ASUS RT-AC88U Manual

The ASUS RT-AC88U's NitroQAM (1024-QAM) technology delivers a combined WLAN speed of 3167 Mbps and ensures that every network subscriber can experience smooth streaming and online gaming with low latency. Ping times and variances are critical technical parameters that affect the responsiveness of online gaming. These values depend mainly on the route that the data packets relevant for the game have to travel to and from their destination. WTFast's Gamers Private Network (GPN) automatically optimizes the performance of the routing by selecting the most efficient route for gaming relevant data packets, resulting in lastingly reduced ping time and minimal packet loss. With the ASUS RT-AC88U, this optimization can be used free of charge to speed up a selectable device and benefit from the results of supported multiplayer games.

The ASUS RT-AC88U offers bandwidth and signal coverage for all gaming devices, from consoles to PCs to mobile devices, and supports any operating system, including Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. With Adaptive QoS (Quality of Service), the bandwidth available for games can be increased by simply prioritizing game-relevant data packages and activities. In Gamer Solo Mode you can even reserve the entire bandwidth for gaming. This makes the RT-AC88U the perfect ally for gaming with the lowest latency. It supports the main game consoles, including PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PS4 Pro, PlayStation Vita, Wii U, 3DS and Xbox One.
