  • Security
    • Data Encryption: true
    • Encryption Type: WPA3-Personal, WPA2-Personal, WPA-Personal, WPA-Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise (The security protocols or certification programs that protect the Wi-Fi network.)
    • Firewall Type: SPI (The method the firewall uses to filter and process data to increase network security, primarily by blocking malicious traffic requests while allowing legitimate traffic through.)
    • Parental Controls: true (Allows user to block unwanted content, signals, channels, networks, etc. from being received or accessed.)
  • Network
    • Band Technology: Dual (Refers to the number of frequency bands used to wirelessly transmit an internet signal. For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)
    • Ethernet Standard: 10/100/1000 (Each standard is a variation of the IEEE 802.3 set of computer networking technologies known as Ethernet. New versions evolved to include higher bandwidth, different physical media, and other new and improved features. Standards are often denoted by speeds (in Megabits per second). For example, a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)
    • Number of Antennas: 4
    • Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz (Bands may be grouped into categories such as low- and high-band VHF (Very High Frequency), low- and high-band UHF (Ultra High Frequency), or certain frequency channels (measured in MHz or GHz). Generally, higher frequencies transmit information faster but have shorter range than lower frequencies.)
    • Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 6 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)
    • Wireless Standard: AX, AC, N (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
    • Number of 2.4Ghz Streams: 1 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. Because the 2.4 GHz band is used to transmit wireless signals to a wide variety of devices, there is often high amounts of traffic on that stream. But with multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 2.4 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a desktop computer, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that use more data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
    • Number of 5.0Ghz Streams: 1 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. The 5.0 GHz band provides high speed, short-range data transmission and typically has less traffic than the 2.4 GHz band. With multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 5.0 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a streaming media player, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that need less data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
  • Certifications Listings & Approvals
    • ENERGY STAR Certified: true (Devices carrying the ENERGY STAR service mark, such as computer products and peripherals, kitchen appliances, and other products, generally use 20% to 30% less energy than required by federal standards.)
  • Features
    • Beamforming: true (A signal processing technique that enables a router to focus a Wi-Fi signal in a specific direction. The router determines where a connected device in the network is located and projects a stronger signal in that specific direction. This can result in faster and higher quality data transfer as well as reduced signal interference.)
    • Integrated Modem: false
    • Wireless: true
  • Ports
    • Port Type(s): RJ-45, USB, None, None (USB 2.0 connects external drives, gaming controllers, smartphones, MP3 players and other accessories.USB 3.0 transfers data faster than USB 2.0, but only when used with USB 3.0 devices.USB Type-C provides fast speeds and versatile power, featuring connectors with identical ends that plug in upside down or right side up. Adapters allow for video as well as backward compatibility.Thunderbolt provides ultra-high bandwidth for fast data transfer between devices featuring a Thunderbolt or MiniDisplayPort connection.HDMI allows you to connect a projector or display HD media on your HDTV or monitor.Media card slots allow you to transfer photos from your digital camera or camcorder.)

  • Quick Start Guide

Q: Will this work with Star Link and what type mesh node can I use?

A: We have two working with Starlink. One is directly connected with the Starlink adapter and the other is meshed in. Great signal and range.

Q: Is this a good unit to add to the asus RT-BE96U. I have a couple dead spots due to our home being brick and the layout. I get a signal but it just lags.

A: The wireless router has been good for me, I recommend it. As long as both routers support Ai Mesh you can set up this router to mimic what the primary router uses. The only issue I had with using Ai Mesh is my Google Home speaker kept getting confused and would sometimes work and other times it would say I need to set up the speaker again. I stopped using Ai Mesh and the speaker has continued to work normal.

Q: What is "invisible antenna" supposed to mean, as advertised on the 5th picture? Does it mean there are antennas on the inside of the router in addition to the 4 that stick out the back?

A: “Invisible antenna” refers to internal antennas built into the router’s body. In addition to the four external antennas, the ASUS RT-AX82U V2 includes internal antennas to enhance signal coverage while maintaining a clean design.

Q: Is the firewall on this router stateful or stateless?

A: The firewall on the ASUS RT-AX82U V2 router is stateful. Stateful firewalls can monitor and track the state of active connections and make decisions based on the context of the traffic, providing a higher level of security.

Q: How many PS5s and Nintendo switches can I have connected playing at the same time with no issues/lag?

A: There are 4 ethernet ports for plugging in devices for a wired internet connection. The number of wifi connections and the speed you get are both going to be determined by your internet service provider. This router is capable of handling speeds up to 1000 mbps. Most home internet services will not exceed that speed.

Q: Does this work with AT&T at all? Do I need anything special to connect this

A: It will work with any ISP provided they give you an ethernet cable as the output.

Q: Is this compatible with Frontier Fios?

A: Is Frontier Fios is fiber optic, like the Internet service provider website mentions, then they will use the WAN connection on the back of the router. If that is the case, it should be compatible.
