AiProtection Pro
Commercial-grade security for the family
All members of your family, young or old, are exposed to the dangers of the internet every moment they are online. Disguised cyber threats can sneak in to steal your personal data, or your children may accidentally encounter inappropriate content during their ever-increasing screen time. The DSL-AC68U includes advanced parental controls for complete peace of mind, with AiProtection Pro - commercial-grade security for your home network and comprehensive, easy control of the online experience for every family member and every device, all through the mobile app.
Parental Control
Keep your children safe while they explore the internet. AiProtection's state-of-the-art parental controls integrate all the management features you need in one place, and the intuitive interface makes it extremely easy to view and apply security settings to all devices belonging to individual family members.
Dual CPUs for fast and stable connections
The DSL-AC68U offers performance and flexibility with two CPUs. Each of its two processors optimizes wired and wireless connections. By separating VDSL/ADSL wired networking and Wi-Fi networking into two computing units with their own dedicated processing power, the DSL-AC68U achieves maximum performance for both types of connections without compromise.
Extremely fast AC Wi-Fi with Wi-Fi TurboQAM™ acceleration
With 5th generation Wi-Fi (5G Wi-Fi), Broadcom's new 802.11ac chipset provides the DSL-AC68U with ultra-fast wireless Gigabit speeds. Compared to today's 802.11n, the DSL-AC68U delivers up to 1.3Gbps at 5 GHz, which is 3 times faster than 802.11n! The upgraded bandwidth has the highest capacity you need to enhance your Wi-Fi enjoyment at home. With laptops, desktops, pads, and smartphones all now being Wi-Fi, it's time to upgrade to the next generation so you can expand your connectivity now and in the future.
AiRadar provides 150% Wi-Fi coverage*
ASUS AiRadar intelligently enhances wireless connectivity of devices using precise directional signal amplification for extended coverage, increased data transmission speed, and improved stability. Because connection strength varies depending on your environment, the DSL-AC68U uses three external high-gain antennas and universal beamforming to detect the positions of wireless devices and shape transmissions so they are optimized for fast and stable connection strength. Most importantly, universal beamforming works not only on 802.11ac clients but also on 802.11a/b/g/n clients.
Powerful Wi-Fi system for the whole house.
The way you want it.
In most cases, the RT-AC68U can provide smooth, reliable Wi-Fi to every corner of your home. However, Wi-Fi coverage can be affected by many factors, such as room layout, construction materials, and even furnishings. ASUS's AiMesh is an innovative new router feature that fixes these problems: it creates a whole-home Wi-Fi network using multiple routers. AiMesh is powerful, flexible, and you can use a combination of ASUS router models, protecting your investment! AiMesh offers you centralized control that saves time and seamless roaming capability.
ASUS Router App
Check your network anywhere
In your increasingly mobile life, controlling your network via an app is more important than ever. The new ASUS Router App has been built from the ground up to be intuitive and powerful, allowing you to set up your router, manage network traffic, diagnose connection issues, and even update firmware, all without needing to boot up a computer.
Higher USB Speeds
The ASUS DSL-AC68U wireless modem router features a USB 3.0 port. USB 3.0 offers up to ten times faster transfers than USB 2.0. FTP, HTTP, and UPnP server functions are achieved with immediate ease and speed, along with 3G/4G connection sharing and remote access to ASUS AiDisk files and content streaming from a wide range of compatible devices. Best of all, downloading can be done 24/7 even with the computer turned off, and printer sharing is also possible.
Gigabit Internet Browsing with Hardware NAT
Equipped with powerful NAT hardware acceleration and built-in Gigabit Ethernet, the DSL-AC68U wireless modem router provides you with full Gigabit LAN-to-WAN performance of over 900 Mbps, which is more than 4.5 times the performance of traditional software-based Gigabit NAT routers. This reduces the likelihood of congestion on fast internet connections.
Sync. Share. Stream. Your world on demand
ASUS AiCloud keeps you connected to your data wherever and whenever you have an internet connection. It links your home network and online storage service on the Web* and allows you to access it through the AiCloud mobile app on your iOS or Android smartphone or via a personalized URL in a Web browser. Even better, the new Router-to-Router Sync feature lets you synchronize your stuff with storage devices connected to other compatible ASUS routers - it's as simple as selecting a sync folder. Sharing with friends and family is now easier than ever!
Download and stream anywhere
Download Master and the enhanced media server allow you to download and play media files stored on USB storage connected to the router on a wide range of compatible devices, such as PC, pad, PS4, Xbox, and smart TV. Download Master can also download files while your computer is turned off and lets you manage and monitor download status remotely.
