REVOLUTIONARY HARDWARE

Powered by a 1.4 GHz dual-core processor backed by 512 MB of memory, the RT-AC88U has plenty of horsepower to efficiently balance its dual-band 2.4 & 5 GHz networks, Eight Gigabit Ethernet ports with 2 Gbps link aggregation capability and USB 3.0 & 2.0 storage/networking functionality.

BUILT-IN GAME ACCELERATION

The path gaming packets take once they leave your network affects ping time and stability. Inefficient hops lead to inconsistent ping and packet loss. The RT-AC88U features a built-in WTFast client to access the GPN: a private network of route-optimized servers to ensure consistently low ping times.

FARTHER COVERAGE

With a four-transmit, four-receive (4T4R) antenna design, both Wi-Fi range and signal stability improve dramatically, able to reach even the farthest stretches of your home. AiRadar beamforming further focuses Wi-Fi signal on your devices, making your Wi-Fi faster, clearer and stronger.

MU-MIMO READY

MU-MIMO gives every compatible device its own dedicated full-speed Wi-Fi connection, so that multiple devices can connect at the same time without slowing down the network. In fact, MU-MIMO-compatible clients will connect at each client’s respective maximum speed simultaneously.

EIGHT GIGABIT LAN PORTS

Unique to the RT-AC88U are its eight gigabit LAN ports, perfect for gaming PCs, set-top boxes or anything else that needs an unwavering gigabit connection. You can even enable link aggregation and combine the 2 teaming ports to achieve up to 2 Gbps transfer speeds, ideal for NAS.

AIPROTECTION POWERED BY TREND MICRO

Just as wireless technology has evolved, online threats have similarly evolved. AiProtection provides multi-stage protection against these threats. From vulnerability protection and malicious site blocking to preventing already-infected devices from transmitting personal data, AiProtection keeps your digital playground safe and sound.
