ASUS RT-AX50 AX3000 WiFi 6 AiMesh Router - Dual Band
The ASUS RT-AX50 is a WiFi 6 dual-band router delivering 3000 Mbps total throughput for households and small offices that need faster wireless coverage across multiple devices. It supports the latest 802.11ax standard with OFDMA and MU-MIMO to handle many simultaneous connections, and works as a standalone router or as part of an AiMesh network.
Why this product
WiFi 6 with 3000 Mbps throughput
Delivers 2402 Mbps on 5 GHz and 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz using 802.11ax, with support for 80/160 MHz channel widths and 1024-QAM modulation.
OFDMA and MU-MIMO for multiple devices
Efficiently allocates bandwidth to communicate with many devices at once, reducing congestion and latency in crowded networks.
AiMesh compatible
Works as a primary router or node in an ASUS AiMesh network to extend coverage without dropping the connection.
Built-in security features
Includes WPA3 encryption, Instant Guard threat detection, parental control scheduling, and a built-in VPN for encrypted browsing.
Flexible operating modes
Functions as a wireless router, access point, media bridge, repeater, or AiMesh node depending on your network layout.

- Works with any WiFi 6, WiFi 5, WiFi 4 or older WiFi devices via backward compatibility with 802.11ac, 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11b and 802.11a standards.
- Connects to the internet via a single Gigabit Ethernet WAN port and provides four Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports for wired devices.
- Includes one USB 3.2 Gen 1 port for external storage or printers.
- Can operate as an AiMesh node, but requires a compatible ASUS AiMesh primary router to function in that mode.
Best for
- Homes with many connected devices needing simultaneous bandwidth.
- Users wanting to expand coverage via AiMesh without replacing their router.
- Small offices or apartments seeking WiFi 6 performance at a mid-range price.
- Families that need parental controls and built-in VPN for privacy.
Trade-offs
- Very large homes or commercial spaces requiring more than four LAN ports; external switch recommended.
- Users with dual-stream WiFi 6 devices seeking maximum 5 GHz throughput; this router is 2x2 MIMO, not 4x4.
- Installations requiring PoE (Power over Ethernet) support; this router has no PoE capability.
