ASUS AiMesh Technology Expand Your Whole Home Wi-Fi The Way You Want It
WHAT'S ASUS AiMesh
ASUS AiMesh is an innovative new router feature that connects multiple ASUS routers to create a whole-home WiFi network. It’s a powerful and flexible way to solve your WiFi problems that also makes the most of your existing hardware. AiMesh gives you time-saving central control over all the routers, and seamless roaming capability means you never need to switch networks.
AiMesh Vs Mesh
With other whole-home WiFi systems, you're limited to using matching hubs, and you often need to buy them in multi-hub packs.
AiMesh is much more flexible and cost-effective: if you already own an ASUS router, our commitment to adding new features to
existing routers means you can use it in your AiMesh network! For those new to ASUS, if you buy an ASUS router and find that
later you need to extend coverage, simply add extra ASUS routers to your AiMesh system as needed.
A RELIABLE AND SEAMLESS WiFi EXPERIENCE
Smart Technology for Maximum Reliability
AiMesh incorporates several technologies to ensure performance and reliability. A rock-solid data backbone connects all the AiMesh-enabled routers, with AiMesh intelligently choosing either a wired connection or the optimal frequency band.
Self-healing immediately replaces a failed router using the remaining router connections.

Without Roaming
When moving between rooms you have to switch manually to the best WiFi source. You can't always tell which one has the best signal.

With Roaming Technology on AiMesh
AiMesh automatically and seamlessly connects your devices to the router with the strongest WiFi signal, wherever you are. WiFi is simple again!
INCREDIBLY EASY,
BUT INCREDIBLY POWERFUL
AiMesh is incredibly easy to use, but that doesn’t mean it’s not powerful. With AiMesh, all routers can still use all their own features, as well as all the features of the other routers — with easy central control of all settings from the ASUS Router mobile app or ASUSWRT. So great features like AiProtection, QoS and Parental Controls work across the entire network, ensuring that no-one can bypass them by connecting to a different router. Just remember to always connect your highest-specification router to your internet service.
