Every device is protected with RT-AX82U, and you can keep an eye on everything that's happening on your network via the handy mobile app.
Fortified Frontline Network Security
RT-AX82U features AiProtection Pro powered by Trend Micro to defend your network from external attacks, with automatic and regular updates. Working with WPA3, the latest WiFi security protocol, AiProtection Pro keeps out security threats before they can reach your devices, including devices that cannot install anti-virus software — such as smartphones and game consoles.
