About ASUS USA
ASUS (ASUSTeK Computer Inc.) was founded in 1989 in Taiwan and is known globally for premium motherboards, laptops, and networking equipment. ASUS routers, particularly the ZenWiFi AX/AXE mesh systems and the RT-AX86U/RT-AX88U gaming routers, consistently top independent speed and range tests. ASUS's AiMesh technology allows users to combine any two compatible ASUS routers into a single unified mesh network.

Fix It Yourself
Try these steps before calling. They resolve the majority of common ASUS issues.
1
Enable adaptive QoS for better speeds
In the ASUS admin panel, go to Adaptive QoS and set your bandwidth and device priorities. Assigning gaming or streaming devices higher priority dramatically improves performance on shared home networks.
2
Update firmware via the ASUS Router app
Download the free ASUS Router app and enable automatic firmware update notifications. ASUS frequently releases firmware fixing security vulnerabilities and improving stability — staying current is important.
3
For AiMesh pairing — connect via cable first
When adding a new AiMesh node, connect it to the main router via an Ethernet cable first. Once it appears in the ASUS Router app as paired, disconnect the cable for wireless mesh operation. This prevents pairing failure.
shield Warranty & Coverage
ASUS routers include a 1-year limited warranty covering hardware defects. ASUS Care extended warranty plans are available through the ASUS website and authorized retailers.
quiz ASUS FAQ
Common questions answered by our research team.
add How do I access my ASUS router settings?
Open a browser and type router.asus.com or 192.168.1.1 in the address bar (not Google search). Default credentials are admin/admin — change your password immediately after your first login to prevent unauthorized access.
add What is AiMesh and how many nodes can I add?
AiMesh lets you combine compatible ASUS routers into one unified mesh network managed by a single SSID and password. You can add up to 10 AiMesh nodes. Nodes can be mixed models as long as they support AiMesh.
add Does ASUS offer a warranty on their routers?
ASUS routers include a 1-year limited warranty in the USA. Extended 2-year or 3-year warranties are available through ASUS Care or select retail partners. Register your product at asus.com for easier warranty claims.
add What is the difference between ASUS Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E?
Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) operates on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Wi-Fi 6E adds the 6 GHz band, which is less congested and offers faster speeds at shorter range. ASUS ZenWiFi Pro ET12 and similar models support Wi-Fi 6E.
add Can I install custom firmware (Merlin) on ASUS routers?
Yes, Asuswrt-Merlin is a popular third-party firmware for ASUS routers that adds features like per-client QoS, advanced VPN, and script support. It's widely used and generally stable, but installing it voids your warranty and isn't officially supported by ASUS.
