ASUS Announces AiMesh AX6100 Wi-Fi System (RT-AX92U 2-Pack)

ASUS today announced the AiMesh AX6100 Wi-Fi System, a complete home mesh Wi-Fi solution consisting of two ASUS RT-AX92U wireless routers. 

Featuring the latest Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) technology, which includes a variety of new technologies that improve Wi-Fi speed and network capacity, the AiMesh AX6100 Wi-Fi System provides extremely fast, stable and strong Wi-Fi connections anywhere in the home as well as future-proof performance and compatibility with current and legacy Wi-Fi devices.

• The most powerful mesh system — The combination of ASUS AiMesh and the latest Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) enables ultrafast Wi-Fi for all connected devices.
• Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) — Latest Wi-Fi standard supports 160MHz bandwidth and 1024-QAM for speeds of up 6100Mbps — 2.7X faster than 802.11ac 4x4 routers
• Flexible Wi-Fi for connected devices — Tri-band design dedicates one band to router communication and two bands to devices for maximum speed and stability
• Commercial-grade network security for the home — AiProtection Pro protects all devices on the network and includes advanced parental control

The AiMesh AX6100 Wi-Fi System takes advantage of the speed, capacity and stability provided by Wi-Fi 6 by using it for the backhaul connection the two routers use to communicate with each other, ensuring that users can enjoy the full networking speeds from their internet service provider anywhere in the home. It also features a tri-band design, which dedicates one full Wi-Fi band to the backhaul connection and two full bands to device connections for maximized performance and stability. The AiMesh AX6100 Wi-Fi System comes with commercial-grade AiProtection Pro security powered by Trend Micro™ to keep every connected device on the network safe from internet threats. This powerful security software comes with free automatic updates to ensure protection stays current. It also features advanced parental controls to help parents keep their children safe online as well as monitor and control internet usage.

Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)

With the latest Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) technology, the AiMesh AX6100 Wi-Fi System supports 160MHz bandwidth and 1024-QAM to provide ultrafast Wi-Fi speeds of up 6100Mbps — 4804Mbps on the 5GHz-2 band — RT-AX92U is 2.7X faster than normal 802.11ac 4x4 routers. In addition to boosting Wi-Fi speeds, the Wi-Fi 6 standard offers a number of other improvements and optimizations that address the massive increase in the number of connected devices in recent years. The AiMesh AX6100 Wi-Fi System features a combination of OFDMA and MU-MIMO technology that provides up to 4X better network efficiency and capacity. With OFDMA, the data channel is separated into smaller sub channels, so data from different devices can be bundled together to ensure no bandwidth is wasted. This means that one channel can transmit data to several devices at the same time, improving efficiency and reducing latency. These smaller sub channels also enable the AiMesh AX6100 Wi-Fi System to provide up to 80% greater coverage than previous-generation routers. Each AiMesh AX6100 router also has two internal Wi-Fi 6 antennas that are positioned horizontally to improve coverage in multi-story homes. With two routers, the AiMesh AX6100 Wi-Fi System provides up to 5500 square feet of Wi-Fi coverage. The Wi-Fi 6 standard also helps to improve battery life of connected devices and a bit of a raeven. A new technology called Target Wake Time (TWT) allows transmissions to be scheduled, so connected devices can sleep for longer periods, delivering up to 7X better battery life. Wi-Fi 6 is fully backwards compatible with previous Wi-Fi standards, so users can connect any Wi-Fi device to the AiMesh AX6100 Wi-Fi System and enjoy a seamless networking experience.
