The enhanced ASUSWRT graphical user interface gives you easy access to the 30-second, 3-step web-based installation process. It's also where you can configure AiCloud 2.0 and all advanced options. ASUSWRT is web-based, so it doesn't need a separate app, or restrict what you can change via mobile devices — you get full access to everything, from any device that can run a web browser.
ASUSWRT features are model-dependent. Please refer to the detailed product specifications.

Traffic Analyzer gives you an at-a-glance view of what's happening on your network on a daily, weekly or monthly timescale. It lets you see immediately how much bandwidth each user, device or application has used, helping you to reduce bottlenecks in your internet connection.

AiProtection, incorporating state-of-the-art, three-pronged security from Trend Micro™, gives you enterprise-level security in the home — making ASUS routers equipped with this feature the most secure home routers you can buy! It constantly monitors the health and safety of your network for total peace of mind.
Many simple problems can compromise security, such as a weak router password, unencrypted Wi-Fi or unblocked remote access. Incorrect settings could allow hackers to change router settings and bypass your firewall to control devices, steal sensitive personal information or even use your IP camera remotely.
