300Mbps connection. 1.Solid wired and Wifi performance. 2.Top notch firmware, AI protection security and Asus router mobile app. 3.Very easy to setup. 4.Full 300Mbps internet speed. 5. Much better than Airtel Zyxel Router.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Coming from Netgear
*by R***R on 14 July 2023*

Coming from Netgear R6220, I am quite disappointed with this router in terms of GUI functionalities. The UI is so suffocating I could barely want to hover into the tabs, Some pages display improper information. Though this is the day 1 review. I felt, Asus should have kept the GUI simple like Netgear. It feels like I am in a BIOS settings page. I understand Asus main theme is like gaming and over visuals. But for home routers, they should have made it simpler. This is my opinion. On the other hand, the device surely looks premium with its build. From far distance, the long antennas make it look quite cheap. Wifi signal is strong and I get good speeds from far ranges. Dead zones are now minimized. Security Features: If you are a tech savy, I recommend not to be fooled by the AI protection and Security features it provides. It just forwards the DNS requests to popular content inspection Servers which takes care of the Safe browsing. At the end the device is still sending the request to the external DNS servers for packet inspections. If you are tech literate, I would recommend to setup a personnel DNS server using Adgaurd/pi-hole, which are absolutely free. Overall, I would recommend this product but this might disappoint folks who are coming from Netgear. Apart from that it is a decent router.
