For all gamers, for better or worse, the internet connection has now become an essential constant to have fun with your passion. Whether you want to download games and updates quickly, or compete on the online multiplayer game servers, a stable band is now the standard, although the spread of the latter is still quite distant in different parts of our country. However, in support of those who do not already have a high-performance connection, and in aid of those who want better, some companies offer routers on the market that are much better than those provided by network providers, just as it happens for theAsus RT-AX82U.
A very special router, with a considerable cost, which however can be a real turning point for many players, as it allows you to polish every bit of your connection, optimizing it in particular for the gaming world, with the possibility of obviously exploiting it for any field. So let's find out what the potential of the article in question is, also analyzing all the features that characterize it.
Elegant or aggressive?
The product is solid and offers the right connections
The router branded Asus comes with a rather minimal package, which contains a product aesthetically with a design really halfway between elegance, given its potential versatility in all environments, and the footprint dedicated to "gaming products" between eye-catching edges and RGB. Inside the package we really find the essential, perhaps not the best considering the price of the product. A power cable, one (only one) dedicated to the ethernet, and of course the router. Four fully adjustable antennas and well made, they are positioned at the rear of the product, together with several useful ports. A USB 3.0 perfect for data transmission, the classic WAN and four equally standard LAN ports, at least at first glance. The first of these is in fact a real release dedicated to gaming, as it gives maximum priority to the signal and therefore allows to obtain a stable line during game sessions, even if other devices are connected to the network at the same time. After all, Signal optimization is precisely the flagship of the Asus RT-AX82U. Both to the touch and observing the materials used, it is also easy to notice the very high quality of the product's workmanship.
The front is instead enriched by the presence of many RGB LEDs, almost needless to say, dedicated to technology RGB Aura Sync from Asus, which - although considered by many to be limited compared to other software - allows you to set really interesting lighting effects in a few simple and particularly intuitive moves. As far as the settings are concerned, it is possible maneuver the main possibilities of the router through the dedicated mobile app, sharing your network with a QR Code and interacting with an innovative button located in a screen of the same, which automatically optimizes the network connection for mobile gaming. Whether it's clearly online games, cloud gaming, or why not both, the Asus RT-AX82U will do everything possible to make your gaming sessions as smooth and stable as possible.
The potential of the Asus RT-AX82U
The Asus RT-AX82U is not limited between speed and safety
To deal with the more technical features, it is possible to proceed with the configuration of the item from a PC, using a complete but certainly less intuitive software. We are dealing with the lightning-fast standard of technology Wi-Fi 6 which reaches up to 5400Mbps with frequency of 160 Mhz, while covering a rather large area. The product is therefore also perfect for the use of PlayStation 5 e Xbox series X / S. Apart from its other functionalities, the device sets itself the task of don't create bottlenecks in the field of connections in almost no case, as it can also compete with the currently most advanced speeds. The software field has also been particularly taken care of by Asus, as the Asus RT-AX82U juggles well even with some specific technologies that are not exactly common. Let's talk about theadaptive QoS (Quality of Service), which allows you to easily give the correct priorities to the devices connected to the network, orOpen NAT which speeds up the process of Port (The Harbour District) Forwarding. We then find theAsus AiMesh, technology indicated for the creation of Mesh with various Asus devices, which interface with each other with simplified and unified systems. Particular consideration is also given to the security of the network with which the router interfaces, both for the security technology WPA3, you want for the permanent subscription ad AiProtectionPro Asus already included in the system.
