- General
- Brand: ASUS
- Model Number: RT-AX82U
- Product Name: RT-AX82U AX5400 Dual-Band WiFi 6 Gaming Router with Life time internet Security
- Color: Black
- Security
- Firewall Type: SPI, Other (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.)
- Network
- 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 Connected Devices: 64
- 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.)
- Wi-Fi Range: 5400 square feet (The device will provide a Wi-Fi connection to this approximate area.)
- 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.)

Q: Whats the coverage of this router?
A: I bought it for my son's room for gaming PC. As we live in a rural area, limited low internet speed.it is a direct ethernet connecte to his pc and internet has jumped up to 10+mbps , and the wifi coverage is great..We live in a 3000 sq ft home..I will be on the other end of the house from his room where router is located and still have full bars..Hope that helps..
Q: How many devices can this router handle?
A: We have 3 cell phones, 5 TVs, an XBox, a desktop computer, and 3 laptops all hooked up to it. About half of those are being actively used at any given time, and at least 2 or 3 are typically streaming video. It seems to handle the volume wuite well.
Q: How many square feet of coverage does this router cover?
A: Our house is 2,000 sq. ft. with 60+ devices connected to this router.
Q: Is a phone app required to install this router, like some Linksys routers?
A: No it's not you can go onto your web browser and type in 192.168. 1.1 to set up the router and set up 5g and 2.4g connections.
A: I think you need a Fios modem. There are no coaxial connections to the router. A modem will have the coaxial input and one RS232 connector that will connect to the router; probably have a phone connector too. Call Verizon and ask for a modem. They will probably have the Arris modem. That is the one cable uses and is most popular. You can buy the Arris modem as well. If you buy one you'll have to give Verizon the mac address of the modem to activate and connect to their network. Its a learning curve for sure. But the router works great.
A: No, they are basic RGB as in the sense of gaming decor. There are 3 color modes you can choose from (with some customization in 2 of the modes) but they are strictly for aesthetics. They can also be turned completely off.
A: I found the Asus AX5400 (aka RT-AX82U) to cover my 2500 sq/ft home effectively. It is also part of Asus AiMesh, allowing the addition/connection of other Mesh capable devices to expand wifi reach.
Q: Is this router compatible with Spectrum cable internet service?
A: Yes, the router is compatible with Spectrum cable modem.
