BSS Colouring Boosts Connection Efficiency

WiFi 6 includes a new feature called BSS Colouring that improves WiFi connection efficiency even in crowded environments. When two neighbouring routers send traffic on the same channel, your router has to wait until the channel is free. With BSS Colouring, your WiFi 6 router identifies its data with a unique channel tag (‘colour’) that’s different from neighbouring networks. Your WiFi 6 router can then ignore other-coloured signals on the channel and send data immediately. This greatly reduces router waiting times and boosts network efficiency.

The Latest WPA3 Network Security

The next generation of WiFi security brings new capabilities to enhance WiFi protections in personal networks. Building on the widespread adoption of WPA2 over more than a decade, WPA3 adds new features to simplify WiFi security, enable more robust authentication, and deliver increased cryptographic strength for highly sensitive data markets.

More Privacy, Anywhere

Free public WiFi is rarely secure. Thanks to Instant Guard VPN technology, you can surf on public WiFi networks safely through RT-AX52 with one-click setup. In addition, it’s free!

Flexible and Scalable Wireless Networking

If you need more coverage or new functions, you can simply add another compatible router to your AiMesh network at any time!
