ASUS Announces 4G LTE Router Series

4G-AC55U and 4G-N12 Wi-Fi routers combine the cable-free convenience of ultra-fast 4G LTE mobile broadband services with fast wired and wireless networking

ASUS today announced 4G-AC55U and 4G-N12, two W-Fi routers featuring built-in 4G LTE modems for high-speed internet access via the mobile network.

These routers are perfect for use in locations where traditional fixed-line broadband services are slow, unreliable or non-existent. They are also ideally suited for use as backup internet access devices in the home or office.

These stylish and compact routers support either 4G LTE or Ethernet WAN connections, making them extremely flexible. Additionally, 4G-AC55U has dual-WAN failover and failback capabilities for interruption-free internet connections. 4G-AC55U has the latest dual-band 802.1ac (AC1200) Wi-Fi, while 4G-N12 supports 802.11n (N300) for convenient wireless sharing of internet connectivity. The use of external antennas maximizes coverage and provides a strong, stable wireless signal to all devices.

For internet access, users just need to insert a suitable 4G LTE SIM or micro-SIM into the slot on the router and power it on to connect the device automatically to the mobile network via the dedicated external antenna. Full mobile data logging makes it easy for the user to avoid exceeding any data volume limits in their mobile service package.

Both models are incredibly easy to set up, with a simple 3-step installation procedure using the intuitive ASUSWRT graphical user interface. Both also feature mobile network signal strength indicators to aid installation and diagnostics.

4G-AC55U: Advanced high-speed connectivity

ASUS 4G-AC55U supports 4G LTE connections up to 150Mbit/s for downloads and up to 50Mbit/s for uploads — up to five times (5X) faster than HSPA+.[1] It also features the latest concurrent dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi for aggregate speeds of up to 1167Mbit/s on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands. The external Wi-Fi antennas and fine-tuned radio-frequency (RF) design give 4G-AC55U outstanding range and coverage.

4G-AC55U has dual-WAN capability, with Ethernet internet connections supported via a dedicated Gigabit Ethernet WAN port. Failover and failback support for the 4G LTE and Ethernet WAN connections means that if one connection fails, 4G-AC55U switches smoothly and automatically to the secondary connection for interruption-free internet connectivity. 4G-AC55U has a total of four Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports for outstanding network flexibility.

The LED status indicators keep users completely informed for easy diagnostics, includin

4G-AC55U also includes a USB 2.0 port for convenient network sharing of printers or storage.

4G-N12: The essential 4G LTE companion

ASUS 4G-N12 is feature-rich Wi-Fi router that allows users to enjoy the convenience of high-speed mobile broadband at home or in the office. Featuring 4G LTE speeds up to 100Mbit/s (download) and 50Mbit/s (upload), plus fast 802.11n Wi-Fi with speeds up to 300Mbit/s, 4G-N12 is an ideal choice for users who need an entry-level alternative to fixed-line broadband.
As well as integrated 4G LTE, one of the four LAN ports on 4G-N12 can be configured as an Ethernet WAN port, giving users added flexibility to choose their preferred internet connectivity.
