Games without limits

Prioritize via game port
The dedicated gaming port on RT-AX82U automatically prioritizes any wired device connected to it. No complex setup needed, just connect your PC or game console to the special LAN port for a fast and stable connection that's always at the front of the queue.

Prioritize via Gear Accelerator
Gear Accelerator lets you prioritize devices wirelessly through the RT-AX82U's online control panel. The simple interface allows you to prioritize devices to help increase speed and prevent them from fighting for bandwidth with other devices.

Eliminate WiFi congestion
Connect your devices to the 5GHz band and bypass the often congested 2.4GHz band, while enjoying up to 8.4x faster WiFi speeds. Plus, optional Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) unlocks up to 15 of the least congested channels on the 5 GHz band to give you even more bandwidth for gaming.

Eliminate network bottlenecks

Adaptive QoS (Quality of Service) allows you to keep your network running smoothly by prioritizing network traffic. You can prioritize apps like video streaming or web browsing, as well as games. It is the perfect ally to offer low latency WiFi anywhere in your home.

Games for the whole house

Commercial grade security for your home

Home network security is crucial when you have multiple devices connected, and even more so when there are devices without antivirus capabilities such as IoT devices. RT-AX82U includes free lifetime AiProtection Pro, including the latest WPA3 security protocol and advanced parental controls. All devices are protected with RT-AX82U, and you can control everything that happens on your network through the convenient mobile app.
