using any compatible ASUS models.
AiMesh
overcomes many of the limitations found in alternative off-the-shelf whole-home
Wi-Fi systems, such as mesh-networking systems. Although these systems can be
convenient all-in-one solutions, they are often only available in fixed bundles,
with a limited choice of Wi-Fi speeds, hardware features and upgrade paths.
With AiMesh, users can create a completely flexible whole-home Wi-Fi system
tailored to their needs, while continuing to enjoy all the functions of each
individual ASUS router, such as extreme Wi-Fi performance and exclusive
advanced networking features. AiMesh also offers convenient central management
and control via either the ASUS Router mobile app or the ASUSWRT web interface.

Enabling
AiMesh on a compatible ASUS router just requires an easy — and completely free
— firmware update that allows it to be added to any AiMesh network, so users can
mix and match models according to their budget and/or needs, and make good use
of their old router when they upgrade.

Unrivaled Flexibility
Most modular mesh
systems are limited to a single SSID, whereas AiMesh offers seamless roaming
with either a single SSID for the entire AiMesh coverage area, or alternatively
with separate SSIDs for each frequency band. This allows increased flexibility,
for example by allowing them to dedicate the 5GHz band to gaming devices or a
smart TV.

smart TV.
Unlike off-the-shelf mesh
systems with a fixed feature set, AiMesh is designed to give users unrivaled
flexibility, allowing them to tailor the functions of their whole-home Wi-Fi
system to suit their individual needs. AiMesh-enabled routers retain all their original
networking features and capabilities — including ASUS AiProtection, Adaptive
QoS, Parental Controls and more — so users have no need to compromise their individual
networking preferences. Additionally, the features of the primary router are
shared with the entire AiMesh network, regardless of the models used.

Setup and management is
flexible too, with the choice of using either the intuitive ASUS Router App, or
the powerful and easy-to-use ASUSWRT web interface from a PC or laptop. All
settings and preferences are centrally controlled and synced to all routers in
the AiMesh network.

Full Coverage and Powerful Performance
Off-the-shelf mesh
networking systems are often more focused on improving overall coverage than on
delivering raw performance, leading to frustration for those users who demand
both full coverage and extreme Wi-Fi speeds.

ASUS routers are widely
acclaimed for their high performance and outstanding reliability, and with AiMesh
users can harness their power to create an unbeatable Wi-Fi system. In actual laboratory
tests using the latest dual-band ASUS RT-AC86U router we measured
Wi-Fi speeds that were 5.5X faster than a router from a dual-band, tri-hub mesh
system.

All ASUS routers have
specially designed and optimized antennas that ensure the best signal coverage
and stability, making them capable of delivering powerful signals to even the
most remote parts of the home.
