Wireless-AC5300 Tri-Band Gigabit Router

Product page • WebUI Demo

While not really represented well in the infobox, this is a tri-radio device - all radios
(2x 5GHz [11an+ac], 1x 2.4GHz [11bgn]) used are (FullMAC arch. targeted) BCM4366.

Features

Ultra-fast 802.11ac Wi-Fi router with a combined tri-band data rate of 5334 Mbps

for low latency online gaming, smooth 4K streaming and extremely fast file-sharing.

Broadcom NitroQAM technology boosts two 5GHz data rates up to 4330 Mbps and

2.4GHz up to 1000 Mbps.

Tri-Band with multiple devices connected at same time. Tri-Band Smart Connect

automatically selects the fastest of the three available frequency bands for each

device, based on the device’s speed, signal strength and how busy each band is.

8x capacity Wi-Fi with revolutionary MU-MIMO technology.

4x4 MIMO antenna design with AiRadar universal beamforming for unrivaled

multi-device performance and wireless signal range up to 500 m2.

Link aggregation supports close to 2 Gbps wired transmission for more

devices to faster access speed.

AiProtection with Trend Micro with triple-strength total network security,

plus robust parental controls and privacy protection
