Such popular game projects as DOTA 2, League of Legends, World of Tanks, Overwatch, PUBG, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Team Fortress 2, Fortnite Battle Royale and others are supported. The router is positioned as a product of the highest price category, it is able to cope with such complex tasks as online gaming with simultaneous video streaming in 4K (UHD) resolution. The device is based on one of the most performant hardware solutions - the Broadcom BCM4709C0 SoC system, which has two ARM A9 architecture cores operating at 1.4 GHz.
The Asus RT-AC88U wireless router is equipped with 4 external antennas for operation in the 2.4 GHz band and 4 for the 5 GHz band. According to the manufacturer, when using Broadcom NitroQAM technology, the data transfer rate in the first case can reach 1000 Mbps, and in the second 2167 Mbps. To create a cable network infrastructure of the Gigabit Ethernet standard, 8 LAN ports with the function of link aggregation (up to 2 Gbps) are provided. There are two USB-ports of 2.0 and 3.0 standards, Firewall functionality, DHCP, FTP, WEB, file and print servers are supported.

Gaming router
In addition to a bunch of gaming products, Asus decided to separate gaming routers into a separate category. Asus RT-AC88U became the first sign in the manufacturer's line. Immediately striking is the aggressive sports car-like design with sharp, chopped lines, ornate grille and traditional red and black paintwork.
Low ping
But not with a single appearance, the set of skills of the router is also quite unusual. Firstly, Asus RT-AC88U owners get free access to the WTFast GPN service. It helps to optimize the path of game packets between the game server and the computer, thereby reducing ping. Secondly, in the router settings, you can enable the ASUS AQS service, which allows you to quickly prioritize traffic for games. For example, in the "Gamer Solo" mode, online games receive the entire strip, and background processes such as OS updates or antivirus work are stopped for the duration of the game. In online shooters where every millisecond matters, little things like this can save a life.
Works in mesh networks
The router also boasts four antennas in the 4T4R configuration (four for transmitting, four for receiving) and support for ASUS AiRadar technology, which allows you to focus the signal in the direction of the desired device for better communication in a busy network. The icing on the cake is support for the relatively new ASUS AirMesh technology, which allows you to combine several routers into one decentralized Mesh network.
Outrageous speed
Well, otherwise Asus RT-AC88U leaves behind most modern routers. For example, in the 5 GHz band, it boasts a data transfer rate of up to 2167 Mbps and up to 1000 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band. Compare this to the 867/400 Mbps that advanced AC1300 class routers deliver. In terms of connection, we have a pair of USB ports (one 3.0 and one 2.0) for connecting wireless modems, printers or network drives and eight gigabit RJ45 ports for wired connection of computers, Smart TVs, multimedia set-top boxes or other devices.
Well, traditionally for gaming devices, the main disadvantage of the Asus RT-AC88U is its biting price. Well, it takes a long time to load (about a minute and a half), although who cares if you turn it on and off at most once a year or two?
